And the SRT8 is currently unmodified! Yah, those 'SUPER' Euro cars...
Stay tuned and DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL!!!
EDIT - my fault - I'm hopefully going to Vegas for SEMA and will be attending 'The Rat Pack' show. But both links are NOW correct - again sorry, I've got VEGAS on my mind right now, as SEMA is but two weeks (ish) away.
EDIT - part deux - Just got word I did not get my request in early enough for this years SEMA show. Oh well, maybe next year.

Yeah.. wtf indeed! What does that second link even have to do with cars?
I'm going to make a wild guess: you saw this commercial and figured "to hell with european cars, they aren't anywhere near as fast as good 'ol american muscle LOL"..
You do realize that the shelby shown there isn't anywhere near as fast as that Carrera GT you see pulling to the right... right?
Dude I am so wtfed out after the whole bonneville thing and now this? But yea were making some progress.
I am with you on the bonnevill thing. a bloody shame...

Viper007,
I'm NOT saying I don't deserve the shot you just took, BECAUSE I DID SCREW THE POOCH. I have corrected the errors in the links.
BUT IF you are going to CRITICIZE ME, at least get it right. It's the CROWN VIC or DODGE CHARGER INTERCEPTORS (NOT the Bonnie) that no one believes can keep up with or possibly whoop up on the 'great Euro Cars'. My contention was that a properly modified Police Interceptor could catch all the 'great Euro Cars' that some here seem to think are the end all and be all...
And the SRT8 in the first link was completely stock. NOTHING ADDED (yet). It hadn't even had it's first oil change.
My contention could best be expressed by THIS INTERCEPTOR with 'ghost' PD markings.
Which can also be seen on page 4 of this thread about half way down. That's what I'm talking about.
Volvo V70 T5- not tickled to make more than the 250bhp that the standard car has. And a nice 243/lb ft of torque ain't so bad.
0-60 in 7.1 seconds, and it can handle too. I doubt the qualities of yours, and have no doubt that any of the cars posted would get around a decent track quicker than a Crown Vic. Maybe a little more trouble for the Dodge- but not so much.

The "Bonneville" reference does not relate to anything in this thread, so before YOU criticise others, at least get it right.
150mph isn't all that fast you know. Indeed the mighty V70, well known for being the highest pinnacle of European high-speed sports cars, can manage 153.
The contention is rather weak, I feel.
