Came upon this website msn review that the T5 manual gets 5.7 seconds from 0-60 and 6.5 on a T5 geartronic. Very unrealistic. And yet the reviewers' methods described in the review seem very legitimate.
Who knows i say. The T5 is a fast car, just has problems getting off the line. This had to be a very good day, perfect weather, no fuel in the tank, a very small driver. If Im correct when Car and Driver test, they had a driver, 100lbs of equipment, and a full tank of gas. But who knows. The power is there to make the run, I just dont think the traction is there. I will say this I smoked a WRX in my T5 and it does 0-60 in 5.8 sec(WRX). I say good for the 5.7 sec T5quote:

I don't know how these clowns get their numbers, anyway. They claim that a n/a S60 with automatic is quicker in the 1/4-mile by .3 secs. Who is shifting? My dead grandmother? And then, the S60 2.4T is only .2 secs quicker (in the 1.4-mile) than the automatic non-turbo? Yeah! And the 2.4T has the same fuel economy as the non-turbo automatic? Yeah! and...and...and...quote:

That is a damn good question. What is the fastest production Volvo ever made? I am guessing that it is the S70R FWD Manual, until the S60R comes out.quote:

So, does that make the s60 the fastest car as of yet made from Volvo?
You think that the S70R (FWD) with a manual is quicker than an S60 T5 with a manual? Taking any bets?quote:

Well, I was was able to kill my friends 850T5 with chip with my S60T5 until he mounted this stupid 4 stage selectable ECU and a free flow exhaust/downpipe without cat. ....quote:
