Jaxx Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I'm sick of that list. My 855 turbo ran 15.4 all night without hooking up well. either their drivers were horrible or they were testing turbo'd cars in space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POOKDIZZLE Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Why would a 95 850t5r be .3 seconds faster than a 96 850r? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, your time was pretty accurate to what a STOCK 855 Turbo does, which your car IS. With the open-diff, it's rather hard to get a good run without having some sticky tires or absolutely no launch. Do we know how they did their 1/4 mile test, simply floor it when the light turns green, or did they powerbrake, auto or manual? We don't know, so don't get all riled up over nothing.

With the open-diff, it's rather hard to get a good run without having some sticky tires or absolutely no launch.I fail to see your point. If I couldn't hook up wouldn't that make me faster if I did? I'm already faster than what they have listed.Sure with an open-diff you can't get the best launch, but comon' your launching in a straight line, not turning. Even you of all people have done a 2 wheel burnout on an open diff. Unless you have some major weighting problems or extreme torque steer, you shouldn't just plainly spin 1 tire.according to the list, "1994 Volvo 850 Sportwagon Turbo 7.4 15.5" My car is stock. Since a majority of 850 turbos are auto, I'm gonna guess they tested an auto 850 turbo. I ran a 15.4. If an amateur driver like me can pull a better time than them(assuming from a tester like road & track, etc, "professional"), thats pretty sad, imo. for 50 degrees out and the track being prepared right after it rained, I don't understand how they could pull a time slower than that of a worn, 180K mile, with okay compression and a 180K mile, turbo, 850. Sure 50 degrees would help slightly with power, but come on.I would expect my time to be about .2 seconds slower than theirs, which was the case with my mother's S70 T5, 15.1 vs their 14.9.

RussB Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I fail to see your point...blah blah blahI fail to see YOUR point. Crapping on this thread, that is! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvoson Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Somehow my car did a 14.0 when it was supposed to do a 15.0..... Oh ya, more boost and different turbo helped.Your mod list says you are running more boost, so that alone COULD have made your time that much faster then a "stock" 855 Turbo.

Volvoson Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 the point is, some of those times aren't accurate.Your car isn't "factory spec", so it's not comparable to "factory spec" times... You need to be completely stock in order to qualify for that class, at least IMO :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM850R Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Maybe you had a tail wind? I ran a 15.2 (completely stock - rims) in my R. I assume the rims can make a small difference in the times. I am stil curious about the difference between the T5R and the R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
