vaccaroja: i presume ur from USA, In sweden we can get the S40 with 3 different gearboxes, and yes we can get it with Manual gearbox, so YES u CAN launch it like a subby if u want.

yeah it has 225 hp at the crank not the wheels... whos the moron now. Plus from what i have seen and the 6 volvos that my family has owned all volvos are either tip-tronic or regulare automatics. so how can you even say your launching the car inless you have a side step transmition which i doubt because i dont think they even make that for your type of car, and to say your launch is as hard as an sti is BS. I have 312 Wheel HP Subaru Legacy GT Limited in a 5 speed. and i doubt your volvo launches equally as hard as mine does.

Buddy ...the stock impreza wrx has 225 hp , this one has 300 . And for your information , my launch is as hard as a wrx sti launch ;)

its modded moron

how much did the volvo win by?

and if the wrx nailed the launch volvo would have gotten ass raped by 5 car lengths as u said. this was driver error.

who has 300 bhp the WRX or the volvo? the WRX has 227bhp buddy.

the subaru won by 10 inches :) , i thought i had won but he somehow managed to catch up , still , he has 300 bhp ;)

damn that wrx fuked up his launch...and still owned that Volvo...good kill
