The Volvo 850 R is arguably one of the fastest sports sedans on the road. With 240 horsepower, it will leave most sports sedans sitting still. In fact, the 850 R will out run most common rice sports cars on the road. With a 0-60 time of 6.61 seconds (measured with my G-tech). The R is a force to be reckoned with!

Our R is black with black alcantara (suede) and leather. The rims are still the limited issue 16" 5 spoke Persus, unfortunately not the factory 17" volans or titans which come in anthracite- another wish list item (drool). One day I plan to make upgrades with the Stage 3 ECU upgrade and dual sport exhaust from Engstrom Motorsport located in Lisle, IL
and bump up the BHP output to over 300!

At the moment, the only modifications to my car that I have is replacement of the stock air filter to a K&N high flow filter.

I used the paint cleaning clay from Griot's Garage for the first time and applied two coats of carnauba wax.

The paint feels like glass, highly recommended if you have lots of time.
As soon as I get some time I will detail the interior and add more pictures. In the mean time- enjoy and please sign my guestbook...

Hi my friend! It's been a little while since last time. I've been a little bit to busy with all the stuff around finishing school and so... It hasn't been too much, but close. But now I'm done with school and I'm working at my old job. I'm looking for new jobs on the Internet. I've found a few interessting ones, but they're a very hard to get. I will continue looking 'til I got a good job. I can't stay at my current work too long. The best would be only work there the summer out. They have too many people working there right now, so that's why I can't stay. I've said I'm looking for another job, so I'm the first/second to go. Anyway! I've got some news for you about my car. I've bought an R and I've put that in the grill. Also bought "S70R" and put that on the trunk/back. See the pictures, they show how good it looks! I've also bought a new navigator (Navman), so now I finally find myself home ;-) And one final thing to say. My girlfriend is the best. She bought me a watch, and not any watch. It's a Volvo-watch with the blue background like on the meters from the new V70R/S60R. It says "R" right under 12. Looks great! It also says "Volvo for life" on it. How about that? =)

Hey man! You decide on what wheels to get yet? On your car, Bright Silver Pegasus would look savage :D Volans are awesome wheels too, but I think they would blend in too much on your black R. Too bad you are going to miss the meet on Sunday, but at least there will be next month, and the month after that, and so on. Practically any Friday would work for me, since I don't work or have school on Friday's. Today, I am just going to tune my susnension (Koni Rears need to be removed to adjust them), but other then that, I have nothing planned. Post some more pictures of your car, show it off! =D
