Yeah. You're missing a sense of humour.

[Mad-Dog]

I like Harris, seems a genuinely nice guy and is quite easy to listen to and gives average joe a sense of how good a car is

Don't see why people dislike him so much

[eatthis]

did i misread the weight of the gtr? i thought it said 1250 kg

What is supposed to be funny?

[keithlou]

i enjoyed that, but then i got bored at about 8 mins or so, sort of expected results...
he rates the re050 in the wet, while most people slag them here haha, maybe it's the car

What exactly are you meant to have missed?

You posed a question "am I missing something?"

It is a review of two similar cars on a racing circuit.. by Chris Harris - a car journalist?

What did you expect from that video?

[Liam Type-R]

Why use a wet track? How can he get a proper feel for either. Would you choose a wet day to test drive a car?

Yeah i liked it but the back felt a bit twitchy when i touched the accelerator a bit too hard out of a bend. :crazy:

Because that happened to be the weather when his mate's company had the track hired for a trackday and Nissan and Porsche gave him the cars.

[Liam Type-R]

Well i wouldnt of bothered, though if you drive fast in the wet, seems the 911 is the one for you.

what are you talking about?
the only difference between wet and dry is the amount of grip the handling isnt effected much ie they behave similer in the wet or dry. everything just happens faster in the dry.

i actually really like that review theres no silly set pieces or daft explosions its just a review

[Liam Type-R]

It comes down to tyres on a wet track.

Taking a 'track pack' car around a wet track, you can tell if its better then the normal one can you? Driving around it quite a bit slower then you would if dry and pushing it.

Then 2 cars the same day on a wet track the one with better wet tyres wont feel a bit better?

He said it felt a bit twitchy, why wouldnt it.

[Mart]

Yea Chris Harris you dick sort the f**king weather out. How dare you book a date well in the future to make this video and the UK weather decide to rain.

Not the mention that these two powerful cars happen to have some of the most sophisticated 4WD systems money can buy

so you can push the limits in the dry but not in the wet?

you reach the limit sooner in the wet than the dry but it behaves in a similer way (thats called handling btw) when the adhesion limit is reached

[Liam Type-R]

If i drive in the dry i am more likely to oversteer, in the wet understeer. But thats just an example of my fwd car. Sure its not as simple as the same thing happening only quicker or slower depending on conditions.

Oversteer in a fwd car in the dry?

[Liam Type-R]

Well i have had the arse of the car start to come around on me without coming off the accelerator on a bend.

should of been like everyone else and said how great it was.
