Fast Volvo's.
These are some of the fastest. Nothing over 2.5L and as far as I know, most of them are around 2.0L. The term "redblock" refers to the age of the motor. the Basic design of this motor dates back to a 1975 and is very similar to a tractor motor that Volvo used a long time ago. I copied this from another fourm.
Europe's fastest 4 cylinder doorslamer is Krister Adeen's 850.
1/4 in 7,20 secs and 305kmh (about 190mph). It has a 16V redblock with around 1100hp.

Second fastest 4 cylinder doorslammer in Europe is Pär Eriksson's C70, and is also a 16V redblock. ;-)
7,34 @ 298kmh:

The fameous carbon PV. Posted a million times, but who can ever get enough of the sound of this thing!? Of course it has a 16V redblock.
