I'm with KLR142... I'm surprised you didn't get your butt beat. I would hazard a guess that if you stop the clock at 1980 (pre-turbo), the '71 142E was the fastest accelerating stock Volvo sedan ever imported to the US.

Note that the 142E is running an Isky "performance" cam... that probably accounts for a lot of why not.

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
