I think you're on the right track. Volvo cars have always been the stereotypical safe cars. Whether they are just solid tank-like vehicles like the '76-'93 240 series or the supertechnological airbag laden cars like the S60 and S80, they've always been associated with safety over performance. That said the ultimate sleeper will be (when they debut) the S60R, with an aftermarket ECU and exhaust system. A Volvo with ~350 hp is definitely a sleeper. It can be done, look at the '94-'00 850/S70 Turbos with modded 280hp! Boy, will the kid in the Civic be mad when he gets dusted by an 8 year old Volvo!
