    That's really nice!!! Nice car too!!! Hope your shifter is easily fixed.
    I'm not familiar with that engine.
    But I'd be curious to hear more information about it.

    Ok I just did a quick google for t6 engines and viewed some really sick Volvo at a drag strip. I now understand what you built!

    Thanks!
    Its a volvo 2,8l six cylinder engine, with a Garreth GT35/82R turbo.

    The car is built for trackdays mostly, but i run it on the roads to.

    Nice car for a day on the street. I heard that a shifter-breakage every once in a while happens to the best of us...

    Man that's cool!
    How much Hp and torque do you think your making? Is your rear end stock?
    I'd think it would be a waste if you wouldn't drive it on the street at least once and awhile. Let others a chance to see and hear such a monster.
