Default Chris Harris - .2 RS vs. Camaro Z28

Didn't see this posted... Fun video, nice stripped .2RS

Ah hell, maybe its older, crap I don't know. But with comments like "its for the larger track day gentleman" and a big middle finger to flappy paddles.... it's worth a watch again.

Lovely! Great post. Now I'm even more excited about driving my RS again.

Live in the UK and you better learn to drive in the wet. Seems like 90% of his videos are in the rain. Have to agree with his comment about the 3.8 "being the high point" in the GT3 series.

Love the "censored" comment on paddle shifters...

Love how he can jump from shifting with his left hand to shifting with his right... drove a manual Ford Fiesta in England a few years ago and it did take a little while to get used to shifting with the left hand. Kind of fun though...

His way with words, his passion, and overall approach to appreciating vehicles on multiple levels is why I think his videos are the most watchable and entertaining.

This was sweet, and as someone else said, makes me want to take out the RS for another spin.

Off I go for some of that "delicious" fun!!

Chris Harris does the best reviews of them all, and it's just a bonus that he loves the kind of cars that we all do.

Or we just love him because he loves the same cars we own...

Have to admit though, still perplexed by his sale of his 4.0RS for a run of the mill Ferrari 599.....Maybe, just maybe it could be justified if it were a GTO, but a GTB? That was one of the few times I was like WTF with Chris Harris. Especially after all of his glowing P-Car reviews.

And the car has "flappy paddles" too. Jeezuz!

I'm sure he is still kicking himself for the financial ramifications of that trade!

He did state he got a a great offer on the car, but yeah, hard to imagine he got anywhere near what he could now, not to mention "THE" pinnacle of P-Car manuals. That chance only comes round once in a lifetime….unless you're totally loaded in which case you are on a perpetual once in a lifetime groundhog day.
