RE: 5000TQ dusted by M3

[Gary Kaklikian <Gary.Kaklikian@digital.com>]

It wasn't a M3, but just to restore our faith in the 5000TQ:

Recently had some fun with a Volvo 850 Turbo on the highway. I could pull
anyway from him easily from starting speeds of 75+ mph. By the time I
reached (unmentionable) speeds near top end, I had at least 150 yards on
him. When I let me lead with the jump, I was able to pass him.  

I know, it's only a Volvo, but it is rated at 222hp and weighs about 200lbs
less than the 5000TQ. Only engine mod to my 5000 is a TAP chip and bypass
valve. (Yes, still has the K26)

btw - this occured at altitude of 6000-7000ft.
