Little race... Posted By: RedScreaminMachine On: 05-10-2008 @ 17:29:49 Reply | Edit Me and my GF cruising this morning in my stock LT1 (2.73 gears, auto). I run into a Volvo with some guy that wants to run me. Normally I wouldn't waste my gas on something like a Volvo, but something about this car made me change my mind. We rolled out at like 60 mph and I counted off and we both hit it. It was dead even until my car shifted into 3rd gear at about 85 mph and then he started walking away very slowly. I was thinking WTF, and wanted another go at it. This time we were rolling about 65 mph which is slightly better for me. I counted it off again and we both hit it. Same as the last run, it was dead even until my car hit 3rd gear and then he started walking away again very slowly. The race was so close that I think if I had been alone in my car it might have been dead even. All that aside, they were a couple of great runs with me getting the loss both times. We pulled into a gas station and chatted it up a bit. Turned out it was a 2008 S80 V8 AWD. The guy said it makes 311hp and 325tq (I confirmed it when I got home). Volvo claims it weighs 4100 lbs. The guy was pretty cool for a Volvo driver. We never got to run from a stop, but I'd think he'd beat me decently being AWD. Even if he only pulled a little on me out of the hole, I wasn't gonna pull anything back, and up top he'd probably increase the lead. I'd think it's a 13.9 car in decent weather. I was very impressed with the car and it'll hopefully teach me not to underestimate cars with my stock LT1, lol. Time for some mods I think! -- Blue 1994 Camaro Z28 A4 2.73's, ZR1 Wheels, Eibach Pro Kit [ Edited on 04/21/2008 @ 17:30:02 ] Posted By: ChazGotAZ28 On: 04-23-2008 @ 22:48:31 Reply | Top | Edit Did you get rid of your Camaro?

But seriously, that's a respectable death to a far superior car......lol. --
