If you want more info I can ask him > and come up with a list of parts that make 320 hp S70R. There is no way in hell any Volvo is faster than a BMW 540i Sport, and it DEFINITELY isn't faster than the new M5. Both of these cars will grind into a pulp an S70R, 320hp or not. The FWD alone is a massive limitation on being able to even use 320hp... my SHO with a measly 220hp sometimes has trouble hooking up. It's fine if you're going to dump your 9-5 for a Volvo... but please stopping making ridiculous claims based on sketchy facts. -Justin
