    Yeah rattles like a mofaka too, i even seen where the #### radio cracked in half from that #### dash rattling so dang much, you will not see a 1980's KW or Pete like that, 0 rattles, again real truck.... And them gauges are so accurate it aint even funny, especially the boost and pyro, pushing 30psi boost and the dang thing starts to move 1 minute later hahaha, not to mention you need a #### owners manual for each dang switch with the gay ### pictures instead of spelled out words. You got some switch with a (!) LMAO wtf is that????

    You mean Coke(r) or Coke...
    In fact the price for Coke has gone down recently... see them americans governments are busy fighting the Heroin producers in Mid-East.
    Now I reckon your wise enough to not go further on the matter :glasses4:...
    But yes I believe you still can Rooster cruise still and earn a good standard of living.
    I just takes some good o´le hotrodding...

    LOL...


    But on a "serious note"..another LOL on this thread... this is all about Hotrodding it seems... and Volvos are "riught up there" in the current Musclewar in Europe.
    Mule sure you can run # 120 with a Volvo D16 equipped whatever..just bypass the speed regulator and put some high gearing Remember its an OHC engine so it can also take RPM if needed.
    I think 2300ftlbs all the way from 1100rpms stock is enough to do it, and 660hp.
    If not "Bang it on the head"....
    Any over 600hp and 2000ftlbs truck can do that...

    Agreed, BUT I don´t like 4wheel BMW´s either..although they are touted to be one of the best in driving feedback and ergonomics.
    And I Hate 4wheel Volvos and ain´t a Largecar Volvo fan either... but you have to give some credit for them. They have their good points too and guess some have figured them out too.
