If I'm not mistaken, 0-60 is around 6-6.5 sec. It depends which magazine test you look at. As for the R, it adds at least 10HP
. Actually, it doesn't stand for anything, cosmetic.

the R is just a sticker. no meaning whatsoever.

as for your 0-60 times.. the magazines start 6.5 sometimes less. this is TRUE... BUT.. average drivers will only get at best 7.2 or higher. this is because these magazines have people testing them that have done the launches MILLIONS of times. they know what they are dooing. it goes to show that the driver behind the wheel DOES mean a lot at the track.

if you have a LPT (low pressure turbo) expect 8.2-8.6 secs

heheh yeah when people like us here know that there is no such thing
hehehe

i wonder if you can market your car and the mods.. and sell it as the Kai edition of the c70.
kinda like lingenfelter or calloway.

Hey, not to start another wagon vs. "couppies/cabbies" war here but only the V70s have the privilege of the "R" distinction (OK, a few S70s too)...hehehe!

Actually, I see something more along the lines of wracking up another post


Just kidding, I mean... I just don't think I would ever spend money on modifying a wagon, PERSONALLY, of course I can see other people doing it because they need the space, and like the speed... more power to them! literally... cuz more power's needed
