Locksley1976 Neutral Newbie May 10, 2005 Share May 10, 2005 Saw this on Sunday evening along Boundary Road. A volvo S40 was following a new Lexus GS300 who was speeding away. The GS300 driver was driver (1st car) at a traffic light on extreme right and the volvo was behind. When the light turned green, the GS300 floored the accelerator. But after 50metres, see the volvo overtake the GS300 on the left and sped off. The S40 that fast meh? Thought the GS300 can do 0-100 in 7.5s, somemore V6 engine. Don't know if the volvo is T5 cos too fast liao. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falc 3rd Gear May 10, 2005 Share May 10, 2005 Maybe the GS300 doesnt want to overspeed too much, so let go of throttle. At the overtake pt, is the GS300 still accelerating or perhaps taper off already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locksley1976 Neutral Newbie May 10, 2005 Author Share May 10, 2005 Still accelerating. At the next traffic light, see the volvo gone liao. The GS didn't beat the next traffic light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locksley1976 Neutral Newbie May 10, 2005 Author Share May 10, 2005 Maybe the volvo want to teach the GS a lesson cos the GS was going quite fast on the right lane earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falc 3rd Gear May 10, 2005 Share May 10, 2005 Maybe GS not WOT. This kind of encounter, only the 2 drivers know what happen actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if the volvo is T5 cos too fast liao. Yup from what i know that the Volvo s40 is rather powerful . And some more i think that the turbo version is much more powerful man (Maybe it is the T5 version man). Somemore the i think that the volvo is the T5 version man I think the Gs 300 is not flooring the acclercator because the car is new man( engine still running in ).
