S60R is very nice!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall,
Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

no prob ma man. i was on the pike headed north on the trucks side. think before the airport. this dropped s60r flys past at abuck20 and i give chase catch up.. the V was stock at the time..2 people in the car . circa summer09.. so we back down to 55 3 beep it and i jump out by a car and a half but cant walk him like i would of thought off. he just stays to me and only loses steam after 115-125ish compared to me..didnt sound like a beast just had a nice ~30mm drop.. i was impressed to say the least. it looked really slick at speed dropped Originally Posted by 900AERO

S60R is a great car, my friend's family has 2 of them, only downfall is that they have a really really wide turning radius.

he auto s60rs have a tq limiter which you can tune out, hence why they tend to feel kinda slow.
make it work for you... and then build this.. 2006 Evolve Volvo S60R - Performance Tuner Road Test - Motor Trend2005 cts-v... growing power hungry. Originally Posted by carendt242

so today i went test drove this 2007 Volvo S60 R
.... 2007 11k miles 6 speed. it does not get better than this for a 2007 car......i was hoping i would find the answer to my question and I did. the 230 hp Viggen Won....... while the volvo felt a lot more solida and tighter it just didn't move like a turbo car it felt more like a V6, Inititial power but then ------------------------------------------------------------------------.reminded me of a Jeep wrangler i rented in Cali when i was tired of driving a saab vert for 5 days as a rental. I would call any S60r stock out there to show me I am wrong.... Thanks every one for the input but I think I am keeping the Viggen until i eother find the super rare SAAB Turbo X combi and see how that feels. that or a RS4 wagon from germany...since they did' import the RS4 in Wagons in the US.BOOST=
