Swedish ricer?

There's a company that makes kits to mount a 5 cylinder turbo Volvo engine in the P1800......... To me that would be the ultimate "canyon carver"!

It's just a waste of fried rubber...

Agreed.

Drifting a car in the process of getting through a turn as quickly as humanly possible in a race is one thing.

Smoking the tires while going in silly circles is something else entirely.

I wish there was more that could be done to tweak the 2.5T 5-cylinder. Wifey has an XC90, and there is really nothing to tune it with. No performance upgrades, no really suspension upgrades to speak of. I can't leave things stock, so this thing bugs me.

Yeah, lots of cool stuff there, but not for a 2006.

Wifey thinks a prancing moose is stupid, but she can't be bothered to peel it off.

Have you looked at volvo,s own performance upgrade?
Its called polestar and because it is Volvo that made it all warranty's (if there still are any) will be valid
It is avaliable from year 2005 and up on XC90

You should buy 2 of these and put it on the front fenders to match the grille emblem?

In the same sense that stomping on the gas in a straight line is not racing.

Yeah, I find that annoying also... Take it to the track!....

Do a search on drifting on the I-94 freeway here in Detroit... Those guys should have got 15 or better in the State Pen...
