It's about right. The Volvo S80 is a bigger car than their others, and it is slower - R&T clocked it at around 6.6 I believe. The S60 T5 isn't much better, but the S70's are around 6 flat. You get one with a stick and can take around a half second off that time. Their actually very fast for the "family sedan" class, and run the same times as Mustang Cobra's (but not the Cobra R's).

There's an option for most vehicles that increases brake horsepower, increases mileage, increases driver control, lasts longer than the alternative, and even reduces the price of the vehicle. Despite all this, most people in this country choose the alternative, an automatic transmission.
