All his videos are the same, he is full of superlatives but never really adds any insight into the what the car is really like to drive.

jethros drivetribe video starts to paint the picture - the 4.0 is a game changer over the 991.1.

I think he could have dropped AP's name a few more times in this.

Of the reviews I've seen so far, this one was the worst. Just distracting for the most part. "What are you doing??"

We need to view part two before making any judgment about his review.

The Dutch review drove a manual, he said don't bother with the manual.
Walter said he has 7 old cars and likes manual but on the track the PDK is much better.

What a car, what positive reviews just awesome again. Well done AP

Am I watching 991.1GT3 reviews? Same enthusiasm which only means that gen.1 is similarly great car.

Is it just me feeling some anxiety about the new motor? I have gen. 2 on order but wouldn't like to be disappointed again.
Sleepier material in the pistons- means softer? Throttle bodies with some plastic flaps- some motors (BMW and Porsche) have choked already with it in the past :/

The slippery material is a coating inside the cylinders. The pistons are a very strong forged material.
