2006 Acura TL vs. 2006 Volvo s40

Was having a friendly argument with a friend of mine. Do you guys think a

2006 Volvo s40 1.8 M/T (non-turbo) would beat a 2006 Acura TL 3.2 A/T ???

Thanks for any input.

a 1.8 non turbo probably has no power. even off the line u should be able to pull a few car lengths

there is no 1.8 model. It's either 2.4i or T5 version.

2.4i

168 HP, 170 lb-ft@4400 RPM
3234 lbs. Curb Weight

T5 Both FWD & AWD

218 HP, 236 lb-ft@4800 RPM
3287 lbs. (FWD) & 3481 lbs. (AWD) Curb Weight.

If anything, I'd say the T5 FWD would be the only one giving u a good run. It'll be a lil slower..but you just can't underestimate it...just like any other car out there.
