[bobcat]

Anyone happen to know say the top 5 most powerfulest volvo's in the uk (any model, road or non-road legal)?

Im asking as ive recently been looking at what the future holds in terms of mods for my car, and the prospect of a lary engine is on the cards. however i would like to know what the competition is beforehand so i know how high to aim powerwise!!!

I am sorry, I cannot help but say something.......
but what kind of crap English is that title????!!??

'Fastest\powerfulest volvo's in the UK??'

Why don't you do just type it wrong properly and put:

'The most fasterer\most powerfulest volvo's in the UK??'

Maybe better would be:

'Does anyone know who has the fastest\most powerful Volvos in the UK??'

Bobcat, no offence intended (honestly!!) but it grates me to the bone when grammar that bad is posted up.

Dan.

P.S. while I am at it, the word is lairy, not lary.

On the subject of the thread, if I have interpreted it correctly, then I guess my C70 HAD to be one of the most fasterist.
Sorry, couldn't help it!

I worded it that way to keep it short and so that the main words would be present in the latest replies section.

I thought my wording and phrasing was fine, however added the \ as unfortunately people like you would argue each word against the other.

Bobcat...
What are you talking about?

What has the slash got to do with it?

Simply put, there is no such word as 'powerfulest'!
Please don't turn this into something it is not; I am only voicing that I wish correct grammar was/is used. Nothing more.
Never mind.

Oh, and at the risk of sounding argumentative; Who exactly are 'people like me' in your eyes?

Thread derailed on the first reply! Nice!

Surely that majorly off topic subject of poor grammar, should have gone to PM?

Anyways, to get the thread back on topic..

My 960 24v is the current most powerful and fastest Volvo in UK. With 204 hp, and so far a VMax of an indicated 124 MPH on my GPS

Well, until someone posts to say different! Flame away oh Power and Speed Gurus.

Hi Matt,

In the UK at least, I haven't heard anything that beats stu's hp thats based on an 850 platform, if you want to really go to town there are a couple of examples on VolvoSpeed where people have gone what can only be discribed as insane with them, mostly people based in Sweden and the Scandanavian countries.

Do you want it to still be road legal? Will it be a daily driver?

thanks chris and darren,

Yeah i know of stu's and al's, but just wondered whether there's any cars that we dont see on the forums that thier owners keep quiet.

Knowing some of the secrets of "the 850r" i can say that my car will be knowhere near it, but hopefully pretty much the same as al's.

Its just i would like to be able to say to people that my volvo is one of the the most powerful in the UK when im defending myself for driving an old mans car!!!

I ideally would like to have around 500+ bhp and still keep it as my daily drive.

The modding should start soon with the big reds and 330mm's.

oh, and i will be definately going to a manual box!!!

Thought about a 6 Speeder from an S60R ?

I think someone in the US has put one on an 850 T5 when doing a manual swap.

I must meet you & your R one of these days!

Al's car should be progressing a little more soon - he is always jet setting with his work, so has little time with the poor thing.

1. Stu's 850R
2. Elliot's 850 ?
3. Ashok's V40 T4 ?
4. Joe's S40 T4 ?
5. Al's V70 T5 soonish ?

Dan, yours was one of the fastest in the UK ?! Quality - wish I had the chance to see it.

What has happened to Spesh ?
