S40 Performance/Apologies S40-V40 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be VolvoFan on  Wed Jan 17 14:23 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I don't remember who it was that posted a 0-60 time of 7 seconds flat for a new S40 but I do remember giving him a really hard time about it.

I need to apologize for that. Sorry.

The car: 2001 Volvo S40, Torch Red, Tan interior, loaded.

The mileage: 4400 miles

The conditions: around freezing, clear skies

The gas: 92 octane

The procedure: left foot brake, right foot gas to 2000 RPM, DSA off.

The 0-60 time: 7.65 seconds, bone stock on SNOW TIRES!!!

Intake added: 7.30 seconds ON SNOWS!!

Gimmie some grip and I'm sure I'll make better numbers on summer rubber. I stand corrected my friend. This is one helluva a quick little car considering the engine size and such. Volvo needs to rethink their 8.5 second estimate BIG TIME!!
