Amazing sounding car but the owner has watched too many fast & furious movies to hold the steering wheel like that, especially at that kind of speed. Also, he needs to practice those launches. But the car itself, looks and sounds amazing!
Very odd as you say. The car sounds incredible and also seems to have a width small enough to use on a twisty narrow road. And it fits 3 people, great packaging.
@pedrod5819 So said Pedro from Portugal, who joined the youtube 12 years ago and likes putting comments there since then. Also likes filming bridges while driving, especially the big ones.
Actually given this car's accelerator pedal has been described as needing the touch of Lionel Messi's foot, I think it's quite a challenge keeping the revs and dumping the clutch just right. The first takeoff was very good though. She accelerates so smoothly off the line. As good as any RWD could do.
@@srinitaaigaura The car is fine with high rev launches. They were spinning the tires through second when the test drivers were giving journalist rides in CA this month
I am thankful the owner drives the hell out of the car, but what the fuck is with that hand position. Dude, put it at 9 o'clock. This isn't some Dodge Charger
@@marklittle8805 No. Anything that is likely to break traction and have the rear end step out is more likely to be recovered with 9 and 3 under some sets of circumstances, but it certainly isn't a requirement
@@marklittle8805 Absolutely you better be ready to react. But your reaction speed isn't effected by your hand position. In fact, in some cars you can for sure spin the wheel lock to lock faster with just a single palm on the wheel, almost as if you had one of those steering knobs that were popular in the 1950s. The 9 and 3 thing isn't about reaction speed. It's about superior precision and control for inputs that are unlikely to require more than 180-degrees in either direction. You better be ready to react any time you risk losing traction regardless of hand position. If you're flying around a road course well, you're near the limit of traction a lot, regardless of your horse power level. My 192-hp (at the crank) Exige moves around A LOT on the track. You've got to be so ready that you're actually EXPECTING it to happen, and in fact USING a little slip intentionally to help rotate the car.
It's equivalent to 7th gear. The regular 6th can hit the same 240 mph Vmax as the F1. But the touring 6th goes way beyond 300 mph, so it's over geared for cruising on the road. I still think it can pull despite that. The owner must have backed off.
The car is normally a 5spd. Most drivers have optioned an extra long 6th gear for cruising. It’s top speed in that gear is technically 226mph, but they only know because they legally have to test it for ABS programming. The 6th gear isn’t there for top speed in this car.
