Volvo 850 T5 Beats R32 Skyline

Drag race @ Santa Pod USC 2007. Me in my Volvo 850 T5 Vs my mate James in his Skyline R32 GTS-t. Gotta love these volvos... This run is in 15.2 secs for me, and 15.9 for the Skyline

hahaha people have really took this seriously... the comments make great reading, the whole point of posting the video was to show that you don't need to spend mega money, buying insurance extreme cars to beat skylines... (yeah a bottom of the range skyline gts-t but I said that from the start... )

A year after this video (with only £1,000 of engine work done by me), that Volvo did a run that made it the 4th fastest Volvo in the UK, of 13.91, the video is in my list.

@djskitzy74 it was beaten into 5th place a few months later by the flying banana @ brighton seafront, just in case anyone has a discrepancy with the "fastest volvo" placings in the comments, in know what you lot are like.....

LOL @ rice boys. Even the holy grail R34 GT-R V-Spec only runs a mid-13 quarter. When they were imported here in the US by MotoRex in SoCal, an R34 GTR was $99,000. My Volvo T5 wagon was $1200. ECU and exhaust ($750 total) and the T5 is making 285hp (240 @ wheels). And I have room for 7 passengers. Oh, and my engine will last longer. KTHANXBYE!

@seanwilliams78 I LOVE pulling away from a stoplight here in the US in my stock mid-90s volvo wagon, and leaving a loud rice rocket in my wake. What can be more embarrassing than being beaten by a station wagon! What a great car.

@seanwilliams78 haha you dont even know what ricer even mean idiot. Just because someone post some video one car beating another car doesnt mean that you can get all cocky and shit. Ricers are wannabe bolt on idiots . Non-Ricers are project tune cars more that bolt on crap. Don't fucking matter which car is faster. If you think your all hardcore and shit with your fucking car then go top a NASCAR or a F1 car.

well lesson learned....never fuck with a T5....

@djskitzy74 ...I'm not pissed? Facts are hard to swallow sometimes... clearly in this case. you're super volvo win wasn't really that super when it's put in perspective... once again, GTR's are another class of car.
