Maybe if he drop some weight with a haircut and a shave the laptimes would be a bit better. Excellent vid nonetheless

Little known fact: Manly beards help decrease laptimes with their epicness.

I hate watching these kinds of videos. Makes the wait painful, lol.

Killer video can't wait to get mine.

A car than can put such a huge grin on the face of someone who races all the time has got to be special!

I had the impression that the pro-con dialogue between the presenters was scripted and designed to illustrate that this car is about fun and not practicality or luxury, not to represent their personal opinions.

If you mean at 0:25 that's a BMW (1-series, I think) and those are angel-eyes.

Gotta love them...but if it makes you feel any better...while we get them on the GTS high spec version in Australia, I also paid $42000 on road....so we pay a hefty premium on you guys...

That would be the OEM JDM/EDM 86 headlights.

Conversion will cost you around 1200 per side, if I remember correctly.
