Thomas: “...GM’s first stab at mid-engine.”
Fiero: “Am I a joke to you?!”
...Corvair. What about the Corvair? Sure, it was rear-mounted, but the engine was still behind the driver...and of course, it was unsafe, at any speed, so they moved the engine more forward in the Fiero. It too was unsafe at any speed could just catch on fire, even at zero mph.
@@K03sport I have two Corvair . One is turbo 🙂
Yes, the Fiero was a joke.
@@K03sport rear engine is not the same as mid engined
I appreciate these unscripted dialogs. Makes it feel even more genuine and helps us connect with you.
Keep it going!
20:57 for the impatient people
God bless you
thank you ;)
Thanks bruh
You da man
Thank you
Why no mention of this channel in the main channel? I only found this because of Reddit.
And I subscribed because you can't get enough of James.
Yeah...they should probably plug their own channel in the other channel 😂
We are going to! Second vid of Jan I think
@@jamesengelsman9369 I don’t see Throttle House added in the “Channels” tab of Extra Throttle House (and vice versa). You guys should look into that!
@@jamesengelsman9369 eh I’ll sub to you.
@@arrogen2831 Sorry to say but your a week late.
Family absent....
Girlfriend absent....
Sad face turned upside down once I saw this video. Happy New Years from a proud shop owner and a car enthusiast. Keep up the good work!
Happy new year!
They are family to all of their subscribers. Funny, self deprecating, humble and fun loving these guys are just so damn likable. Thank you Thomas and James for providing all car enthusiasts a beautiful escape from the reality of our collective reality in 2020. Looking forward to 2021 with these two talented young men!
Throttle House podcast pretty pretty please!
Listening to this, its interesting to hear that we may have finally reached peak performance where going faster/quicker is no longer a benefit and just a hindrance. I know people mentioned it with the hellcat but more and more it'll be interesting how the upper end competes when performance gains are no longer enjoyable outside of a track.
I think it’s because of EVs, once that much instant speed is available in a nice yet normal consumer car, what the hell is the point of faster? Yet my Model 3 does not turn corners better than most, so let’s natter about that, ya?
Pretty much. Acceleration used to be something to experience in terms of having a beginning, a middle and an end. Now it's becoming an instantaneous thing and you have to get off the throttle only moments after you started moving. I do think it's less engaging than it used to be, even though the power is impressive in its own way. Electric cars will only worsen this trend with their insane torque.
I've heard it from Chris Harris for years now - that pure speed has become too much to be enjoyable at the high end.
Apparently that's been the case for quite a while now (as in roughly a decade)
Just a couple regular guys talking cars in a basement.
Love the regular channel and the extra is going great so far. Really enjoy both your perspectives and how your personalities gel. It feels honest and genuine which is something we are missing a lot of these days.
Having watched this episode earlier in the afternoon, and just now watched Evo's Car of the Year (Part 1), and Motor Trend's Performance Car of the Year track clips, don't fret about the lesser production values of your "extra" channel. Neither can not hold a candle to your unscripted conversation, which not only is informative, but is full of interesting anecdotes, humor and sincerity. You guys have really leapt to the forefront of automotive journalism. Looking forward all your future content. Happy New Year and best wishes for continued success!
Thanks Steven, happy new year!!
Thanks Steven!
Loving this Extra stuff! Because there was no “Extra” last year, what would be car of the year 2019?
Yes. I'd also like to know car of the year 1997 since there was no throttle then. Or house.
@@mnoovurvi lol when you say it like that maybe my question was dumb...
@@mnoovurvi im dead 🤣
@@svtweston Don't be so hard on yourself, 2019 is still pretty relevant to today. I don't know whether the guys got to test one but how about the Alpine A110 S?
@@encoreunefois1X that is a proper choice! I love that car. What about the 718 gt4/spyder?
You guys are truly awesome. The chemistry between the two of you really works. Thanks for all the entertainment this last year.
My favourite car channel by a mile.
It would be crazy if you guys flew to Europe and reviewed a GR Yaris!!
I would love to see this
To do properly crazy they should drive back from Europe in an Alpine A110.
@@ferdinandbardamu3945 Are they going to cross the Bering strait in a sports car?
I really like this podcast-style format! Would love to hear you guys talk about your car ownership experiences, which car are you listing after, which car are you seriously thinking about saving up for, which car you regret selling the most, etc.
i agree with you guys and also..
i think that Porsche is the brand of the year
literally more than half of their line up were mentioned in this video...that is a great company right there
Next year Porsche will launch at least the 992 GT3, the 718 GT4 RS & the Taycan Cross Turismo. :)
Love the idea of the new channel. behind the scenes and bloopers of videos and discussions about cars. Great idea!
Well damn gents, I didn't know it could get better but seriously these extra episodes are fantastic. Thank you.
Mach-E, over here in the UK, it’s like slang for “Maccies”, known commonly as McDonald’s.
Always makes me think of sushi maki. (That's the type of sushi in a roll, as opposed to the sushi that's just a piece of raw fish on top of rice)
@@freedbeefpontoons Mahk-ee per Thomas pronounciation. Mackie sounds better.
Well it's also an American car so it makes sense hahaha
how about "Mach-E the Stallion" perhaps? Maybe it should just be called something else horse related or find a fancy physics term related to elections/electricity. or, they should try "Mach IV" (Mach V is already taken)...
Is it because of the metric system?
This channel is exactly what I needed in my life.
What an intelligent, and real world discussion of the fantastic cars that are being engineered today! You are so right that the ultimate speed capability of the car shouldn't determine what the best car is. The enjoyment of drivability of a car, the price, and what it feels like to drive every day is the real measure of a great car. You made a really great selection for your Car of the Year!!
I love love love this Extra stuff, the back and forth quips you two have are just awesome. This, your research/knowledge, and your passion for cars is just amazing. I fully believe a “trending motorcar” network will be knocking down your door to buy your episodes some day, I just hope this channel never ends on YT. Thank you all so much, and you have Randy Probst sometimes who is just an amazing driver.
You guys are hands down my favorite reviewers. High production quality, excellent and detailed reviews, and as a team you guys are so entertaining.
So glad you created this channel. Two blokes just enjoying what they do and sharing that with us.
You guys are excellent reviewers. Not only do you know cars, but you have great chemistry and you are getting better with production quality by leaps and bounds. So happy to see where you go from here!
The GT500 Randi Probst episode was absolutely incredible. Thank you guys so much for that.
Intimate Thomas and James, subscribed!
I think we are the first two people in the comments
That would be fun to watch lol
"we're in the basement, cant say stuff like that" lmao
Ngl, fanfic is surely on the way and that James is a furry. Cute as the dickens.
Yes, the Fiero was a joke.
Thanks guys for lots of fun watching your videos. Looking forward to watch your reviews next year! Happier 2021! Stay safe, stay healthy!
I can completely relate to you on the "it's not the words you use, it's how you use them"
That gt500 hellcat video Ive rewatched like 3 times already. its beautiful and really showcases some awesome cars
also there is DEF a room for you guys to do unscripted content. Id def watch what you guys post
it's pornographic
love the way y’all approach making space to tell the stories u wanna tell abt the cars
Loved this! Really appreciate the time to hear you just discuss the vehicles. Delighted by how much I enjoyed it.
COMPLETELY agree with your Taycan take. This Fall I did a "homage" video where I compared "the pinnacle of internal combustion versus the "pinnacle" of EV. I drove the Taycan Turbo first and then got behind the wheel of a Mercedes-AMG GTR Roadster and I had the sme thoughts. The Porsche is shockingly quick, somehow super balanced, but there wasn't any theater. Especially jumping in a roofless AMG and hearing the symphony fall out the back, there's no chance for the Porsche to leave as big an impression. In any case, keep up the excellent work gents - nice to get a little "behind the scenes" look with the Extra channel
Just watched the RC-F Vs Mustang video. Nice content! Subbed :)
@@Sahidable ahh thanks!
This is lovely! Hope you keep making these videos as casual and sincere as it is!
Cause it's fun to watch and hear your opinions which you cannot mention on your main channel!
This format suits you guys. Thank you for helping us all get through this dreadful year.
You guys have 2 channels and both are good! That’s hard to do! So congrats on the new channel, you guys are killing it. Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!
You guys should start a podcast. This video was great and felt similar to a podcast. Love it!
I guessed the winner nearly from the beginning! I really enjoyed your banter and hearing your thoughts. The behind the scenes look into the test with Randy and Jason was particularly appreciated.
Enjoyed this very much gents. Keep up the great work! My father-in-law picks up his C8 Z51 convertible in a month...can’t wait for our Canadian winter to end to take it for a rip in the spring!
GUYS, I FREGGIN' LOVE YOUR CONTENT... i love this channel because you bring more of you unique human touch from car reviews... honestly... you get car culture with a fresh view... and really fun.
My wife is not a car lover, and she loves your content.
You guys are spot on about Chevy service.
I had C7 Z06 manual and I got rid of it after 3 years because the service department screwed up the car and I had no confidence in future service.
I considered having it serviced by aftermarket shops, but after thinking about it, I just decided to get rid of it.
That would be my only reservation in considering the C8 Z06 coming out.
You're taking essentially a supercar and it's getting serviced by some guy that may have attended seminars on the Vette once and mostly fixes other Chevy's.
Reputable/experienced Chevy dealer that I would trust is over an hour away, and that would be a pain in the ass.
Despite how great the C8 is, and the upcoming Z06 will be, I would most likely not be getting one...
the throttle house podcast we never knew we needed 🙏
Love you guys, you are really great and your reviews are amazing.
About the car of the year, it can be a great idea to do also a "below $50,000" car of the year video, which is something that is now relevant to most people.
Keep the good work guys and a Happy New Year!
This is fantastic content even without the cars. The dynamic between these two is historically great!
Does TH-cam decide where the commercial breaks go? Or do you tell them where to put them? Because they're timing is impeccable
You guys are so gifted and enjoyable. I feel totally educated watching your stuff.
One more thing aboot understeer. As a 22 or 23yo I almost killed myself taking a 25mph corner in my 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R specV at around 85-90mph. I waited too long to turn the wheel and I finally cut it so hard that I understeered right into a telephone pole and my brand new car was totaled. Thank God I was wearing my seatbelt.
Thank you for so much fantastic content in 2020. Great stuff---looking forward to more in 2021!
I love you guys! Incredible! Chemistry! Thank you both for being so dam brilliant! The UK needs you both! But Canada is perfect for your channel. Keep up the amazing content! Stay safe. Here's to so much more in 2021. Thank You!
I’m carrying this channel 😂🤣
One of the best car review videos this year. And I watched lots of them.
More randy and Jason in 2021? Please!
2020 Best TH-cam automobile review channel of the year: Throttle House!!👍👍 (far and away)
Love these videos . Keep them up . Really started to like just simple sitting and talking videos like it’s a smaller version of a podcast .
Great content guys! This channel would be a great place to see what goes into the making of a Throttle House “feature” video from the concept phase to the final edit. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d like to see that.
Really enjoyed this type of content. Had a great time watching both of you
Understeer is still "safer" though. It's easier to design for, and protect against, an impact from the front. More room for crumple zones, and it's a nice, easy to predict direction for airbags to protect you.
Oversteer is a crapshoot. Maybe it's a side impact, maybe it's a rear, maybe it's at a corner. Door impacts are particularly bad; if it's the door the occupant is in, there's only a few inches between the person and the skin of the car. If it's the other side, they get forced over the center console; very easy to suffer internal decapitations or spinal cord injuries.
I just bought a Kona Luxury and I'm making it Car of the Year. The runner up is my K20C2 6MT Civic. If i had more then 2 cars, there would be a third place finisher. If no snap oversteer, a front-drive can be driven harder around the track vs a setup that wants to rotate on its own. Side effect is that you can go full throttle on the front-drive, in the transitions and don't have to worry about losing the rear end since it's not doing the driving. I'd never pick an electric car, since the only people championing those cars are the one that don't know how to drive.
The video with cammisa and pobst was probably the greatest bit of automotive youtube I’ve ever witnessed.
Yes! I love this even more than the main channel!
I love this, the C8 is the first (and only) super car i’ve been in and it was absolutely amazing
With mustang mach-e they've attracted a ton of attention to the car no matter negative or positive and that is exactly what was needed 😛 Bravo Ford !
First of all I would like to say that I am so grateful for all of the great things you guys are doing. Please keep it up. You guys are awesome and I have immense respect for your opinions and informed commentary. Without wanting to sound whiney, I would really also like to make a request. That request would be to ask that you guys not let respected automakers off the hook when they make obvious blunders. You guys are so nice at times when these long established manufacturers fail miserably and it's beneath you, as demonstrated so well in this video. Specifically Porsche. I would like to preface my next statement by admitting that I have been a Porsche fanboy since I was a child and probably will remain as such for the remainder of my days and now to the point. A turbo is a turbo. This is beyond a misnomer. Why? This ridiculous label for a non-turbo vehicle (whose name could have been anything) by one of the most reputable performance brands in the business is inexcusable.
This was awesome. More of this please. Now, as for the list and as a deprived, typical American I imagine everyone is going to know exactly what I’m going to say...But my god what about the Audi RS6 Avant?! I know, it’s nothing to the rest of the world and the AMG showed it the taillights in the test but my goodness what an awesome, beautiful thing that is.
Okay, car of the year was a brilliant idea. Just like this. I already look forward to this every year from now on. An awesome run down
You guys are doing an amazing job! Not the first time I have said this, keep up the great work. The grand tour will be looking for a replacement cast soon. Lol.
We need a Throttle House Podcast! I'd listen to that!
This was an amazing video, love the open flow and hope to see more of these...
Love the concept here. Dislike the understeering C8 unless you have stock in Michelin. Track alignment isn't a solution if it creates other issues. Especially when said alignment costs $400-$600 dollars one way (each time)to have it done properly.
The C8 won in spite of its issues. Because underneath the teething problems it’s a brilliant car and a great platform thats really fun to drive. The reality is, in order to maximize performance fun in MOST cars you need an aftermarket alignment. In fact I don’t know a soul that regularly tracks or competes with a street car that doesn’t have one. Is that an excuse? No. And we came down hard on the car and GM for it. But despite the problems it’s still a really really great vehicle for the money. -Thomas
@@ThrottleHouse no mention of the model Y. It checks almost every box that you stated in the intro and not even a runner up? Tops for technology, disrupting, performance, Game changer. Can't remember all the other things you mentioned but it was the first to come to mind as you were rattling off your list of criteria
I absolutely love this video because of how you guys are just honestly having fun
I’m so glad the Shelby made it in there, the gt500 is easily my favorite car and my dream car and I am so glad it made this list, not only do I live the sound, the power, but the look is what does it for me, it looks so beautiful and it really gives off that angry look that you think of when you hear a really loud mustang. I love the mustang and I glad it made it
You two are great together, great channel!
This was amazing! I really enjoyed getting to listen to the thorough reasoning behind vehicle choices. Glad you added this channel!
And I’m James!!! 🥺🙃
You guys are the best on this platform!
Awesome job guys and great to hear so much of your thought process on it all.
Wow I'm really impressed by these guys.. True car enthusiasts with some personality and humour, bravo.
James: This is where we’re going to do the intimate stuff, with you!
Thomas: We’re in a basement you can’t say stuff like that
I laughed too hard at that
Exactly, I'm like, wait, do I need to take precautions?
Loved this! Almost like a mini podcast. Speaking of, I’d listen if you guys released a podcast. Maybe try and get on Matt’s from thesmokingtire and see how you like it?
I posted a superchat on TST podcast a while ago requesting the throttle house dudes. Farah hadn’t heard of them, Klapman made positive comments about them. Perhaps they will be on the show soon!
A year later. . .
Came in not knowing what to expect, left smiling and entertained with a better understanding of what makes a great car. Well done guys. Imma leave a sub here too!
Damn that was an enjoyable video. It’s nice to hear them talk through their decisions and explain it.
Speaking of the Grand Tour, I would love a video or series of videos where you guys do a road trip.
My criteria for Car Of The Year. A Trackable car, super fast dual clutch, unexpected 0-60 time and.... oh, it needs to have room inside for my bike. So can’t make the same choice no matter how much i like yours. The older I get the more things I need my car of he year to do. I reckon in 15 years the top priority will be “easy to get in and out of” :)
OMG, you guys crack me up! Love it!
Thank you guys for this! But my selection would absolutely be the LC500, even though I am a major fan of Porsche.
Love your show so darn much! Just two pals doing a show about cars and being funny and interesting while doing so, getting serious old top gear vibes over here... sadly in their new show the old trio seems to have forgotten that it was supposed to be about cars in the first place and not (only) about being silly and bickering and driving a caterham through madagaskar. Keep up the awesome work. Also love your sincerity.
I love this format of Car of the year, I like hearing about the honorable mentions first
Guys this format in my opinion suits you both way better. I enjoy seeing unscripted banter between you two. You guys seem so much more natural compared to your produced videos/reviews.
keep it going guys , really good move with this new channel .. even more throttle house and even more of James's jokes
I honestly cant believe I'm watching James and Thomas say a car can be too quick. We need you guys to do a special episode where you drive an F1 car.
Agreed!
GT500 may be the most powerful one but in my heart the GT350R still king.
Start every video by saying: "Welcome to: Throttle House: Raw and Uncut"
I'll collect my royalties now.
All we need is a third partner and its perfection.
Clarkson, Hammond and James would be proud
Looking forward to more content, you guys are great!
24:16 Thomas: “I WANT TO CONTROL THE REAR” .... James: 👀 .... lmao
Great content as always chaps. One recommendation/request for a future video. Track test: Thomas vs. Chris Harris in Toyota GR yaris'
Hi guys, great work as usual, keep it up!!
I didn't hear anything because I could only focus on the lamp cord. 😄
Thank you guys for the great content and also for being so good looking 😉
I really enjoy listenting to you guys just talk. Keep it up!
This is freakin amazing guys. The free-flowing conversation gives us pretty real connection 👏
Guys you gotta promote this channel, almost missed it! Found it because of Reddit - Edit: by the way nice chill content
Man I wish you guys had a show
