Hi Danny,
Is your brothers Volvo tuned or stock? If it's stock I can safely say that the Aero WILL beat it, regardless of conditions or speed.
The Aero has nice handling. A bit too comfort oriented if you're into spirited driving, but it's easily fixed with better dampers (I use Bilstein on mine) and lowering springs. There are also a few bushings that can be switched to polyurethane and that improve handling significantly.
The Aero is also a dream to tune: 3" exhaust, modified airbox with K&N drop-in and a modified ECU and you're running 270-280 hp and well over 300 ft-lbs of torque. Trust me when I say that a setup like that kicks ass...
I have the above mods and a reinforced clutch and some other minor mods. A really, really fun car to drive and still with all the creature comforts.
100-150 kph (63-96 mph) takes 4,2 seconds...
/ Karl
