Dude I miss mine. Thing would pull, I’d say it was a sleeper. Was it terrifying to drive at 120+ mph? You bet. The thing just floated along like a front wheel drive cloud on morphine. The suspension wasn’t performance oriented in the slightest. The transmissions were made of glass so I’ve heard, but there was a dude you could send them to that would upgrade them. Never did, but I thought that was neat. Drove it until about 170k miles before a ball joint just randomly fucking snapped while driving. It was a $2,000 luxurious, quick, turd. And I loved it.

Transmission doesn't handle the torque unfortunately, if you remap these cars be sure to have a few transmissions on your hand, because you're gonna replace them on a regular basis.

I want an S80 t6. Same set up, just lighter. Have an 04 xc90 t6 that weighs almost 4700 lbs and still takes the F off lol. Just added new vacuum hoses, no engine cover, k&n panel filter, 93 octane, and new AT shift knob. Thing is very fun to drive for the hp/tq it puts out. Climbs hills like a champ. Recently tried pennzoil high mileage full syn 5w-30( first time with full syn), she's lovin' it. So smooth/responsive, engine sounds meaner. Bought mine less than 2 years ago and put 23k on it so far. 112k when bought, 135k now. If you put good fuel in, good high heat oil, keep airflow as cool as possible under the hood, even tire psi, you'll get 25-30mpg or over easy on flat(ish) open roads. I wouldn't use cheap gas in these if you drive one. These engines are happy as hell on 91 or higher (in US). Used to have a 00 v40 turbo (4cyl) also. Went 130mph and didnt skip a beat. I love driving any volvo. You know the feeling!

I just drove a neighbor's '04 xc90 t6 that he's selling, well maintained. My '04 Navigator got t-boned and the check would cover the volvo with some change. I miss the power of the 32v 5.4 but that navigator weighted over 6k pounds with 32" mud tires. The Volvo seemed weak when I hit the pedal but I'm still going to buy it for my wife and child. Is there a tune to pep it up a little? Never would have guessed it had turbos driving it but we do love passing out of towners on the regular so If I could open it up for cheap (and also we don't have emissions regulations where I reside so all my cars are catless) that would be awesome!
