Quick VOLVO???
I was wondering if there was a new style Volvo that is surprisingly quick, at least to me and my 202rwhp vert :-)
I was merging onto a straight two-lane road from a very short merge lane. When it was clear, I got on it pretty hard, caught second, and continued to accellerate through third...I was looking in my rear-view and saw a silver car pretty much keeping up with me. I hit some traffic and started to slow around 75mph, and when the car eventually passed me it looked like a new style Volvo! Wow, I guess I need to put the crowbar in my wallet and come up with some heads or a blower to fend off these pesky Volvo's! I am sure you will get a kick out of this EZRIDN :-)

EZRIDN, you grew up in Roanoke? Very pretty area. My company has a factory there, very nice area.
I have a friend who has a newer Volvo and it moves pretty good. It's no match for my mustang, but I could see it taking V6 Camaros, Mustangs and any ricer. I think it was rated at 250 HP or something. The car is pretty heavy though, so that's why it's not faster off the line. Hammer and I saw a Volvo running at the 1/8th mile track running 6's and low low 7's. It was definately not stock (the engine came up through a hole in the hood ). |
