Just awesome! Besides his lack of ability to shift!

I might be biased but the stock exhaust sounds amazing not to mention closest to a F1 race car.

I don't think id ever actually get an exhaust on the car as I do like the way it sounds stock, but if i was to get one it'd most definitely be the quicksilver exhaust.

Love how fast that thing gets up on the power after upshifting. Oh, and the sound ain't bad either!

Yep, gotta say I prefer stock as well.

But thanks for the vid -- always fun to see the car out being enjoyed!

While I agree this guy isn't exactly Ayrton Senna, what could he do(besides better heel & toe downshifts) to improve his shifting technique?

I don't think it's a lack of skill, he's just not shifting fast enough. Other than the fact that he doesn't even rev match down shift

Maybe he was just taking a leisurely drive.

Pretty painful video to watch truthfully. Almost seems like he's never driven the car before. He works the gear box slow and as already said there's no rev matching. I've had both straight pipes and stock exhaust on my car. I enjoyed the straight pipes for some time ( this video does them no justice) but after a while you realize it's just a lot more noise and it just doesn't sound as good as stock, hence the reason I went back.
