Volvo Drag Race! Sibling Rivalry Part 1 

have u heard of Robbie Ferriera?

I like it but MCM has it claimed right now.

Robbie Ferriera and Dustin Williams

Thanks Robert! We’ll have better timing gear in the spring when we do this again. Interesting numbers. Seems like the power dies off a bit.

I'm at 6000ft elevation. My S60R does 0-60 in 5.8 1/4 in 11.8... my dude needs some more lead in his foot.

Issa Stock Volvo ikr if i was it and that s60r i would launch it at 5k and bang every gear at redline

Exactly i did 7 sec with a stock 2005 s40 2.4 l no turbo

Probably short shifting to stay in that lower RPM power band.

Yeah, you can make up seconds when launching properly and shifting almost flat without loosing boost in the middle of the shift. I can make my remapped S40 T5 AWD manual to go 0-60 around 6,1s if everything goes nicely, but if I shift like these guys it will be similar numbers, like high 7 secs or low 8s 0-60. For the Shifting Lanes guys: When you tune your car to go fast, please try sometimes to punish it even a bit. I know it's unnecessary stress to the car to launch it hardly, but the feeling is worth it. :)

@@GunsWithGage The ECU limits torque in first pretty severely.

I almost had Gregson -Chad

Why would you double clutch on upward shifts with a synchromesh box? I agree the changes are awful but in fairness to the guys the Volvo gearbox is not renowned for slick changes? In fact the gearbox on an S 60 I drove for 5 years would have been more at home in a tractor.

@@derekwhyle1884 Fair points but me thinks TJ was making a Fast & Furious joke.

@@derekwhyle1884 it's a joke, some of you guys on the internet think too deeply into to things and take it to seriously...it was Fast and furious 1 Movie reference.

@@derekwhyle1884 HAHA! You haven't watched Fast & Furious. HAHAHA!

Money pit

Go for the S80 V8, the only V8 volvo ever made, its a yamaha enigine 😍

@@Caligula_DK Or the SUV because it has a V8 option as well.

@@Caligula_DK but I ended up buying a 08 Passat VR6 4Motion Wagon and a 2016 Golf Sportwagen....never made to even look at a Volvo unfortunately.

I own a S60...and let me tell ya...ain’t gonna change Volvo for any other car. Its an incredible experience driving this beauty, it grows on you, every day! Really love my S60!

Chad sucks. -Gregson

I thought so too.

they all shifted too early in different runs.. or dumped the clutch/torqued it too hot... also didn't start out in the right gear to reduce time spent shifting, every shift costs around 1/4 second for these cars and these guys..3 or 4 shifts.. that touching on +1 second. meaning every car should been below 10 seconds easily... i would thing wagon touching on mid 8's with an amazing but aggressive launch and the rest probably be low to mid 9's the wagon specially let down by that short shift and slow start//that 1/8th mile time could been done alot faster i think...pulling mid 8's i would think. brake torque/clutch dump it 2nd gear and just below full wheel spin/traction control lock out.. 2nd gear 2500 grand launch maybe and hold 2nd gear much longer, pull it until its out of puff ..6500+ atleast...then throw it into 3rd.. or i mean the wagon has alot more torque and power and displacement, so i mean maybe even get away with 3rd gear launch torquing it hard off the line.. and skip all shifting

@@Honeypot-x9s yeah, you are right

Antilaakeri I don’t expect them to be abusive or exceptionally aggressive though as these are likely their personal cars and clutch dumping and brake torquing can put a lot of stress on things specially given that Volvo’s really aren’t light. But I think they can all drop at least 1 second off these times. But all ya the wagon has the most potential in terms of raw speed, but on a track i as a wagon owner will admit it probably be the slowest specially in more technical areas unless they upgrade suspension, brakes and various bits for geometry like sway bars and such.

He's Asian, give him a break

@@Honeypot-x9s The awd system on these wagons is very weak, doing just 1 launch can strip the angle gear of the haldex system, then its 1-3k to fix it.

I was trying to be funny. I shall try not to be funny anymore 😂 -Hansen

Many more to come! Make sure you’re subbed, we have lots of exciting adventures ahead! -Hansen “the guy that came in last place”

😂😂😂 unfortunately not yet, but this needs to happen in the spring.

Wagons for life! -Gregson

I like the MK1 look more, but still a sick look on that one too.

yes!!

They really are not, I mean everyone in the word knows what volvo is.

jezzyby47 those rims are slick. Like them, wouldnt mind throwing them on my mk2 c70

Oh yea! Cattless down pipe and Gutted exhaust also.

We want to own all the Volvos. So this is a possibility in the future!

We were also using a shitty iPhone app with a 1s refresh rate. They’re faster than this videos let’s on. We’ll get some proper timing gear and redo this in the spring.

Thanks man! Really cool to see how these performed.

What exhaust was it? I didn't catch it

@@area.man. Hansen had the IPD oval tube exhaust on his R.

Depends on how much space you need. V60's boot is not that much bigger because of the steeping rear. Still I think it looks better, so I bought the V60.

😂😂😂

@@ShiftingLanes Hey - because of you guys and your channel, I made what is possibly the worst decision of my entire life. Here in the next 30-45 minutes, a trailer is showing up with a 2006 V70R on the back of it - that I bought for... ...for... ...$1800... 😹😹😹😹😹😹

An ‘06 for $1800!? Nice! How bad is it? 😂

@@ShiftingLanes Well, let's start with the *225,618* miles, shall we? The seats look like it - they're in about the same shape (or a bit worse) than the M3 I had that I let go to a new home at 198,500 miles in 2014. The exterior is in great shape - one tail light has a small crack in it, and there's some paint damage on the front air dam. Brakes are spongy as hell. OMG. The engine is making a small whining noise. Could be the power steering pump (same as my M3, and it makes the same sound as every failing PS pump ever), could be the turbo, could be that I need a whole new engine. Who knows? I think FCP Euro will have a lot of entries in my checkbook register. :) Fortunately, I have a backup... :joy: i.imgur.com/e2bRUly.png It's going to stay parked in the garage until next month. When the plates come in from the DMV, I'll take it over to my FLVS and see what I'm actually looking at here. But for as nice as the body shell is, $2600 (including Tax/Title/License and having it delivered to my door from 175 miles away), means I've got budget to fix a fair number of things before I reach the "what it's worth" point, right? Push comes to shove, fix some little things for a couple grand and our teen can drive it around for a year or two - or even take it to college with him, right?

Jonathon Barton ah so a normal R. Got it 🤣 you’ll love it just the same. That’s not entirely horrible. All fixable. Nice XC! That’s what I want to get next. Love the newer ones. -Gregson

Oh yea and it will have that by the spring when we do it again.

Can't wait

ShiftingLanes so hyped. Thanks again for all this Volvo content. I think it's an untapped niche in the automotive RU-vid content market that has a lot of potential for you guys.

More than welcome! And totally agree. I personally have totally fallen in love with the brand and amazing community surrounding it. Still have soooo much stuff planned for 2019. Cannot wait to unveil what we have in store! Thanks so much again for watching us 3 idiots 🙂 -Gregson

Thanks!

Thanks Ejike! Great suggestion on Racelogic. We’ve already been looking at better equipment. That’s on the list. Can’t wait to do this again in the spring at an actual strip!

@@ShiftingLanes I'll be looking forward to the rematches. Great video. There's not many Volvo channels around.

Exactly!

Few things to point out: 1. Slight incline they are racing on not a very level ground and there was a corner or two mixed. 2. Cold day = Cold tires + Cold road = limited launching capabilities since tire slip is more likely specially on launch when most potential acting against the tire. 3. The drivers here starting in 1st and short shifting 4. Lack of experience and/or personal cars they don’t wish to abuse too much. But they short shifted a lot and throwing a lot of gears to get to 60, should just launch it in a taller gear and with it brake torquing or clutch dump it at a few grand. Each gear throw is costing them 1/4 second and going through at least 2 gears just to get to 60.. that’s potentially upwards of 1/2 second wasted. 5. Tires of unknown quality.. they mentioned V70R has best tires, it’s possible that they all could do with better tires.

From what I saw, the drivers were the main issue -- specifically shifting. On a stock S/V60R M66 you should hit 60 just before you grab 3rd. These guys shifted way too early and the shifts were slow.

I wonder they test 0-60 or 0-70? Coz the gopro shows 70+ mph on every run?

​@@AmirPomen they using a iPhone app and attempting a 1/8th mile run..and 0-60 was captured within that run... likely inaccuracies and such because its not a proper setup, just iPhone app using gyros and satellites. they need a real speed trap setup and/or a vbox to capture real speeds without accuracy issues

That was a joke

Careful now, or you'll get lost in my wake.

Thanks! It's the best.

More like 30 minutes.

Thor Hansen probably the transfer case issue that these volvos have...

Traction. 1st was spinning so to limit the wheel spin I short shifted into 2nd. Tires grabbed and she bogged. Wanted to at least keep the revs up for boost which is why I didn't lift

You would have destroyed us all 😂 this spring you should come out to the drag strip with us!

ShiftingLanes I definitely will. When I visit family in NJ I would love to have you guys do a review of the Polestar. Volvo guys gotta stick together you know!!
