Default WS6 vs. Volvo 850R

Old video from a while ago I just found, some friendly runs with a buddy heading home from the track.

My car: 2001 WS6 M6 with Bolt-On's/4.10's/Tune

His car: Volvo 850R with Bolt-On's/Upgraded stock turbo/Tuning. Was trapping 110-112mph at the time on average depending on traction

Last run was the closest, bad spot for me though being as I was almost at the top of second and had to shift right away, and started at his door. Overall just some good fun, that Volvo is quick surprises a lot of people lol!

Sweet vids, car sounds great! Most any turbo car can be turned into a beast. It does run good for what it is.

LOL No kidding. Its even weirder seeing it, like on that second run. Its obvious its breaking loose. I'd have to say tires probably played biggest culprit in that though.
