Drove the darkside yesterday: :naughty2:






Overall, the Volvo is a lot more work to drive quickly, but I don't mind!

You say it's a lot more of a hand full, is that because of the fwd and the torque the car makes?
And is the volvo faster or do they match eachother quite well performance wise?

As expected, the BMW likes to turn with the front wheels a lot more than the Volvo. The Volvo likes to get turned with the brake more so. The Volvo has a little more power than the Z3 I drove, however the Z3 weighs significantly less. Z3 also has a much shorter wheelbase which I'm sure helps. Overall, I'm still a Volvo person. :D

Back from Pocono, of course not without controversy.

Finished P1 on Saturday. Sunday was very close battle...crossed the finish line nearly side by side, car contact, etc. They disallowed our finishing position for Sunday. Watch the in-car video below and you be the judge:

But it was a rather optimistic move from your side... 8)
