was heading home today and passed a red volvo wagon with ferrari stickers on the fenders and 650R on the back... euro plate in the back window that said "FLKNZRICE". clean looking car. a while later he came up behind me and gunned it to pass me. i went to third and put it to the boards as his front end was near my quarter but he was already clipping pretty good. he pulled 2 cars on me until about 160 then i started to real him in and was almost caught up to him when we had to slow for traffic. i wasn't watching the speedo but we were flying. we gave each other a smile and went on our way. here are some pictures i snapped of it. pretty quick car but i was a bit faster wish i could have talked to him to see what he had under the hood!

he had two car's on you till 160 then you pulled on him? How is that possible to even go past 160? and since he had two car's on you you still say your quicker? you must mean km's

jsscooby

yup he is KMH

canadian bud hence the flag on the post. as i stated in the post he had the jump on me. the fact that i caught up to him says that chances are from an even pull i would beat him.

I don't know what a *650R* is?? I looked up V50..around 220ish HP. Your car should have creamed him..unless it's something *special*. They must weigh over 3500lbs??

Cobalt_Daddy

dunno but it scooted pretty good when he first got on it. It's a safe bet it's custom because not too many volvos have ferrari stickers on the front fenders either nevermind the 650R lettering on the back lol

V50R is likely. those are volvos "fast" wagons. same engine as the C30, turbo 2.5L i5. i thought they had a 300hp version at one time

Cobalt_Daddy

could be a V but im sure it said 6 .. hell even in the picture when i blow it up it doesn't look like a V shape .. but you might be right.

Just fyi, those cars easily run mid 13's with little mods. Don't be ashamed about being given a run for your money by one.

I think i've seen that same one. It drives by my house often, i think it frequents a house up the road from mine.

Cobalt_Daddy

lol not ashamed at all... in fact when he was pulling away when i first got on it i was impressed and knew it wasn't a normal volvo wagon .. hell i could tell that the first time i went passed it... doubtful someone would put ferrari badges and an antirice plate on a car if it wasn't somewhat fast. but again i was able to catch up to him even after he had a bit of a head start... wouldn't mind talking to the guy to see what else he has done to it if anything. i wonder if he was suprised when i started to get bigger in his rear view mirror though. he passed me pretty aggresively so he may have known what was up with my car.

HAHA !!

Ferrari sticker on a Volvo is like if I would put TYPE-R beside my SS sign ..

Sweet Volvo!!! I had an 850 wagon back in the day. First car, from the parents, you know safety and such. The T5-R was beastly. The 850r or T5-R runs low boost, like right at ten lbs, but I don't 100% remember. The 650r is the 240 hp (auto) 250 hp (manual) turbo and intercooled 2.3l I-5 motor. Plus Volvo's run FOREVER. Good one OP. Those can get fast for a streetable aircraft carrier. They are HEAVY. They were the fastest wagons on earth until the srt-8 magnum.

Cobalt_Daddy

well to be fair volvo and ferrari are both at least european and type R and domestic isn't a comparison.

i doubt they were mods to look cool... and given how fast it was it deserves a ferrari badge for those ricers who laugh when a bright red volvo with ferrari badges blows their doors off. im 99% sure it said 650R and also had the antirice place which again would be another mod for laughs with a hidden message in it. there was nothing serious about the car except its performance and clean look.

Closest thing I could find is this modded V50 with 276 HP..3400 Lbs:

Now THIS Volvo Wagon would have killed your ass!
650 HP

RyRidesMotox

To my knowledge there wasn't a 650... And that is definitely a 850 turbo in the original post, you are right OP very clean. I had the exact same car but non turbo. Those wheels are stock on the turbo. Its a cool car man I kinda wish I had kept it.

i saw a video of one racing a 800whp supra. the supra walked away, but it didnt pull hard..

Kahless

well kinda. you could always order the M5 and multiple AMG models and audi RS models with a wagon. most people just didnt. and then of course there was the wrx wagon, and now the cts v wagon.

RyRidesMotox

You couldn't get the Audi, MB, or Bimmer wagons in North America when the T5-r wagon was out. So I see your point, not arguing that the cars you listed are fast but not even the M5 Wagon was as fast as a T5-r Volvo wagon. The U.S. M5s in the 90s used a 3.5, not he 3.8 or 3.6 like the euro models. Motor trend raced them and thats what they said. MT knows a thing or two about cars. The T5-r wagon was a sub 6 second 0-60 car and its 1/4 mile of 14.8 stock is almost as fast as ours stock for stock. So what I said is technically true.

Edit: Sorry that 0-60 of 5.7 is for the sedan the wagon is 6.5 or so. Still very fast for a wagon.

Kahless

how long ago was that? i thought you could get the last gen 400hp m5s in a wagon here. my dad recently bought a 04 volvo wagon for 3k and its in damn good shape. runs nice, nothing wrong with the body or interior at all. some dude on craiglist was unloading it so his wife couldnt take it in the divorce.

Cobalt_Daddy

The 850 T-5R was the fastest automatic transmission automobile at the time, until the 1997 Corvette automatic later topped the Volvo's 0-60 mph time. It was the fastest sedan available in terms of 0-60 mph and 1/4-mile times and top speed until the German automakers began the famous horsepower wars that continue to this day.

must have been this with some exterior mods.

RyRidesMotox

As far as I know you couldn't get the wagons in AMG or M class stuff until 1998. I think thats right anyways. The T5-r was already phased out by then pretty much. There was a commercial when my parents bought the 96 850 new, It showed a bimmer front end. Then it said "The ultimate driving machine... outdone by a Volvo??? WAGON!?!?!?" That was good ****. Could find the commercial after searching but it was good.

Yea I was going to say something like that but I figured someone would start up the Volvo fanboi flamethrower. Can someone even be a Volvo fanboi? I don't even know.

Gyrocon

haha there are fanboi's for everything else out there that have wheels, so why not volvos? and speaking of volvo's, I do like the S60R! pretty cool for what it is! and like another member said, they go forever!
