Even if that was true,he should realized that there is no way that these "vents" play any significant role in controlling body roll. That either he misunderstood, or they gave him some nonsensical marketing bullcrap to sell.

I understand why they do this, the changes to the car are minimal. But these claims are really too much.

Funny by the way, how some reviewers say there is a huge difference compared to earlier models (yeah, your butt dyno can detect a 5hp difference, and you can feel the difference in smoothness/graininess/whatever, all compared to a car that you drove for an hour 2 years earlier in a different place). And other say they can't feel even the slightest difference.

I don't think so. The same guy is Javier Mota's video. The same car (or one with a very similar license number) as in this video is in TestDrivenTV's video. Javier Mota and and Redline Reviews both say the test was in Ojai, CA. All four videos were published between 9/23 and 9/29. Meaning the guy was likely running an organized press event for youtube reviewers in Ojai. He should have been prepared better.
