Yeah I know what your thinking..... How and Why would someone want to make a 13 second Volvo???
It's the reaction we get all the time. We own a 1998 Volvo S70 2.3L 5 cylinder engine. It's a 4 door sedan and doesn't look fast - at all!! So, there is a little enjoyment from that... To see the look on people's faces as you go screaming past them! lol. But in all seriousness lets look a little closer at the "how" and "why"
First - The Why???
Volvo has been making cars since 1927 and have owned their own accident research team since 1970. They invented the first 3-point safety belt system in 1959 and were the first to produce the side impact protection system (sips). They are the leaders in safety with a 5 star crash rating for front and side impacts. They're stylish and fresh.
I should also add that in spite of all this, they are expensive to buy and maintain but worth every penny. You'll ride in style and comfort with all the latest technology available.
On that note.... The How???
Here's the list..... The list of some of the modifications made on our Volvo.
- 18T Mitsubishi High Pressure Turbo (16-22Psi Boost)
3" Stainless Eurosport Tuning Exhaust from the Turbo back- Silicone Vacuum Lines
- Forge Manual Boost Controller
- AEM Progressive Lowering Springs
- HID Conversion
- Rica Tuned
- P205/50R16 Maragoni Verso Tires
Of course, there were a few extras and a few things on our to do list but it gives you an idea of what we did.
