Is a Volvo C70 convertible fast?

Last night, in the highway, I was crusing at normal speed at 110 km/h (70 mph). There was this Volvo Convertible with his top down in front of me. At 70 mph, I was 2 or 3 car lentgh behind him when he I think he step on it. I did the same. I thought I was going to catch him up and pass by him. NO. We step on it until I saw on the speedometer...190 km/h (120mph aprox). And I was still 2 car lentgh behind him.

My question : Are they really that fast those C70 convertible?

Reading your post I think you already found out the answer, The turbo C70's are pretty damn fast. The non turbos are another story.

After reading the review, there is actually 2 kind of turbos: LPT and HPT, I think I was with the HPT.
