There's no contest here. It's a no brainer. Some ignoramus will push or drag you into what you don't want. It's better to ignore them. No be every rain wey fall dey gather flood.

If you want to race, look for an IS350 or a GS350 & have a go at it. Come back with feedback.

Multiple BMW drivers are looking for who to race with. I saw a C43 yesterday & apparently, they guy wanted a race but I guess capable cars are on vacation.
That Volvo S60 R design will totally destroy those cars tbh.

@OP, let me just say, its great to see someone who is taking solid care of his rides and documenting meticulously. The way you take care of your car is the way I hope to be able to take care of mine in the near future, but till then, I'm having a lot of fun reading and learning.

Wonder if my 05 avalon can give the rx a good race. grin grin

@Kingreign, I hail o!

I'm glad you enjoyed the discussions and timelines grin grin grin

The 05 Avalon, on paper would definitely win this very RX, however, that very Avalon has aged a bit but a healthy one will definitely outrun this RX.
After using the Volvo, I now have a little idea of what a sports car should look like, I can't even race a corolla with the RX again, it is very slow embarassed embarassed embarassed However, what the RX lacks in agility, it makes up for it with comfort and reliability.

Wow! This is outstanding. Then no match whatsoever. Is it turbo or NA engine?

Turbo of course

I believe it's a 6cyl turbo. That's some mad man on a steroid. It would be nice to have.

Decided to downgrade my tyre from 265/50/20 to 245/50/20. Also swapped my spare for another spare with recent manufactured year (2025), I'm tired of road safety harassing me anytime I travel grin grin grin grin

It definitely punches above its weight, however it is still not a match or even close to M package or AMG, they'd smoke it properly grin grin grin

Not entirely true, except in bad weather or something,the S60 t6(i assume) won't totally destroy the Is350,its a drivers race.

Since you are countering the statement, can you follow it up with figures? You are not entirely wrong if the race is here in naija cause running these turbo engines on our useless fuel will severely affect the performance (the volvo requires premium 91 octane fuel), however, the odds are also severely stacked against the is350.

For nearly the same weight, the s60 has far more torque at lower rpm, more horses, and don't get me started with handling

Don't go and play rough play, I know that car very well, as a matter of fact, I use to look down on Volvo till I drove it. It's a proper sleeper, it's faster and tighter than an IS350. Take this from me (a huge Lexus fan).

Lol... funny enough, I'm also a huge Volvo fan. Many look down on Volvo cus of the 240's boxy looks and its workhorse activities in Nigeria.

Volvo always go gaga,like putting a Yamaha v8 in their Sedan, Using Twin charged in a 2.0L engine,so am not surprised by their torque/Hp figures,check out the Xc60 too, insane!

What I'm saying is that the IS350 especially the 2006 is a jet(i think 0-60- 5.0-5.5 ish),i have seen guys destroy Benz C350's and E350's with that car,the engine is so furious.

Edit: I just saw you stating that its an R-design,its actually faster than the Lexus.

R-design right? One thing i love about Volvo is low- mid range insane turbo torque. That said,i have always wondered how the s60 t6 will fair against that Is350.

Fascinating! You my friend is already 90% faster than everyone on our road.

You'll only face stiff competition from -AMG's/// as i hardly see M//,ISF and RS///.

Very correct, I haven't lost any normal race since I got the car, but I won't bother racing those performance Germans grin grin grin
