Mike RenautJan 23, 2013 ...know it but these old wagons are well balanced decent handling cars.
Mike RenautJan 23, 2013 Odd conversation here regarding wheelspins and drifting. My tired 240 wagon bone stock and misfiring probably put out 70bhp but would spin its tyres and slide around very controllably on wet corners. Okay that's not really drifting like you guys...
Lou GuerreroJan 22, 2013 An '02 S4 does 60 in over 5 seconds. Hopefully that clears things up.
Colby ChurchJan 22, 2013 Considering even the early Charger SRT8s with 425 hp only achieved it in 5.5 due to their mass/weight.
Colby ChurchJan 22, 2013 @Wyatt If that Audi has 250hp and is all wheel drive, I would say its definitely pretty quick, but maybe you should research 0-60 times a little more. I wouldn't say it's improbable for it to have, say, a 5.5 0-60. That's seems more appropriate.
Reid HuffJan 21, 2013 SAAB just came out with a new badge and they will be producing cars again at the end of August.
Derrick McCarthyJan 21, 2013 Why is that hard to believe? The car probly weighs 2500 pounds or less and depending on gearing that's not crazy. I mean unless I'm missing Somthing.
Jörgen NilssonJan 21, 2013 250 hp and 0-60 in 4,2 sec? Yeah right. Grow up.
David ParentiJan 21, 2013 Motortrend has the same article, but they do not give HP numbers. They say "these engines are capable of 1000hp".
David ParentiJan 21, 2013 Leading you to believe that 276hp in a Volvo station wagon will make it drift. The engine in that Volvo is probably pushing 370-400 hp and the crank. Easy to get those numbers from that engine. Especially with the big turbos in the picture.
David ParentiJan 21, 2013 Is leading you to believe. The real culprit here is the misleading article. Maybe not misleading, but mid informed. Of course the motor is not stock, but they gave the stock numbers on the motor in the article.
David ParentiJan 21, 2013 @ Jordan, pretty much every fwd car can spin tires, with a ripped e-brake. Some of you are missing the point, I didn't mean whether or not this car can do a burnout. I meant spinning a tire into a turn to do a drift. Takes more hp than the article
Carlton SalmonJan 21, 2013 The UK Supras came with 326 bhp stock.
Jonathan GushueJan 21, 2013 Yep a geo could light the tires up. Wonder how many know what they are talking about...
Jordan SmithJan 21, 2013 Hell I can spin the tires on my Jetta and that's only 170 horsepower.
Braxton Omgbased BookerJan 21, 2013 Cant believe how sum people cant use context clues of course its got more than 276hp you can see they ditched the stock twins for a big single turbo
Robby N Raquel StanleyJan 21, 2013 Bwahaha. 320 barely spins the tires. Lmao. My car make a little more then 320 and it lights tires up on command. Volvo 240 wagons weigh around 3100 lbs. that's not that heavy. But yes I agree this engines not stock, but if it was.. Still a sleeper
David ParentiJan 21, 2013 @lou, I agree. I think the article is wrong on the power output. I think they just used the stock configuration numbers.
David ParentiJan 21, 2013 @wyatt, and my Schwinn does 0-60 in 3 seconds.
Wyatt GordonJan 21, 2013 David, not true. My Mom has a 2004 Twin-Turbo (2.7) Audi Allroad with 250 HP, that does 0-60 in like 4.2, and Ive gotten it up to 125 no problem.
Lou GuerreroJan 21, 2013 I'm almost certain this motor has been massaged to make more power. That's a big turbo in the cover pic.
David ParentiJan 21, 2013 Still could use more power, even 320 is barely enough to spin a tire on a station wagon.
Matt PiccoloJan 21, 2013 @ Robby, you beat me to it! The Japan spec supra's were rated at 276 due to the agreement, while the U.S spec supra's were rated at 320hp
Robby N Raquel StanleyJan 21, 2013 The 276 rating was the result of a gentleman s agreement between the car makers at that time to prevent any unwanted attention on making cars to "powerful".
Robby N Raquel StanleyJan 21, 2013 You do realize that all of the high end Japanese cars from that era were rated at 276hp. And that number was always under rated, most supras would put at least 276 hp to the wheels. We're talking well over 300+ hp at the crank. Bone stock
David ParentiJan 21, 2013 276 hp, That's it? Most cars come from factory with more than that. It's a station wagon, going to need a lot more than 276 horses to make it a sleeper. Needs more like 400
Austin WhitenerJan 21, 2013 Omg any one else see that exsusght pipe out the front
Victor PittsJan 21, 2013 This picture is chock full of win.
Lou GuerreroJan 21, 2013 My man. Go tear shit up, sir.

Paul HyattJan 22, 2013 Agreed at least 400 hp , that things insane
Colby ChurchJan 22, 2013 It definitely has more than 275hp if it's fast enough to beat another Supra while he has like 10 people in the car. Lol (exaggerating)
Bill Estep JrJan 22, 2013 Omg the blow off on them turbos awesome
Tino DomingueJan 21, 2013 Kickinβ in the front seat, sittinβ in the back seat. Gotta make my mind up, which seat can I take? (Don't hate cuz I found resist myself )
David calm yourself.
