Sounds Ok to me.
I'm guessing we're talking 24 hours here so some gentlemen can make up time with fewer fuel stops?
Just how much would it cost to feed the Volvo for say 2k miles at roughly 6 mpg?
Doggy, Sir, we all know my Volvo will be first past the finish line and you'll feel a bit upset about it all.......never mind though I'll even donate a set of new copper washers to see you make it home ok

I think a 406 2.2 "180" could quite possibly see off me or CJ. I'd like to see 30-to-a-ton since big french diesels aren't really geared for doing 0--60. Would that level the playing field against the Volvo too?
(My 406 would need a long motorway to get to a ton )
Well, what I do wonder is whether the 2.2 HDI TT (twin turbo) is faster than the 2.2 CDTi engine I had in the Honda. That thing was sublime - it was a brilliant, brilliant, if utterly unreliable, engine. It would be doing 100 before I realised it (quite literally) and I did accelerate to 130mph somewhere in Belgium in it once. That was only supposed to be 136bph...
If we assume there's little to choose between a standard twin turbo 2.2 407/C5 and a remapped 2.2 406, (which personal experience suggests is the case), then I can confidently state either will run rings round the Honda.
(A "friend" has researched this extensively over the last few years).

2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)

2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
You bring that race on!
