Some months back, while stopping at a traffic light in Taipain, I noticed a white Volvo 850T5 (with bodyfit and all) driving quite agressively and stopped right behind. Feeling "in the play mode", I decided to give him some surprises. So, I step on it when the light turns and sensing my invitation, so does he and try to overtake me. He was revving like mad but he still couldn't overtake me after some 1km. Although very close, I must say. Came to a 2nd traffic light and we shoot out again, still he couldn't overtake me. Then upon reaching the 3rd traffic light he pulled up, wind down the window and asked "Yours 2.5 kah?" I am sure he must be cursing like mad when his Turbo Charged 2.5 can't beat a E34 525. Jokingly I said "Nolah, not normal 2.5lah" then he smile. Anyway, the feeling was great when seeing his face in shock. Leaving the 525 badge on (mine is running on 3.2 and ....) does have it advantage in fooling people he.. he... I invited him to do one more shoot out before we parted.
Anyway, I am also so surprised that the T5 can catch up with me. Either he modified his volvo or my car really needs tuning. Nevertheless, I never understimate a volvo T5 after this encounter.
