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.

Do you own a 718 GT4?
