i was in the R, obviously. what kind of volvo was yours? was it modified? it seemed pretty damn fast.

i'd like to ride in a 6sp. this GT just seems to slow. my 6sp S4 had 250hp and was much faster and when it was chipped it was like a different car.

It may have been me. I was ripping down I5 south at about that time last night between Everett and Lynnwood.

Not sure if you're referencing the greater Seattle area or "South Seattle."

Although, I don't recall seeing an R on the way home. Did see a 2005 red R w/ European plates heading North I-5 that got off at the South Everett exit.

Do have a un-mod 6 speed, in case it was me.

Was it a Flint Grey S40?

THen it was me then. I had a run with a S60R GT, Ti grey, with the last 3 letter of the plate "TBR".
We had a talk on James St. exit then I had to go back I-5 North to U-district.

Nope, the car is a bone stock S40 T5 GT. I was very surprised as well to be able to keep up with your R. Amazing!!

I knew all along the R was the beast and there's no way keeping up. But I underestimated the T5. So it wasn't that bad.
