what would be the result if volvo c70 GST 2.4 and a CTR in a straight race..

i know the CTR would beat if off the line but.

the Volvo would get its pants pulled down.

i dont mean the new one im talking about the old one which can do 0-60 in 7.2 according to my stopwatch

What are the 0-100 times of each respective car?

In a straight line drag race with evenly matched drivers it's basically just the acceleration figures that matter (assuming both have decent tyres with plently of tread, etc)

i think the volvo would win eventually as its limited to 155 and CTR top speed is 148 if im not mistaken

Might be a corner before it reaches that speed though.

1) Your stopwatch is useless, margin of error far too high. 2.4CGT official figure is 7.6 seconds. It also does 143 max not 155.

2) It is a big lardy Volvo Coupe. The Civic Type R is a small, tight hot hatch.

3) Given equal drivers, you would lose.

Id say the volvo would loose, loose by a lot.

I know fox said that the CTR was a tight hot hatch. That doesn't instantly mean the volvo is loose though

If it was the 2.3 T5 it would be close, but in this i think it would be the CTR
