240, needs a little bit of spacing on those wheels and it would be hot....for a brick that is.

body is perfect....not a scratch or dent on any of the panels....it's a fresh paint job within the last year but the thing is clean as hell...turbo inline 6, catback exaust, lowered, tinted windows, 2 tone paint, all the chrome is perfect, polished bbs meshies and the interior was perfect with a sparco racing steering wheel

that thing is badass! def +1 for that. I didn't know there was a volvo "tuning shop" here in NC. If you talk to him again ask him for details.

That old 240 with the right suspension setup is a track beast! I was at Willow Springs about 6 months ago and there was a 240 with 250ish whp that had the fastest lap times of the day. This included and instructors RX7, sti's and evo's. This car is a beast.

Everyone has volvo jokes and I have seen alot of sti's/evos, M3's, mustakes, cameros, a couple supras etc with pretty bad hurt feelings due to one volvo in particular.

(I am not saying that I can beat "ALL" mentioned cars with any amoutn of mods, but I have won races against all of these with them being modded to some degree. I am not undefeated or anything like that, lol.)
