Need for Speed Volvo
« on: 15 August 2005, 04:26 »
Ok my boss at work has a 360bhp volvo 850, 5 cylinder 2.3 turbo with launch control, and basically he rinses my golf and all other golfs and says they are slow, so i had to stand up for us and tell him that someday i will destroy his car in a race, and that i would do it in a mk2 golf, is this going to be possible???
Its one of those "maybe i should have kept my mouth shut" moments

1.8 20Valve turbo in a race prepped and stripped Mk2 golf should have him, A turbo tune and a few other bits and pieces will raise the 220BHP Cupra R motor to around the 290BHP mark, After that a 100HP wet shot of nitrous will give you the extra punt to out-do him on the straight, while some 16X9 inch deep dish rims with the right tires and some big ol G60 arches to take the wider stance will ensure you a nice launch, after that your gonna need some vented disks and kevlar brake pads to slow you into teh corners and some £700 FK adjustable coilovers to ensure that your able to make it into the bends faster....

all that should set you back around £10,000 and as a Mk2 will cost around £1,500 new you will have a £11,500 Car that can eat most cars that range from £20,000 new right up to £60,000  :wink:

Suger in his petrol tank? Tieing the rear axel to a lamp post with a metal chain? Letting his tires down on the start finish line?  :wink:
