It’s 400 ballpark with prob 450 tq. For a heavy bitch it moves. I beat all the old ladies to the grocery store and winter with some good winter rubber is a blast.

This pretty much went as I expected. Volvo T6 with AWD beats it off the line and then Volvo's weight comes into play allowing the Type R to catch up/pass. Rolling start the Volvo has no shot. Due to all the weight, I think this would be more evenly matched if the V60 T6 had the Polestar upgrade. $1,295 from dealer addon that bumps the T6 from 316hp/295tq to 330hp/325tq.

Manual shifting only gains you hp in a rev range that your torque has already started to drop off in . And that Civic owner needs to start utilising his E brake to load up the driveline on launch. Stiffer springs in the rear would help to .

It's not the delay in torque its physics. Weight is transferred to the back during launch.

The 1980s -90s Volvos are still driving today, surprisingly but these so called 4 bangers had enough engineering put into them that Volvo really never had to redesign the engine too much, they basically use the same motor with upgrades year after year the same way Soviet Lada did and modern Russian VAZ , the same engine, different heads, different electronics.
