I took 2 seperate car's on 100mph + trips for long periods,

one was an 89 745 and the other was an 87 765

Both performed well, though both were very well maintained too, complete front suspension redone, at least H rated tires all around ETC ETC, i felt comfortable doing 100, NOW becarefull and test this speed before you really think it is okay it will take a hell of a lot of time to stop a volvo doing 100mpg, i do 80mph on a daily basis here in So Cal and that takes long enough to stop, the only time i have done 100mph is in the middle of the night driving home on a 8-16 lane freeway which is properly paved ( a rareity here in so cal but the 15 is still in good shape ).
