Rolling Magazine, May/June 1990 issue

"Compared to a stock 1980 Volvo 200-series, the conversion is an unbelievably fast and quiet vehicle."


Turbo & Hi-Tech Performance Magazine, November 1994 issue

 "Swedish stocker to a hybrid screamer with 0-60 times that have gone from 9.3 seconds in original trim, to 7.0 after a stock 5.0 was installed and down to an estimated 5.2 seconds after the addition of the supercharger."


MAXSpeed Magazine, June 1999 issue

 "If you can dream it and pay for it, Converse can build it."

 


Hot Rod Mechanix Magazine, May 1995 issue

 "The Volv-8 kit is remarkably complete. It's been designed to use existing holes in the Volvo's frame and bodywork."

 


European Car Magazine, February 1995 issue

We spoke to Volvo performance experts Frank Freeman and Pat McKellips at Group 6 Saab and Volvo Performance and asked what they thought of this program. "It's a great idea. Ross does a good job with his kit. The most horsepower we can reliably pull from the B230-series engine hovers around 250, but we can't come close to the torque of a big V8."
