From what I remember when I looked into NASCAR engines the block and the heads are the only thing that are required to be “stock” and are bought from the respective OEMs. The actual teams build their own engines after that. Hence how they're able to squeeze 900+ hp from a NA engine.

Don't listen to these Non-Floridians. Florida is a great place for car lover. Especially the nicer (richer) west coast. Plus we don't have annual inspections or emission laws!

What car are you driving that's turning 4k+ in 5th? Not even Toyotas ancient 4 speed does that.

Except this article is talking about an Outback and not the XV. An XV with these mods would get terrible gas mileage with that weak engine.

Agreed on saving up for one. Once I have the money and space for a second vehicle that vehicle will be a Jeep Wrangler. I need something to tinker with on the weekends because the Volvo ain't cutting it.

Seriously, what the fuck people? I love America as a place but I hate a lot of people that call this great place home. As Dwight Schrute once said, “We need a new plague”.

Volvo S60 Polestar. I’m kinda bias now since I own an R Design and wish I had held out for a Polestar. But it’s a great balanced mix of a car you can throw around the track on the weekend and then turn heads with in Monday morning traffic.

No it was from what I recall (that only being seeing the R on Top Gear). It's a good size though. Definitely a car I'll have no problem hooning my future children around in.

You've clearly never driven an R Design...

The S60 is classified as midsize but I'd put it as a compact midsize. It looks smaller than it feels though.

Yea hopefully it'll be available wherever I get stationed next. But it's great to finally see a crossover between here and forums.

Holy shit dude I’ve seen your dad’s car on swedespeed! I actually gave him a compliment on the MTY THOR plate because I wanted to get an ODIN one for my R Design but sadly it’s already taken here in Hawaii.

Let me start by saying I love the picture. But the Air Wing side of me is wondering why the AF is still flying Tangos and in Japan no less. I mean even the Marine Corps has Juliets out there.

Only if you pay him $100/hr for his wife first

Well unless the issue was that his steering makes a weird noise while going through a drive thru it's still wrong. This is a breach of trust and principle.

Volvos. Specifically the enthusiast models. As a recent purchaser of a 2014 S60 R Design I have to say I was pretty disappointed at the lack of forum support and aftermarket for Volvos. Coming from a Dodge Ram where the forums and aftermarket are huge was a big change and made me realize how neglected Volvo is.

Yes I guess I should have phrased it differently. I was thinking more along the lines of dubs and similarly terrible looking wheels on cars and trucks.

My only concern is he took a 2011 frame (notoriously known for bending) and proceeded to make it weaker by chopping it. I hope there's a good amount of reinforcement on that frame post-op.

I could go on for days about this one. But number 1 is:

The Reliant Robin segment has me in tears laughing every time.
