Whooped an '85 GT with my Wife's Volvo

[NO SLO PK]

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...
