All right, so it looks like your car underneath, behind the front wheels, does NOT have rounded aerodynamic plastic “veins” that look like this:

I was wondering if the video could be any smaller or shorter.

Jeez guys.

Maybe he’s trying to enjoy his car or do what he can for us in unfavorable weather conditions. Posts like these are a disincentive for him (or others) to be generous enough to give us their time. He gave us a YouTube “short,” which is just that - a short.

@fxz — Thanks for taking the time.

THE ONE TO BUY AND HOLD. Such a fantastic car! No silly oversized wing. No over inflated sense of itself like the 4RS. Just pure and simple joy.... Congrats! Probably the best Pcar in the whole line up at the moment

So Spring arrived in EU,
the car is really really liveable absorbing bumps very well, better fuel efficency than GT3 , a car you can daily commute,

exhaust sings without 4RS drone,
oem valve closìng at 2krpm (don't remember the 4RS) is a pity , i ordered the Cargraphic valve bypass control oem/slways open

As said the undulations are an issue for all 718 architetture but an analogic plus on the SRS , veeery easy drifting all over the place

Thank you for your further comments.

Notwithstanding your comment about how easily the car drifts, how would you comment on the road-holding ability of the car? How is the grip in situations where you are not trying to drift the car but to maximize speed around the inside of a corner?
