| Just raced a Turboed S70 Volvo It was this guy I reported with on an election tonight, it was white, really, really nice looking. So we got onto the highway and I pulled him really easily and I wasn't even in my most powerful gear. The highway was dead empty and I didn't expect that he wanted to really go, so at 90mph I was surprised that he was still semi-close. So, I floored and instantly roasted him, then he knew I wanted to go fast so he caught up when I slowed down. From then on, I pulled very hard on him in most gears, when I went above 120mph, he would cut it off. I though he was limited, but he just said that was his cut off point. Anyway, the long jaunt at speeds of well over 100mph made it seem to me that his Volvo was very well planted and mannered at those speeds. Finanlly when we got off at the exit,(we live in the same dorm building), we got side by side at the light, I left him for dead and he complimented me on how fast my car was. His car was really solid and built speed as well, but the 540i is the golden standard, save for the M5 and E55. |
