Default Volvo 850 Turbo with some traction problems

http://hem.bredband.net/b285183/over...rloaded850.mpg

Looks like a little too much power for this fwd car.

Unfortunately no specs, but if he manages to get some traction I also believe it to be a very fast car. The original 850 Turbo has 225Bhp and they are known for being quite easy to tune well over 350Bhp. My guess would be that this car has even more.

It may very well be 850-TR which had something like 280 hp or ever 850 R which had something 300+ hp

T5-R = 240Bhp and R = 250Bhp

After riding with my dad when he tested an 850 T a while ago, i think its safe for me to say that the car in this particular instance has gotta have about double the standard BHP!!!! That thing is mental!! He must spend a fuck load of money on tyres!! lol :shock:

FWD + High power Output = Pointless
