Thanks for your reply, and the 5.4 sec. update. That would be impressive enough.

In the final analysis, I think the S60 will certainly be capable of (and modifiable to) sub-5 seconds, but I doubt they'll do that with the stock version. A lot will depend on the suspension, of course, as they'll need to balance acceleration and braking with another important consideration - holding on in the turns. And they have their 'safety' niche to think about. Compared to the smaller M3 and S4, the Volvo is a more substantial automobile, almost massive. On the other hand, the M5 is also sub-5. Hmmmm.
