vid requests

[Raist103]

some of you guys asked for the vids of jeff in his lightning losing to a volvo twice, well i am heading to sy-ty.com now to host them in my gallery under ramdom vids. they are dark since it is at night but you get the idea

 

[MyTyphoon1993]

, what did that volvo have done to it.

 

[Raist103]

i dont know, a guy from the board knows most people where we street race down rt37 "ken" and he never saw this guy before, but he had a boost controler on his dash and said at the next light when we stopped "if i knew you had a camera i would have turned the boost up" i thought it was funny.

just to let you all know since i was not thinking when i posted it that people from other areas other then eastern would look here, jeff has my old gen 2, y2k, 4lb lower pully, 2 lb upper, chip, k&n, and valve body in trans, and runs a 12.5.

that way anyone that watches can compare how fast this volvo really was. another thing o think about is this was the older 80s boxy style volvo.

Then it had to have lt1 or ls1 or a 350 that has a turbo or was supercharged.

 

[Raist103]

it was a 6 turboed i know the sound well i have had many v6 turbo cars 3gns and the ty. there was no way it was a v8 way to quite. even a stock muffler on a lt1 or ls1 was much louder, again i would know i have had 3 hawks, 1 ws6, 2 stangs-302 and 351, and other v8 cars. just no way it was a 8.

that volvo was impressive. i liked the mid '90s T-5 volvos. someone needs to track him down and get some daytime vid. that would be sweet.

thats what I think it was. It definately wasnt an 80's style volvo. I have 2 sitting outside right now, just from seeing the taillights I can tell you it was newer than 1990 and if I was to take an educated guess, I would have to say it was an 850 T5-R

very bad ass, I wanted one in a wagon version back before I had the Ty.

 

[phoonTy]

that's the car morgan. cept i wanted a yellow one with black wheels. might still get one someday. always looking for an alternative to the ty for when i get a real job. then i can give the ty even more tlc.

oh and just a little info on the 850 series:

built from 1993-1997 with a curb weight of 3250 pounds

turbo models started in 1994 with 222 HP / 221 lb ft 2.3 L Turbocharged 5 cylinder

T5-R's started in 1995 and were bumped up from 222hp to 240hp while the standard turbo models stayed at 222 with 1997 being the final year of production.

1998 volvo started with its V, C and S nameplates. The 850 sedan was now known as the S70 T5 and sported a 236 HP 246 lb ft 2.3L engine.


HTH

 

[MyTyphoon1993]

Yeah after seeing the vid carefully it is a newer style volvo, must have a B.A.T.

i dont believe the AWD stuff started till 1998 when the Cross Country wagons and stuff started showing up. but i could be wrong.

 

[93ty475]

that thing was FAST...it would be interesting to know if he's running the stock bottom end and or drivetrain...highly doubtful but you never know...thats a sweet red car that morgan posted...

 

[Raist103]

i am taking the stang to be fixed up tomorrow, should have it back mid week and then next week looks like a trip back to rt37 is in order and see if i can not find him.


i guess it was a newer one i had tought i was more boxy but it was like 2-3am so what do i know.
