I was just wondering what the 0-60 time is for an 89 rs is. I've never been able to find and accurate time. Thanks

there are too many variable to really quantify the question. if you want to know about your car take it to a track and find out.

I'm just looking for a general idea. Like what you'd see in a car and driver magazine. I know that actual time depends and a whole number of things.

I have been using this site: http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html

for times, but there is not 89 RS there. Thats all I'm looking for, something like that, not a bunch of bulls***.

Car: 1998 Volvo S70
Engine: B5254S Engine
Transmission: Automatic
Axle/Gears: It's a volvo?
they can probably run it in 7 seconds flat....which really isnt that bad.

On a good day mine runs it at about 6.5 seconds...someone actually told me they can do it in 6 seconds flat but I really dont think thats true...

With a few cheap mods though you could probably run it in mid to high 6s...

Thanks for the help. I'm just making a comparison between that and a car for my bro. He's now looking and he wants a car close to the same specs as mine.
