Awesome car. Love the blue RS as well. Recently saw another video of Magnus driving around downtown LA in the old 911.

But Matt Farrah.... Not a fan....

LOL I thought I was the only one! Yeah, personally I think that Matt Farrah just sounds like he has such a massive ego sometimes. I do usually like the cars featured though.

Nice car, and I like Magnus Walker. Haha.

Love the car. Hate the review.

It should be obvious to anyone with half a brain that this car is not meant for little dainty hill roads. This is a full blown circuit car. If he's so intent on reviewing cars up in the Azusa hills he should stick with cars that do well in AX, since he has no idea how to drive a high powered car even on the highways.

I miss the GT2.

Tracking it at TH with mooty and friends really made me a believer. It is not a TT with some add ons. It is a GT3 with a turbo and slightly more weight. Best part was cruising back to SF from TH. GT2 is highway king!

So happy people share my thoughts. He can't drive for anything, his automotive knowledge is.... Meh and worst of all the the dialogue. No charisma, which is something every TV host needs to stand out and survive ( No, cheesy flat black sunglasses are not charismatic)

Side rant: I'm a huge Sienfeld homer. The ripoff from his show, "Comdeians in cars getting coffee" is corny.

Thx nick she's fun and I don't think they video was meant to be too serious or anything like that They knew the roads were not going to be good for testing it out in full... Although at least it didn't bite anyone and does actually work. Been daily d'ing her and even in that form she's a breeze to drive European Car did some proper figure 8 testing etc and we've got some other stuff planned. Even on track two journalists spun her

Glad you like the car and take the video with a grain of salt I don't think it was meant to be serious

Nah, I didn't take the video that seriously. Don't take my comment too seriously, I was really just responding to The Greek's comment regarding Matt Farah with a general comment, not one meant for this video in particular. Was still a great car. Has it ever been featured on SpeedHunters or the like?

Without regard to who is behind the wheel on any GT2 test video (and think about every one you've ever watched), or for that matter, anyone who has ever ridden in mine, you see the exact same facial expressions of amazement followed by uncontrollable giggling and ear to ear grins. That is the effect a GT2 has on people (self included). I couldn't ask for much more out of a car.

This was my exact reaction for my first time driving the GT2RS. From the passenger seat it was more of a slightly worried smile lol

What's PDK? Is that some sort of sedative or muscle relaxer?
