75 Volvo Station wagon Stomping On a 5 Series Beamer.
Found this on Speedhunters today and thought it was pretty interesting. I thought Id post it up since I seem to remember there being at least a handful of Volvo Lovers around here.

Am I the only one that mentally took "stomping" literally?

That Mk1 is awesome. I wish I had the skill and money to put something awesome together like one of those.
Though at the end of the day I'd probably be happier driving home an unmodified Porsche. It's probably more comfortable and more reliable and the modified cars even if slower.

It's not that hard to make that little weight go fast... its the safety part that is hard.

lol I know what you mean. The car i was previously working on was an EF civic hatch thats probably just a bit bigger than those old MK1 golfs. The thing was like a tin can. I had it gutted out and my buddies all agreed that they felt entirely unsafe riding in it. I always planned on getting a roll cage put in but have since given up on it.

A lot of the vettes on the road aren't that quick anyway, but a lot of people fail to realize that.

Some of them trucks are making in excess of 400Bhp and pack wickedly huge turbos.
S@#ts fast when its not trying to haul 15 corvettes behind it on a trailer.
