Embargo, schmembargo, says this guy.

ah now that I've watched it he says "we are embargoed from driving impressions until next week" so there you go, we know when to hit the refresh button on YouTube.

That video isn't from the press event since he borrowed that car from some owner.

No sign of Matt Farah with The Smoking Tire. Honestly, his is the only review I'm looking forward to. I know he'll wring the car out and talk about any deficiencies he finds
Throttle House, eh? You donā€™t like Thomas and James? Matt Farah is always good but those dudes are way better now. And Carlos Lago and Alistair at Edmunds are underrated IMO.

Yeah, Throttle house is definitely on the top of my list, along with TFL. I enjoy Straightpipes as well, but they don't get into as much detail.

I havenā€™t given Throttle House a fair shake. I like Farah because heā€™s no bullshit and knows cars. Weirdly he reminds me of me. Fat, bald and opinionated. I feel like he and i could go into a room together and have a deep meaningful conversation about cars

Correct. But thereā€™s some decent pulls in there if you watch. And heā€™s got some good points and fairly knowledgeable about the GTPE as well.

And to all of those that say the GTs quit at 60mph - Kiss my sweet ass after watching them digits flip in the video ?

You need to. Farah is good but in a different way. The magic behind TH is their ability to be very entertaining but very technical. And actual lap times at a very technical track along with drag races. Itā€™s next level for YouTube reviews because most are Schmucks driving around blathering inaccuracies. Go check the MME 4X TH video and youā€™ll see.

You must have seen something I didnā€™t.

Never saw him accelerate much past 60 and it was significantly slowing the acceleration at that point. The few times he went over 60 the video blurs the speedo.

Whatā€™s the time stamp where you saw a 60+ pull?

Weren't they the ones who were sitting weirdly?
