Pretty good times for a front wheel drive Volvo. TBH a front wheel drive Volvo is never going to be that great at the quarter but all good fun. It’s funny how times have moved on, I reckon a Golf R with a map probably runs high 11s, not as cool as a Volvo obviously!
What mods and power were you running?
I used to go to the Pod all the time years ago, late eighties and 90’s. Just for comparison my standard old 2.8 Capri was 16.98 at 89mph, my 1993 3.0 M3 best I did was 13.9 at 101 mph and a 3dr Cossie I had that was running about 360bhp 13.3 at 117 mph. Best way to judge how quick the car is is terminal speed.
I gave up going there about 20 years ago as I got more into doing trackdays.
I’ve got two manual 854 T-5R’s and a F80 M3, love a Volvo!
