There's this thing I've noticed with ATV riders that may have some bearing on this topic: Folks driving their ATVs like they were family vans. On the trail you find tracks going around a small outcrop of rock; dodging a small hole in the trail, taking a shortcut to avoid an off-camber turn. They don't realize, or yet understand, that their ATV was designed to exactly the thing they are avoiding.
My opinion about test drives: if you suspect any part of a performance car, because the part was replaced or is suspected of failure, the car should be tested by the dealer to its limits. I will take the car to its limits, and if the part is going to fail, I want it to fail in the hands of the dealer, who can diagnose and repair the problem far faster then I can. When they drive my car like they would a Smartfortwo I suspect they fear the part will fail and don't want to be responsible. But they sure better not crash or otherwise damage my car. They need to know the limits.
That said, the videos look just fine to me. They didn't take the car to its design limits, they didn't drive it like a Smartfortwo. I think all you managed to do was alienate your primary dealer. Good luck with plan B.
