Looking forward to it.

Do you use rotten eggs between takes to keep the frown on your face?

Duuuude.

You're harshing my buzz...

After the criticisms from episodes 1 and 2, episode 3 looks promising. Hoping for a clearer distinction between serious criticisms and sarcasm, if any. I see attempts to bring fanboys down to ground level. BUT. Dat sir say it's keeper...

Make no mistake there will be humor and sarcasm but this is definitely is 100% more serious along with entertaining. More content less talking.

Even with its shortcomings, it's a keeper. I've heard of a lot of these problems on many cars such as brake fade. At the end of the day, it's still won so many awards its not even funny. It's IS a great car. It's NOT the best car. Can't please em all lol.

Yeah, that was my conclusion after my test drives. I wasn't blown away by it (nor was I expecting to be) but everything felt pretty good and nothing felt too objectionable. Which, as critical as I am of cars, is quite an achievement. :thumbsup:

This video looks promising! Nice work!

Hope it comes out good. Stock brakes cannot handle any heat that is for sure, not surprising though. But you cant please them all.

Mr.Jay 04-16-2013 02:53 PM

This lok like a much more indepth and serious video. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into it cor sure. Looki g forward to it.

Btw I agree stock pads aren't great

I am thoroughly disappointed.

Probably when the final product is released you will get more of that.
