Today we road trip the Sleeper Volvo 240 Wagon over 1000 miles down to Bradenton Florida (Bradenton Motorsports Park) and Orlando Florida (Orlando Speed World) to attempt to run a 10 second quarter mile and beat my friend Boosted John. Will the 800HP Turbo LS be able to do it?

All hail Caleb Targaryen, Lord of the seven burnouts
Make this car work. You built it, it doesn’t do what you want….stick it through and fix it
No man we can tell that trans is super notchy
Where’s the clutch engagement? It should be as soon as you touch the pedal the master cylinder likes it better
Bro I think just enjoy it as a street car. It’s a sleeper. Not a dedicated drag car.
I have to wonder if you can it drive nice on Mickies.. if you do fix the trans…. then the next issue is a traction problem.
Hey Caleb its ok don't fosuc on the trolls
Sell it :(. Sad to see it go, but you allready have a lot of forever cars
1st is so short…feels like you should just launch in 2nd lol
This car has too much potential as it is, do not change it 😀
I think you need a better trans but also some launch tuning with the suspension to get it to hook better.
You shouldn't feel too bad about the shifting bro. Kyle from boostedboiz uses like super built really nice transmissions and still misses 3rd every now and then
very fun do more of these videos
Hit up cleetus to spice up the Volvo!!
Wonder why Gingium… went to Wendy’s… hmmmm
"Uglier car" lmao civics are the ugliest things on the road and bricks are beautiful, even if Caleb has the ugliest 240 grille.
Just replace the transmission. You've spent more money chasing shit around it at this point. Either get rid of the manual which is the better solution, or buy a new T56 Magnum from Tremec for 3200.
Needs an auto and a transbrake
Sell it!!!!!!
I vote for an automatic transmission.
If you're chasing quarter mile times then you might as well take the human factor out of the shifts.
Don’t give up on the manual trans.
time for an automatic and some rubber so you can actually put that power down
Glad to see I’m not the only one thinking “auto trans!” I was a manual purist for a while, but once I found out how much easier it is to use an auto for drag racing, I think they’re underrated
Dude change the car up I like the whole sleeper thing but get a drag car I would love to see that content
Please please PLEASE keep it manual
i will literally die if you put an autotragic on any of your built cars
Thats a solid 450whp volvo. You need a bigger turbo, bigger turbos fix everything!

Bruh you starting to be like Kyle, lmao
Please keep the car and put a new manual trans in. Such a cool wagon!!!!
Sort of a young Axl Rose look.
Those are bad shifting transmissions. You suould go to a zf 8 speed auto.
Bro you need to see if you can find a turbo 400 trans for it
You need a bias ply tire like Quick Time Pros to help grip and nit break stuff like a radial will. Need a driver mod lol I don't think trying to no lift speed shift is helping. The car has to rebuild boost anyways its not that much faster to not lift off the gas
32:02 I'm not passing it definitely Smash!
As a fellow stick shift racer that has experience with drag racing faster cars…. I can confidently say that SOME of your issues is your shifting. One instance i saw you try to bang 3rd before your foot fully depressed the clutch. Your 1-2 footwork is money! A t56 magnum is the move for sure. That'd def help. I usually practice in staging lanes as if I'm racing, and also make a habit to record my shifting and pedal movements during the run. Anyways, don't take this as overly critical. Hope you have better luck and more importantly fun
Volvo needs 2 things: 1. New transmission. Maybe even beefier one. 2. Bigger boost. Make it 1000HP.
Wig is honestly fitting don’t look to bad lol
Not to be a hater but your trying to make power and have great times in a car that isn’t meant to do it. I got nothing but love for this channel but you live and you learn. Keep your head up and move on to the next build. That’s the best part of being a gear head. But you are doing great things and tbh I always thought of this Volvo to be a drifty boy but banging gears down the stripe is cool to.
What do your elf eyes see my friend
