New Volvo C70

[Mr645]

Just got one of these for my wife. Any ideas on some forums for solid info? I'm not finding much on performance tuning for the latest Volvo's either. The 227hp 5 cyl is borderline acceptable for power but since it's turbo charged I figure adding 30 hp should not be tough.

Thanks All.

I had a 2000 C70 and the forum I belonged to for that has since been shut down. Try SwedeSpeed or something like that. It's not really an "enthusiast" vehicle so you'll be hard pressed to find the tuner fan base.

Had the opportunity to drive one of these for a week, the car is slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was it the T5?

c30world.com - same engine so same tuning I'd presume.

Thanks guys. The T5, 227 hp is ok, but sluggish. As a turbo I am hoping that another 30 or 40 HP is easily at tap with some tuning. The car uses 87 octane at the 227 hp level, so......

Nice, but in my opinion the Swedish are only good for producing females.

What about meatballs?

Yeah, it was the t5. Brand new with like 1000 miles on it. Its really sluggish. For 40 grand there are better alternatives.
