Motor Trend video Review
I'm new to the forums, have been lurking around for a few months but never signed up. Saw this video review on Youtube and wanted to share it, sorry if it is a repost.

Excellent review. Another solid proof that we are looking at modern day classic car here.
I liked his point: Guys, don't overtune this car, don't spoil it! |

I really like this guy, really animated, but I watched some more episodes of this show and he doesn't seem to like criticizing any of the cars he drives. Always very positive.

I like the end part where its driven on the track. Car seems to turn in great plus the rear end steps out so controlled in every single video i have seen. Im curious about brake fade though.
