I own a 1997 Volvo 850...standard sedan, no turbo, no upgades. Love the car it is comfortable and economical.
But, I have a two part question that I would appreciate some help on regarding performance.
1. Despite extensive searches the only performance data I can find for this vehicle is the 0-60 mph time and standing 1/4 mile figures that are quoted at a couple of the major sites like Edmunds. There are a number of reports that cover the turbo version giving 0-50, 0-60, 0-70, 0-80, 0-90: but does anyone know of such data eg, road test report for the standard sedan?
2. When I see data like 0-60 mph and standing quarter mile times, presumably there are some 'standard' conditions that are used (an industry standard)

such as 1000-5000 mile run engine, tuning set at manufacturers specification, driver only payload, dry flat road

Does anyone know what these 'standards' are?

Appreciate any input,
Thanks,
Martyn
