Lol... Maybe I'm old in my head. But I'm not too far off these guys generation-wise.

Most surprising reveal from this series of vids, discussed in detail in the second; he's calling straight BS on the Aventador SV's sub 7 min ring time, based on these tests at Thermal.

Confirming the other full review thread, Viper ACR is very impressive as a track weapon; and GT3RS is definitely the best the all 'rounder.

If by smoked, you mean they put it up in their d-bag vape pipes; yes, that's apparent.

Not sure I would call that the "most surprising reveal" because it's absolute conjecture with zero relevance......you can't call BS on SV ring time by comparing one's laps at Thermal?

I think they know they are d-bags and make fun of themselves. I think it's a pretty cool and entertaining way to review cars. I can appreciate Chris Harris and I can appreciate these goofballs.

Fair enough. But the thrashing the ACR dealt the Lambo SV in these vids does at least raise an eyebrow considering the ACR was 12+ seconds behind the Lambo at the ring.

This is a vid of lambo doing the sub 7 second ring:

Guys I really don't mean to offend anyone on here but you cannot put Thermal laps at 105F ambient temps and not setup suspension etc and guy that owns his own race car/ pay driver up against a factory set up car with 1.5 laps worth of 100 octane fuel, potentially deleted emissions options etc and a REAL pro driver told "break seven minutes or you walk home to italy"

That's like some slow pitch softball guy that is the best player on your sunday league team trying to play against MLB All-Stars


Face it- different tracks favor different cars.
Face it- they are not a race team and don't know how to set up the cars- the ACR still had all the fender vents in place! Was probably not even at track ride height.

It is representative of relative speed but other than the drag races (for comparison purposes) thermal laps and ambient temps etc all vary greatly when it's some dudes street car that's been launched 50 times to "drop the panties"

I'm not a fan of the style these guys address the camera but he's right about a few things-

Lap times are BS- (including theirs by the way!)
Manufacturers cheat up the cars
The viper is amazing on track for what it costs
The speciale is overrated in regards to performance
GT3RS is an awesome all around car
675LT is the fastest launching car you can get below 918/P1 etc

Great show, initially found host annoying but he grows on you. And he does some very high production value vids.

It is pretty amazing how Ferrari can keep churning out underperforming cars (compared to their peers) and still keep the mystique and incredible resale.

These guys don't take themselves too serious....
They have a ton of fun....
Are not beholden to any manufacturer.....
Run what they brung..........no secret setups to alter lap times.....
And they are getting a lot of attention......

Like many have said here........if you don't like them, don't watch.....
