Fun with V8 Volvo's
Posted: Fri May 05, 2006 9:03 pm
So I had a little fun with a new V8 XC90 yesterday 
It (tinted windows so I couldn't see driver) was pacing me hard from one stop light to another, so I motioned to GO when we lined up together at a red.
I held my revs up a little as it went yellow in cross traffic, then launched at about 4500rpm. The XC launched too, but I took it by 1 car through 1st
with my front and rear tires breaking loose. It came almost even by the end of 2nd, and was pulling a *bit* on me.
We played once or twice as we moved down the road, and it was again pulling on me a bit in 3rd - but I'd say the little 13yr old turbo leg did DAMN good against this new $46,000+ vulva
I found some stats on it:
XC90
AWD
4.4l V8 (develped by Yamaha)
6spd auto
311hp
325lbft
4600lbs (why I could take him off the line no doubt)
did I mention $46,000
Yeah, yeah I know "street racing is bad"
Let's just call it 2 vehicles driving with spirit.... together
