    volvo s60 r

    i was on the highway this evening minding my own business. when i saw 2 volvo's up ahead, one was a wagon and the other was sporty looking, for a volvo. i saw the R and thought he might be fun. so i shot him a rev, and paced him. but he didnt do anything. so i went on down the road when all of a sudden he comes flying past me at probably 100, so i got on it but he was probably 4 cars ahead by then and i was very slowly reeling him in but i hit 130 and hit the limiter, i really need to remove that. plus its wet here and it was scary. i know im a pu$$y. but then this guy slows down and i pull up beside him, but his windows are totally blacked out, i pace him a little and wait but nothing, then i go on down the road and he does it again, goes flying by at like 100. then hits the brakes and turns. i called my brother who works at a huge auto auction and has driven almost everything from bently GT's to zo6's and he says those volvo's have huge turbo lag, and maybe he was actually trying to race. i dont know but i looked up the specs and it should have been a nice race if we had both hit it at the same time. unless i sprayed heehee, which i would not have done in the rain.

    Eh, the turbo lag isn't THAT bad... They run a low 5 sec 0-60 and a high 13 sec 1/4 mile. They are decently quick cars, but I don't see you having an issue easily out running one...

    yeah, but i wish he would have hit the gas when i was beside him and not keep doing ricer flybys. i paced him twice waiting for him to hit it first. but he never would.
