Good review! Seems to me that Chris doesn't seem to LOVE it. When he shouts like in the F40 is when he LOVES it, but at least he smiles and laughs which is good. But I think he was having more fun and shouting more in the 997.2 GT3RS vs Camaro review and 991 GT3 RS review.

TPMS showing around 2 bar for all tires at 6:55. I wonder if the new N1s run at lower pressures...

Agree he seemed a bit subdued compared to his .1 GT3 vid. Also the .1 GT3 vid preceded the existence of the .1 RS, which he clearly loves. I bet his .2 RS vid will be more exuberant.

Maybe he hasn't gotten over the .1 RS .... didn't he once say "RS is a RS"??

Still makes more even more excited.

1. his .1 review was done when he wasn't working for Top Gear.

2. The .1 from the 997.2 was a much bigger change to discuss than the 991 facelift. Lost hydraulic steering, gained RWS, no more Mezger, PDK only, bigger chassis. So way more philosophy to dissect.

I don't even have to watch.
I bet he drifts around while grinning like a monkey and then claims it's 'mega'. The only thing that changes is the car. . .

So true. I've always said that he's good in small doses, but his schtick gets old quick, particularly on a long show like Top Gear. And the constant drifting nonsense...

These reviews are all getting pretty redundant. Awesome car. Great motor. Got it.
