Scandinavian muscle [PIC]

The 1995 Volvo 850 T-5R looked like something your pipe smoking college professor would own but performance-wise, it did 0-60 in under 6 seconds and it's top speed that electronically limited to 151mph making it a swedish Pocket Rocket.

I never knew this Volvo was a hot rod. Pretty cool!

The fellow down the street from me works exclusively on Volvos and he's the go-to mechanic in the area. Saw a couple of these ( body style not the performance models) parked for service there now and then and have always really liked the styling of this particular Volvo model.

Your photos are exceptional making your model appear as a 1:1. I especially like the color of this beauty.
