Default 2005 s80 T6 Lacking Performance :/ Any ideas?

I ran my 0-60 a couple times last night and the fastest I got was a 7.65.... I've read that they're supposed to run a 6.8. My friends 2010 Tundra 4x4 5.7 iForce runs a 7.3.

Is there something wrong with my car if it's running that slow or do any of you guys run the same with your T6's.

hmm i have never done it. 1st time hearing it..was the tire pressure good? was the A/C off? What about the weather and road conditions. Was there stuff in the trunk that could be heavy enough to slow it down?Or maybe lagging turbo itself? Volvo recommends Castrol oil..but i dont think that should matter.
