Very good review, glad Randy Pobst got to give us his feedback, he is a great driver.

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!

Agreed, but it's safe to say a lot of people will.

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 noticed the same thing. It doesn't lend him a lot of credibility although the video is definitely entertaining.

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.
