Whooped an '85 GT with my Wife's Volvo
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. |
