200km/h on the autobahn 2.0 Ghia X mondeo 130.
These things aren't exactly built for speed, couldnt get it above that unfortunatly.
Going again on the Rally this year, except in the e39, hopefully will be able to go much faster![]()

Dangerous Dave said:The S80 is a T6 which is a 2.9 twin turbo I've been in a standard one with it clean off the speedo. I have however never seen the Police use these as they are big old cars to chuck about and they all come was a lazy 4 speed auto box. However a S60 T5 remapped would be capable of over a true 160mph and most if not all the Police traffic volvos are remapped, I've seen them use the local Shell garage here where I made a comment of them using v power over normal 95ron to what the reply was its needed for the remap !

Myself:
Driver - 135mph (Vectra SRi 150)
