Fun with V8 Volvo's

[farfrumwork]

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

I thought they had 340hp, but they're probably using the updated SAE ratings now.

I'll bet it does haul ass though.

Funny thing, many SUVs and minivans out there are faster than people give them credit for. When I was working at Toyota, I handed a ricer Integra his ass in our Sienna shuttle van

the title of this thread is very misleading
I was expecting some v8 swapped 240s
