How would I get on..?

About to lay £50 on it with my boss, he just got the slightly tuned Volvo V70R & I've got a stock MCS...

Nige.

Normal V70R are running 250 bhp, obviously thru' the front wheels like you. It's a heavy car and so has awkward handling.

It depends on what the bet is. Both of you (I assume you know what you are doing in a car!) around a tight circuit, the MCS. Somewhere with long straights - a bit more even.

Drag race - the MCS up to 40-50 and then the V70 should catch up.

What tyres do you have? Make sure they are warmed and his are not!

Have (safe) fun!
