    Comin back from hangin with my girl i hear a decently loud older volvo.I would say its a late 80's early 90ish volvo.I get behind him at this light and he pulls away and i follow.I gotta admit he pulled decently away from me at first but i was just reeling him in around 70ish until this truck blocks my way.oh well.Sometime later i get next to him at a light and i tell him he moves pretty good and he told me its turboed plus i saw the boost gauge.So the light goes green and this time i launch it right and put an easy 2 cars on him til 65 .it looked like he was reelin me in but by 90 i held a car on him.Then we got on this straight and went from a 20 roll, he put an instant half car on me till 60 then i just put a good 2 cars on him til i shut it down by 90.this was one of the better races i had.So we chatted at a stop sign for a min.He told me how he likes how my car moves and i told him my mods.He said its RWD and auto.But never told me the name dammit lol.
    BTW he told me its got like 290ish hp but he wasnt sure.I doubt that but i could be wrong.I just couldnt really see myself beating a 290ish hp car unless it weighed tons.

    I may say rude things but learn to take a joke. The internet is funny when you can laugh.
