Talking of station wagon on the racetrack.

I don't know how this compares to typical times, but I was able to horse the V70R around South Course in 1:25. I forget his name, but the guy pitted next to me came with a ZR1 Vette on a trailer, and he was very interested in how I was turning lap times similar to his (his friends had timed me), lol. This was with a stock V70R with a 6-speed manual, PFC97 pads, Motul, and Pirelli Corsa R-comps. It was only good for about 3-4 laps at that pace prior to the Haldex shutting down and ending the fun.

There are quite a few fast Wagon's that run with us. Including Chris's V8 Volvo, a wicked fast Audi Avant, and a modified Turbo Subaru Legacy Wagon.

Man, that thing is awesome. He was working on it at one of the tech days last year, and talked about it a little while I was gawking. He said he likes to take it to Porsche events and bruise their egos. Ever been passed by it, Patrice? :lol:
