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.

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...

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.
