N00b Question On S80 R Potential


khafra

Recommended Posts

i have entertained this thought before, but have concluded that it's gonna be a mighty tight fit in the 850/70 engine compartment, with the width of the extra cylinder and all :P

doable? probably. i wanna see it happen. 20% more displacement on the same technology should give roughly 20% more power... so the high end builds that put down 400-500whp indicate that a properly built T6 can do 480-600whp. that would be interesting on a fwd car <_<

its real simple my next project goal is...

Sleeved T6 running twin gt30r's motor turned 90*, cut frame stretched to accomadte motor and massive intercooler and race radiator. C4 corvette full IRS, welded rear doors, widebody, fuel cell, stand alone ems and 700+ rwhp, 2700lbs...its my ode to the japanese supercars swedish style, also the S70 volvo "should have" built. So nobody can tell me i have no respect for a T6 whiteblock. Gimme 3 years and $20k+

I won't use an s80 chassis, the S70 lines up everything very close so fab in nominal compared to another platform. Also the shorter wheel base will make the car a lot more quirky in the corners, we're about an 1" and some change longer then an EVO 8/9. Plus i just love my S70's looks, and i have goals for the exterior mods also, that widebody won't be for nothing.

an 850 doesn't suck out of the box?

you must be kidding, right?

No, I'm not. I bet sales numbers support this statement, as well.

I'm also including personal opinion in there, though. I will admit that when I had the 850 GLT I thought it sucked. Once I started driving the T-5R though it was a completely different story.

Ok let's all just relax here or close the thread? ...We are all here to help, not argue over sometimg so stupid. There are so many talented/gifted people on this forum why ruin it with argumentative,personally challenging threads as such? Honestly threads like this SUCK...IMO!! Use your knowledge in positive ways!

I'm gonna say lets not close the thread but let it fade away?

;)

Now I'm gonna go sit in my hickory rocker(that I made) on the front porch with a 2x4 and a beer! If one of you says 'sum-tin stewpid'(my text message) I'm gonna take ya' too the tool shed . (No daddy NO!!!)

:o
