How hard does one need to try and justify whatever they're trying to justify...
The thing is the best that ever happened to humanity since the dinosaurs roamed the Earth!

Now I know 9,000rpm is a lot.Wash your hair,shave,and refrain from picking your nose in somebody elses 250K car.Other than that I liked it.I got to drive an F-50 GT-1 two days in a row once.It was an F1 car with windows.Unforgettable.

You guys sound like cranky 80 year olds.
Good video. Living in an urban area, I could relate to the frustration about not being able to really use these cars as intended on a daily basis.

They basically say the 991 GT3 is amazing in almost all aspects. The only negative point they make is that it is almost impossible to get a "feel" of the capability of the 991 GT3 on urban roads in America because the car's handling limits are so, so, so high. It's also hard to consistently experience the scream of the engine at 9000rpm, because there simply are not many places in a big city to truly keep your foot buried to the throttle without risk.
This is not news to me. The only real place to experience the full capabilities of the car is on a race track/circuit. And when you do, it is GLORIOUS. In the city, I accept that it is simply a VERY FAST street car that won't be able to stretch its legs regularly because of the very high performance envelop it is capable of.
But that's part of the appeal of this car for me. Even though I go the track only a few times a year, the knowledge that I own one of the best/most capable sports cars satisfies my heart and mind immensely.

Seriously question what /Drive is doing. Are they going to do 3 minute videos to promote /Drive+ or are they going to keep doing real videos with some length and content because no one cares about the 3 minute videos? Their business model sucks.
