yeah, then he passes a lotus elise right after.

 

Yeah, the Elise waves him by. The Volvo does not seem to have much mods according to the poster but either that Elise guy cannot drive or that Volvo is packing some punch. Although the Elise pulled on the straights.

 

Just goes to show you that being good helps. I'd still rather be terrible and have an Elise, but that's just me.

 

that volve makes 300 HP and 295 torque i belive so yeah i would think it should pass an rx8

 

Who cares...

 

+1 I have passed many Volvos, they are very safe cars. Who cares?

 

It looks like the 8 moves out of the way to let him pass. Not saying the Volvo could or couldn't pass regardless, but that's what it looks like to me.

 

I think the driver variable has a little something to do with it...

 

The RX8 is slow on the straightaway, if you havent figured that out by now stop living under that rock!

 

it's a YouTube video....why is there even a discussion about it? Hell, I'll go make a video about an 8 passing a Ferrari and we can all speculate if it were ever possible or not.

 

Here's me solidly in front of a 300hp Escort Cosworth, AND a Porsche 911. And Again.
No - neither passed me on the straight, either.

The point?

(shrug) LOTS of things can happen at the track.

 

I'm glad to see not much has changed...

 

Wow, sweet.

You people need to chill.
