Irv Gordon is the guy who drove his 1966 (?) P1800 to over 2 MILLION miles. He was all ovr the news a couple weeks back when it rolled over 2 million. He was on Jay Leno and everything.quote:

WHat is cool Volvo? A "V"AGON! It's got way much more room, it can be AWD, it also comes in a manual, are as quick or quicker than the "coupie" (and definitely quicker than a "cabbie") and...looks cooler having a wagon beat another wannabe than in a "sleek" C70...HeeHeeHeeHee!!!

Carl
2000 C70 HPT coupe
95 850 T5 Wagon, roomy, fast <----- lol
Thats my point. The Vagon has what 11 more hp and all that extra sheetmetal and other stuff too. I havent lined up against one yet, but I would love too. I saw a silver V70 yesterday with the Comet wheels that came on my C70 before I swapped them for chromed Canistos. It looked pretty cool for a Vagon.quote:

So what you are trying to say is that the V70R AWD is faster than the C70. Hmm dont know about that has maybe more HP but it is also a heavier car.
WHAT???????? Who brought the R in the picture? Even an R wagon has a curb weight of about 3400 lbs...the "couppie" is about 3200 lbs and the "cabbie" is more than 3400 lbs. That should be interesting...an auto C70 vs. an R. Of course, if it is a 2000 R then forget it...done deal! But let's compare apples to apples. A 2001/2002 V70 T5 has a curb weight of 3230 lbs vs. the almost similar curb weight of the "grouppie"...236 HP vs. 247??? And if we compare LPT models...190 HP vs. 197 (and torque for the C70 is at 199 vs. 210 of the Vagon!)? I would really love to see that!quote:
