Post Modded Volvo C30

"Well this showed up at the Volvo Repair Shop next to my shop today and is it something else.
All the shop owner would say is they are to re-program some keys.
He did let me look at it and showed me the engine compartment which has an inline five cylinder engine that has twin progressive turbo setup and is all-wheel drive....the rear tires are 18" across the tread and the fronts are right at 12" across the tread.....largest brake rotors and calipers I have ever seen on a car...brake calipers on the front have 16 brake pucks for each wheel and the rears look to be the same.
Car has a full interior and seats four in leather race seats...full cage and not one that someone just stuck inside...
Here are a couple of photos I snaped with my cell phone for the time being....maybe I can get a couple more later on."

Really, I love the looks of the C30. We rarely agree on anything.

I actually like the C30 stock.

Too bad this makes a turn for the worse...
