Kentucky Armory Club

300hp/300lb ft of torque. Bought it completely stock with 100k miles. Woman owned and always serviced at Volvo. All new suspension parts, motor mounts, fluids, 4 new BF Goodrich tires, factory HID headlights, heated/electric seats, electric fold down rear headrests, push button suspension modes (comfort, sport, advanced), leather everywhere, steering wheel radio controls...all the bells and whistles is what I'm saying.

I was looking for a Mustang initially but after driving to Cincinnati to look at one and finding tons of shit wrong with it, my wife went on the search for me. She knew I wanted a manual with 100k miles or less. Rather than search Mustangs she just left the make/model search function blank. This thing popped up. I almost told her no, until I realized she said the R model. Power and comfort in the same car.

Soon to come:
Window tint
Smoked tail lights
Downpipe
Borla muffler
Front mount intercooler
PCM tune
Fun times

Pics in just a few

Underhood shots maybe tomorrow when I have light. I took these right after I got it today.

Nice.

The AC works on it but my wifes doesn't on her S60, so it's likely I'll have to break out my AC machine soon. If I do I'll text you about having the caddy done too. I haven't forgot.

Nice pick up! I have liked these since they came out.

I bet parts for a Volvo cost a fortune.

Nice! Rode on one before, it's like floating

Cool car. It's fast but very unassuming. Cops won't bother stopping you....lol

I have had a couple Scandinavian tanks. Never had any of the newer cars. Always a 740. Loved them. The "R" models are pretty sweet. Nice looking ride PC.

What year?

We had a '99 S70 T5 years ago- that thing would scream!

Aaahhh hell...Went all adulthood on us. Proformence AND comfort...hahaha Really the only thing that has stopped me from building another foxbody Mustang, I want comfort also...haha Sweet ride man!

Yeah thats close to a mustang......

Really the only expensive thing on this car, seems to be the 4C active ride control (the struts). Looks like they are about $300-400 each. Before I bought it, I researched all the common items: alternator, starter, battery, wheel bearings, clutch, brakes, gaskets etc...

Mostly it's pretty comparable to a Toyota. I have a lot of experience with the Yotas for sure.

That's a definite plus. The guy next to me in the loud Camaro/mustang etc...will likely be stopped first haha. No one would ever look at this car and think, "that's fast". lol

I saw a red one today and thought about this thread.

Mine is the 2004 model.

My wife has the 2006 Volvo S60 T5. Automatic. It's quick with a modest 210hp.

LOL I have had my red mustang for almost two years. no tickets and I drive it everyday to work like I stole it...

back when I drove the 4 door white honda accord the same way, I would get at least a ticket every year...

Got my tail lights smoked today.

HID lights are a nice touch. I like it.

Duh, that's because they know they couldn't catch up with you in the Mustang but the Honda didn't stand a chance in hell

But seriously, I don't doubt you. I'm just supposing that an officer was searching for two cars that were last seen "racing nearby", pulls around the corner and spots a Volvo and Mustang...I have money that says you're getting stopped before I'm ever suspected. Unless of course we're both just flat caught in the act. Then it's curtains for both of us. That being said, keep racing off the streets and on the track boys and girls. Safety first.

Oh and disregard my trash talk about the "loud Mustang/Camaro beside me" because I wanted to be that loud guy lol. I was just pointing out the lower likelihood of me being noticed.
