It cracks me up when they actually comment on what they're doing right then 'oh wow, the turn in, the grip is just exceptional...' as they're running through a corner, but they're going so slow a Camry could get around them on the outside.

I assume because it's difficult to drive full out and speak in a a cohesive manner at the same time. Sliding makes for good TV. Look at Top Gear/Grand Tour and even Chris Harris. I think it's fun to watch haha.

As far as I know. Jethro mentions the Anglesey International version - the other three versions are much shorter with lap times tens of seconds shorter (too different to be confusing):

I found these reviews worthless. They hardly provide any information that I don't know.
I know the specs, I know it is fast, it sounds good, it has grip, the steer is precise.
For me, I want to know how this new car feels compared to the .1GT3, .1GT3RS, and other competitors. Why should I choose .2GT3 over the .1GT3, RS, AMG GTR or whatever.
So far I feel it is not a game changer comparing to the last GT3, comparison is hardly mentioned. When the 991.1 GT3 is out, every reviewer kept saying 'this is miles ahead of the 997 GT3'.....
Car reviews don't need to look like those Xhmee or JWWWWWW vlogs. What they did is just state the specs, drive and praise, same comments, same wording, different cars..

But Chris Harris actually gives you plenty of video of him driving the car hard. He knows when to shut up and drive the car. Some of these guys can't seem to do either. Why shoot video at all if you're not going to actually show the car doing what you say it can do?

That Carfection video guy should pay everyone who watched his video for his time. He basically said nothing but 'this car is awesome' while puttering around and providing nothing of substance. I want that part of my life back.
