REAL 0-60 mph time for T-5R sedan? 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be kevin on  Mon Aug 19 19:11 CST 2002 [RELATED]

hi, I have been wondering for quite some time about the 0 to 60 mph and quarter mile times of a 1995 850 T-5R sedan. I have seen many times posted from 6.1 to 7.2 with 6.9 and 6.7 being the most popular estimate. The only road test I have found for a T-5R was in an archive of a car and driver magazine(which can be found at) http://www.caranddriver.com/xp/Caranddriver/roadtests/1995/May/199505_850t52.xml?keywords=volvo%20850
Now this was a wagon and they got it to run to 60 in 6.7 seconds. Logic would tell me that a sedan version would be a little quicker, just because of less weight, etc. I have a car mag that has the WRX sedan running 5.6 and the wagon 6.8, now I am sure the difference isn't always that drastic otherwise my T-gul would be running 5.5 sec to 60. But from personal experience I truly do believe that my car is be capable of running in the low to low mid 6's. Smoked a Gran Prix GTP by more than a car length and that runs a 6.8. If anyone has some test data of a sedan or more figures of 0 to 60 and quarter mile times I would greatly appreciate it!
