Looked and sounds great, but that is not the fast way around a road course. Is the guy showing off the over steer, tire spinning or handling or hitting on him buddy? All the over steer drama looks and feels great, but does nothing for fast times on a road course. Every video seems the same now, go to a road course, smoke tires on every turn and that equals fast lap times.

+1 for that, more grip,less time.Spinning tires and losing traction will never equal a best lap time.Losing grip and traction is a curse word in racing.

the car can handle though. After reading how the M3 was better on the road I was extremely happy with the result after selling my GT3. the difference is so minimal that drivers whom have not been on the track would not probably know the difference.

Why are you guys talking about lap times ? It's clear the guy knows how to drive, and any fool can see he's not trying to put in the fastest lap, he was just having some tail sliding fun.

Just making a clarification between looking like your driving fast and really driving fast...to me both are fun to do...so take a deep breath.
