Actually some of the fastest volvos are 850/S70s
and then there some insane ones in sweden at 500-700+hp range
300whp is not that hard to get compared to the newer cars

Re: (Edogg218)
This is me EXACTLY? MPG? BAH!!! This thing sounds awesome and is such a fun driving experience for me, partly because it's a giant swedish station wagon.
I had a V70 T5 with a little bit of work and a manual tranny. That car was very quick, and surprised a lot of people.
What's more pleasing to me about this is that a Volvo driver decided he wanted to "play" a bit on the road with another one!! http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

I just can't seem to keep my foot out of the car...it's just so much fun, like a rollercoaster. |

Re: T5 S70 Surprise (Edogg218)
I owned a '98 S70 T5 and it was a surprisingly fast car from 35MPH on. It was a bit of a dog off the line (not much worse than my '04 SR GT w the torque limiter) but she was definitely fun on the upper end.
One experience in particular that sticks out was while driving North on I-57 in Illinois towards Chicago. I'm doing roughly 70MPH in cruise and passing a semi on the left. I look in my mirror and see a red Lotus Espirit fly up on my tail. I leave it in cruise but prepare myself for the festivities I'm sure will shortly begin as the road is clear ahead.

Just as I pass the semi and have enough room to get back in the right lane, I do. The Lotus sees his opening and floors it...I oblige and do the same.

We end up running side by side all the way up to, well, up to a much larger number and when we both finally have to back off due to traffic, he looks over with a "what just happened" look on his face. I smile and give him a big http://********************/smile/emthup.gif as if to say "you've just been "volvo'ed".
I then glance over at my wife and notice she has the all to familiar look of "are you freaking kidding me" written all over her face. Maybe once we've been married 20 years she'll realize that man's right foot and brain are not always on the same wave length...

Re: (T5 for Life)
I thought the same thing. If I hadn't been in a hurry I would have tried to flag him down. We did wave, and I wanted to make sure he knew I wasn't a DB.
