The guy probably spent the same it costs to buy a used gallardo on the volvo anyway - so he has gallardo performance for gallardo money without gallardo style lol


i was thinking the same thing....would rather have the lambo

Gallardo 'style'?
No no no, Porsche 911's have style, lambo's are the kind of things schoolkids and footballers dream of, if that's your 'style' then you can keep it!

Nic, we had a good discussion a mear few hours before this, if I thought you were sitting there chuckling away it might be comical, but given your attitude in the LET post all yesterday,m your not sitting there chuckling, I can see the steam still vapouring from your ears.

If you really want to believe a 700bhp LET is as good as a 5.7 (LS1?) forced induction jobbie, then you go for it.

As said, 180mph vs 190mph? Common sense anyone? The faster one at top end will pull away??????? Or am i missing something?

R1 also short shifts plenty of times, in fact, he goes form 4th to 6th straight away.

So yeah, that old nearly 6 litred powered Corvette engined volvo is impressive.

You keep those vauxhall blinkers on just like you flamed those for brand snobbery yesterday. Your just as bad.

Good vid though JR!!!! Volvo, made by machines, driven by the dummy One impressive herse though
