YMMV though.

You're preaching to the choir in some ways. I've had the pleasure of driving an AP2 pretty often, including driving and instructing in one at the track. (I've also been a passenger in an AP1 spinning at hogpen at VIR, for whatever that's worth lol). It's not really feasible or advisable for a new, modern coupe to match the raw feel of a 20 year old convertible, but it's not really what the video was about. The video just shows that a similar/better prepped CR is slightly slower than a 2nd gen BRZ around Chuckwalla. I found it entertaining and somewhat surprising, figured others might enjoy.
