Kill this!
I never do 1/4 mile and even then it sux 
My guessing is high 14's or low 15's but the car is heavy.
All the winning Volvo's I have seen do the job on the last part because this is where their strength is.
The Volvo isn't made for the 1/4 mile, maybe the new 300HP R AWD is born to do that.
Volvo says it should do 0-60 around 5 seconds but it still takes a year before the car comes to market.
My car starts really starts going around 60 and after that a lot of cars are left behind.
I think I did around 5.5-6 seconds 0-60 once but I can't get the power to the ground in a good fashion, around 5000 RPM it just starts spinning in 2nd gear.
I use Bridgestone 235/40-18 on my car.

1/4 mile time..
Johann,
My cousin just ran a 14.3 second for his 850. Not the best time we expected, but fair enough for first time on the track. That car needs serious tuning to get it back to shape.
If he didn't get all the silly wheel spins, I think high 13s is not impossible.
Funny to see the expression of the owner of the Cobra R that raced him when a Volvo did a burn out before the race. The Cobra R miss a shift or something only did a high 14s.
