matt1122 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 This forum is pretty dead, so I've decided it's time to start posting about all of my epic wins in the XC70. My 2.5T based XC70 is MUCH faster feeling than the 2.4T I previously had, it has a nice exhaust tone (especially if you start in third gear with Winter mode), and it is fun to drive. So I am an asshole and use at least 1/2 throttle at every stoplight. Often times, this results in some seriously hardcore street racing to speeds as high as 40, 50, and sometimes even 60 miles per hour. The stakes are higher than ever, as if I lose I may end up stuck behind the other driver, as drivers sometimes change lanes and drive slowly in front of you. If I win, I can actually do the speed limit, or (if I'm feeling truly daring) 5 miles over, until I hit the next stoplight or patch of traffic. These are those stories. Please note that I immediately let off the throttle if I feel the other car is trying to race me back, as street racing is dangerous and illegal and I do not wish to put anyone else's life in any danger. 1/7/2013 - Totally smoked a Ford Fusion SE. I was at least three car lengths ahead by the time we reached 45 miles per hour, where the lanes merged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikS Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I out stoplight most Houston drivers when I want to because of decent tires, LPT torque, and massive brembos. However, I did 25 mph through downtown today and made 8 lights without braking once, laughing at speeders and lane changers. I'm not even 200 whp ... but quite possibly 150 IQ.

ErikS Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 How do massive brembos help? I may need massive brembos. Stoplight, it ain't a "Golight" right? I got mine for $500, a bit of powder coat and $5 worth of decals, here you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1122 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hmmm, my car stops alright as is. But anyway... 1/9/2013 - Spanked a last generation Nissan Maxima. He held on at my rear quarter panel after I got the initial jump, but confidence that AWD would keep me from squealing tires like a loser won this battle.

Leo850T5 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I beat a Ford Fiesta 1.6 in my dad's Chevrolet Corsa 1.4. I was going well over 80km/h when I shifted into 4th, but had to slow down because it was getting too dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Slice Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 So I was at a stoplight this afternoon and a new Ford Taurus cop car pulled up next to me... I revved my engine briefly, he turned on his light bar briefly whilst smirking at me and raising one eyebrow. I then proceeded to pull away verrrrrrrrry carefully when it turned green. Good times.
