Looks like Ferrari got tricked by English EVO to help mac sell boosted 570 with 600 badge and wing...different exhaust pipes etc. Anyone knows without Pista and Gt2 RS picture on front page who will bother to watch? They mention Pista is not exciting ... just same old 488 +10% meaning 488 was not exiting or that great but most 488 reviews give it superior driver experience than mac 570 and even hero 720. To say a Ford Fiesta is better to drive than a Gt2rs is icing on the cake! Oh jeez enough already EVO! 600 still same engine more boost, bad sound lots of turbo lag down low just like 570 and with still dead feeling brakes so now they say...hooray the winner! Funny to watch that really. This will have the mac fanboys in a huge frenzy now hahaha! I think I will go trade my 2rs for Fiesta

Does it really rain this often in the U.K.? It seems like 75% of the car videos i watch from the U.K. show the wipers going. The place is like Oregon.

I had a 570s and know exactly what you mean about dead brake feel. Unfortunately my 3rs with ccb feels exactly the same, you have to mash brakes as hard as possible to the full extent to get it to stop. If I had to stop on a dime, I wouldn’t be able to. Turbo s brakes felt 10x better.

Anytime someone steps on Ferrari’s Bruno Maglis it makes me smile. Aristocratic wine and cheesers..and don’t stand to close to their tailored Ferrari tent with your Mac Gear either!

Something doesn’t sound right on that. The pccbs on my GT3 are incredible. They stop on a dime. Maybe get them checked.

Wait, so you are saying actual experience behind the wheel matters? I guess i can’t bag on those Hellcats anymore.

Hellcats are hilarious- like a weekend trip to Cabo San Lucas. They make you yell and scream and there is a slight concern about a dirty feeling you have but its mostly safe if you dont combine alcohol

He definitely needs to get his brakes checked.
