RE: Chris Harris video: RS 4.0 vs C63 Black vs M3 GTS
Discussion
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.

The Porsche does it for me - way, way in front of the others.
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.
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.

Full harness and three pointer? WTF?
Chris are you making up for that Macca ride?
Without the inertia reel done-up, the no-belt buzzer rang and ruined the incar audio. Chris are you making up for that Macca ride?
Excellent video BTW. Very well shot with what I imagine are relatively limited resources.
