Can this 0-60 V70 T5 be for real??? ALL 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Yannis Alatzas on  Wed Nov 28 13:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]

According to Motor Week, they tested a 2001 V70 T5 w/ Geartronic and the 0-60mph was recorded at...(gulp!) 6.2 seconds and the 1/4-mile was achieved in 14.8 seconds at 98mph!!!

I would love to believe that it is possible but I have a hard time believing that. I know my car is extremely quick with its manual transmission, never measured its 0-60 but I sincerely doubt I could hit 60mph in under 6.7secs...

Check out the whole evaluation by clicking on the link below...
