Oh yeah, those Volvos are quick. Thats why the UK police love them.
I remember about 6 months ago I was sat at about 80 on the motorway and a
Porsche 911 flies past at about 120-130, about 2 seconds later a police T5
pulls out from about 5 cars back, floors it and catches up with the guy in
seconds.
Would be nice to see if they can catch an E46 M3 though!

I have hit 180km/h - 113mph in my 2.0l 16v and it has crappy pull from then
on, would take forever for me to get to 130mph. I have hit 220km/h in my
dads 850 turbo volvo, now that thing is powerful, took a friend for a drive
in it and he is thinking of getting a volvo as his next vehicle.
