Motor Trend video of GT350 is out today

[Champale]

Which means their "head to head" video with the R and Z/28 should be out later this week (hopefully).

Randy liked it. I can't wait for the comparison.

It looks like they really liked it but the numbers don't really reflect the performance they are raving about. Here is a motortrend article on the Camaro SS, 1LE, and Z/28 and the GT350 doesn't stack up very well...

On a side note, I really like Randy but motortrend has been going down hill in my eyes ever since Carlos left. It's kind of cheesy...just stick to the car stuff guys.

Head 2 Head is going to debut on November 25th according to Randy Pobst. I am EAGERLY awaiting that release.

Also looking forward to watching this video once I get some free time today.

+1 I've dropped all my subscriptions (C&D, R&T, MT, Automobile). They're all beholding to the manufacturers for ad revenue, when's the last time you read a really negative review of any vehicle,. I know there are some real dogs out there. Then add in the political references and foul language and I'll keep my money.

Exactly...if they did an honest review the manufacturer might not give them another car in the future. I like Chris Harris but I have started to notice even he has started to go down the political road. Another thing is sometimes these editors are shi$$y drivers and don't even know what they are doing behind the wheel. If motortrend didn't have Randy they would be horrible. He's the only reason I still watch them

Now that you've dropped those, order this: Grassroots Motorsports. I always seem to find something interesting in this pub.

A bit disappointing that MotorTrend and Randy used a track that makes it difficult to compare the performance of the GT 350 vs other cars. Why keep us in the dark?

Maybe the car is too good and they didn't want to embarrass the europeans....

Great vid. Well worth the watch!!

 

[Champale]

As much as I love the car and appreciate the lengthy, very positive video, it's not one of their better videos of late. The one they did of the Bentley a few weeks ago is absolutely hilarious. Jason Camisa is a truly funny host most of the time.

Drew, what's your best time at Chuckwalla for comparison?

 

[Flyboygsxr]

From the lap time thread looks like 1:59.95 is the fastest time which is only about a second quicker and that was on PZero slicks. Not a lot of exposure or lap times to compare though at Chuckwalla

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

I plan on going a couple seconds faster if we run clockwise in February, but a 2:00 time there in either direction is very quick.

I saw that lap time and am hoping they were sandbagging it a bit so the R comparison looks better. I ran a 2:03 in one of the caged 2013 GT school cars on Eibach springs and Falken Azenis. Of course it did cause three of the OEM driver front studs to pop Didn't you run a sub 2:00 in your race-prepped B2 already Drew?

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

I ran 1:59.9 out there going CCW, opposite of what they show in the video. Times either direction are very similar, however.
