1990 Trans Am Vs 1997 Volvo 850 T5

whoa! yet another what if!

this one is against my father,

he owns a Volvo 850 T5, 1997.

pretty much totally stock, but the big point here is that it is not an R, which has more turbo pressure and a more aggressive ECU. FWD, with a highly skilled driver, and a auto transmission.



my car is the usual 1990 T/A with more information in the side. I'm a pretty good driver, though not sure if I'm better then him.

this should be a close one, especially since these cars are close in HP. and sort of age.

who'd win? does my extra 3 cylinders give me an advantage?

dont be afraid to race anything. most a-holes cant drive thier stick shift sports cars so if you tree hard you can run with alot of newer cars to about 80mph. youl be suprised what you can beat.
