TheStraightPipes Spyder Review
#61
Straightpipes tried to be provocative (click bait). Then suffered backlash for an unbalanced & amateurish review. Now they are trying to unwind their mistake. I stopped watching their reviews following that episode.

Well I stopped watching'em and unsubscribed. That one review ruined their show for me just like the gearing ruined the spyder

Actually someone paid via their Patreon to have that quote on that box. I don't know how much backlash they're getting (aside from this forum), the Spyder is one of the lower viewer count videos in the last month.

It's not just the long gearing for some people who have an issue, myself included, but the gearing, along with the torque curve, and narrow power band of the NA motors that make acceleration less than desired. The 4cyl. GTS provides a better "experience". 718 seems to get through the gears a little better than previous gen, but I'd like to see a 718 4cyl vs GT4 go at it for comparison.
