![]() This was hysterical.
We're on the freeway when an 85 GT convertible comes up fast and cuts us off. We both accelerate, and I pull away from the GT, twice, from 70 to about 110 mph. I should mention I was in my wife's 97 Volvo Turbo wagon. From a drag start, we would have been dead meat against the GT, but it was fun to beat one on the freeway where the Volvo has a good aerodynamic advantage. Imagine the humiliation of getting beaten by a Volvo wagon. Pretty much sucked for the other guy. To be honest, I always thought my wife's car was faster on the freeway than my LX was, at least when stock. Racing the GT was a blast. Thought I'd share this story with you guys... ------------------ Russ L '91 LX Procharger, 3 row intercooler, extrude honed Cobra intake, Mac full Length Headers, 30# inj., 73mm C&L, 75mm tb, E303 cam, 289 rods, ported E7 heads, MSD, T-Rex w/255 lph Walbro, 5 lug conversion, Cobra R wheels, 3.27 gears and Moser Axles. |
