I agree. Can't quite put my finger on why.

Well I was about to remark about the quality and content of the video!

What is missing? This isn't a bloody Top Gear programme with endless production budget etc!

If the video folk are reading, what camera was used to film it with please?

Great work. More please.

I really enjoyed that.

It is just simple entertainment for those of us who like driving.

Longer videos like this (and some of the more recent EVO stuff) are almost at the length where they are actual programmes (as opposed to clips) and are a much better alternative to the crap that is supposed to be motoring television.

Thank you.

Without the inertia reel done-up, the no-belt buzzer rang and ruined the incar audio.

Once again, a damn fine video. Love the neat focus pulls early on.
The Porsche does it for me - way, way in front of the others.
Not so sure about the loon/tyresmoking stuff - now to be called Chris "Clarkson" Harris?

Did have a slight power advantage over the BMW, and I expect a considerable weight advantage over the C63 Black Serious.

Anyone got the exact power & weight figures. The RS is 500hp, and BMW about 444? I think.

Highly entertaining.

Excellent video Chris, intriguing snapshot of all 3 cars. Am envious of your driving skills!

Wales looked great, makes me want to plan a trip in the GT-R there once it stops freakin' raining...

Great video.

I saw the BMW on the M4 being taken back after the video was shot. Sounded amazing.

I'll take the AMG for the week and the GT3RS for the weekend.

Generally speaking, I'm not a Porsche bloke, They really don't float my dirigible. But, having watched this video, I totally get what Chris sees in that car. The BMW is okay, but not quite... enough for the money. The AMG is an overweight drug dealer in an expensive suit, and I'm sure will be admired by many East-end City boys. The RS 4.0, on the other hand, has been engineered. The other cars just seem to have a generally flatulent sound, with auto/dsg/boxes that divorce you from the real world, but the Porsche actually seems to have been fitted with an engine and gearbox with, well, gears.

I know the RS is Chris' own, but he just seemed more in control. Driving the car rather than just telling it where he wanted to go. Paying that sort of moolah for a motor, I would expect satisfaction, and the BMW and AMG just wouldn't give me that.

I don't care about Top Gear and Fifth Gear now. The world has moved on, but they haven't. These are unashamedly car videos for PH blokes, by PH blokes. Top stuff.

Furry muff.
Excellent video BTW. Very well shot with what I imagine are relatively limited resources.
