    I left a Volvo driver crying for his mommy thursday this week.


    He was bobtail sitting to my right side at a light because he thought he could take me. I was pulling my heavy car hauler, three cars on, my tractor weighs 20,000 by itself. Add in the trailer and cars I was easy 50,000 lbs. I had my window down and could hear his engine noise. He was giving it all he had, and that #### Volvo bob tail was not able to take on my 500 kitty with a load.

    Before I even got out of low range the fight was over. LMFAO what a sick puppy that would be to haul a load with.

    For a Volvo I would go no less than 465HP as Brick explained why. I would like to know how a 9 speed performs on a 535HP and 3.73 rears.

    Don't scare me,I know Cat's,Cummings and Detroits.For nowadays Cat's is a worst choice because of fuel consumption.Just check ads-nobody like to keep truck with Cat,especially twin turbo's Acert's.Also if you are not a trucker how you can show me your driving ability.:biggrin_25522:
