Just beat a Volvo s60R
Just raced my buddies s60r and took the win by about a half car length . Gonna race again soon because we had to worry about traffic . Think I did pretty good considering I only have a ecu tune and the volvo's 0-60 is 5.5 seconds .

I think that's accurate.
Obv his R is stock?
I came from an S60 T5 and the one nice thing about those cars is, being turbocharged, you can coax out a massive HP/Torque gain merely by reprogramming the chip.
If he had modded his R, you don't stand a chance on a straighaway. In the twisties, though, even with the R's advanced suspension, I think you'd have him. No amount of suspension magic (as nice as it is) will in the end make up for that platform being engineered FWD with the weight distribution consequences that brings. At least, that's my guess
I've never actually put them h2h.
