Volvo S60R AWD 300HP vs Saab 9-5 Aero Abbott 300HP 80-250+ Acceleration

Saab launches with traction control on but S60R naturally launches much better with the help of AWD. With better torque and less power loss on the wheels against S60Rs AWD system, Saab with Abbott ECU just kills S60R until 220 kmh. Then R comes back into play again. This Volvo was my new purchase to replace the Saab 9-5 Wagon but I kept the Saab instead. My plans to make R faster was abandoned after reading some issues with the angle gear weakness issues and Volvo never addressed this expensive fix.

Volvo: 2004 S60R Stock power of 300HP/350NM
Saab: 2005 9-5 Aero Stg3 tuned to 300HP/400NM
Modification List: ECU by Abbott Racing Delta (original power 250HP/350NM), FMIC, 3" DP, 3" Exhaust with no cat, forged pistons, big intake, dump valve.

Great Camera for both photo and HD Video. Well noticed :)

R also took advantage of being pulled by the drafting impact of the big wagon after 200 kmh when it gets behind Saab :)

i wouldnt recommend tuning your geartronic s60r>>>>>>

volvo have already limited the power of the car in teh first two gears of the geartronics becuase the gearbox cannot handle the power.

the 4 wheel drived volvo gave it the head start but the heavier volvo becuase of its 4 wheel drive system lost to the saab even though the power was the same

nice video though...what you maxxed the volvo out at so far?

@999micheal

I've searched Swedespeed forum and did not find any incidence. I will actually go this route and keep all posted.

nice speed <3 but my love goes towards the saab <3

:P

[mnino2]

Clearly the Saab slowed down

[DoctorPification]

@TurkishAerolines VERY NICE VOLVO ! :D

@TurkishAerolines IPD points that out with their ECU upgrades. They have 2 versions of the upgrade, one is torque limited one is not. However, it does mention that the gearbox is awesome and is very unlikely to fail unless you have a lot of torque, 450+ ft lbs. Having owned a Volvo, and owning a Saab, I love this video!

[Gabrielskates123]

i have the same saab LOOOOL

@TurkishAerolines Saab has better acceleration but Volvo has better V-Max (on 5k rpm and 250 km/h he is still accelerates).

[kungenmattiashihi]

Agreed. You drafted him, not stranger then that. That saab owned that volvo. :)
