Damn, saving this to watch later. Looking forward to Chris Harris' review though.

 

OK just watched it and wow, the car is incredible and wow, wtf was he saying?!

 

Horrible review and the filming is all over the place.

 

One of the most disappointing, anticipated car review yet.

If you had a chance to drive the P1 or been given the opportunity, you would think autocar could have tried a bit harder.

 

Some would suggest he might have been trying too hard.

ER

 

I am so damn tired of this as well. People put a car into some lurid powerslide as some supposed illustration of how great it handles. I had a friend in high school, he would make his '77 Grand Prix do the same thing. A great handling car, I assure you it was not.

Please everyone, stop it. We don't need tire smoke to convey the excitement of driving the car, if you've done your job correctly.

 

Thanks for the post! Added To homepage.

 

Jesus christ, the negativity on here! Be happy, you just got to see the brand new P1, spanked around a track. I can agree to an extent, it wasn't the best of reviews, but compared to what's out there on YouTube (90% shit), I would be god damn happy I got to see this video without even paying a cent.

I don't see how some of you can criticize Chris Harris. I for one, think that his reviews offer the absolute perfect combination of factual information, opinions, performance testing (often, not always, timed laps) and entertainment (drifting). What's wrong with offsetting the balance of the car and exploring its limits, on a track? I find CHs car control simply impressive, and most definitely entertaining. It's not like he's trashing cars (which I absolutely hate see people doing...), he's simply making the cars dance around a bit, on track. The F12 test had a bit much of it, but otherwise his videos are great!

Try loosen up a bit guys, it's not always about lap-times or being faster. Hit that PSM, TC(+SC) OFF (I know there are plenty of 997 GT3 owners here...)DSC, or ESP button once in a while, or switch that Manettino all the way to "Commit Suicide Training" and pretend you're 12 years old. Be happy! If anything, it would make you a better driver, and the experience could potentially save your ass, while exploring limits on track.

 

For some reason this car has become the hater dump. This review wasn't very detailed, more of an ode. Every review doesn't need to have NASA level statistics and insight. If he had said that the car sucked, this crew would have hooted and applauded.

 

I didn't watch the review, so I can't comment on its quality.

But I've grown weary of people drifting cars as a show of -- what, I'm not sure. No one drives that way unless they are in a sprint car or ice racing or rallying. It proves nothing.

I've done plenty of drifting on snow covered pavement and it is definitely fun. But I don't need to see a guy in a quarter million dollar car, hanging the tail out with the tach bouncing off the rev limiter for me to appreciate how good that car is. All I can think of the whole time is, "There goes a thousand dollars worth of tires."

I saw a drifting demo at Road America once. After about five minutes I decided I'd seen all I needed to see. *yawn*
