The Chris Harris thread

[Chapppers11]

Not much of an effort with the C63. Doing it a disservice if anything.

The thing with the AMG from what ive read is that its a very blunt instrument that goes in a straight line quickly,after that other cars are better to drive.
He also mentioned the tiny fuel tank that does 16mpg so its annoying.
I guess when you can spend 80k on one of these its a bit of a let down in some areas.

Agreed - I found the Inside Quattro this week more interesting, even with JF's dull droning, "I'm reading a script" voice.

 

[JD]

Thought this might work well in here too;

[Ian_182]

That P1 is such a game changer it will take years to better it...

 

[RDH]

Cba linking the new one but it is a belter.

Can't think of an achievable car I want to own more than the new GT3. Unbelievable.

 

[jam.]

Well I'll do it then...

 

[Eddie.]

Good video.

I noticed that the Aston's speedo isn't working though:

He was said he was doing 80mph through that corner.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Don't the Aston's speedos work the other way round, ie:

 

[Eddie.]

Aye, as has been pointed out to me elsewhere, I think it's because the clocks are bit funky.

My bad.

 

[Jonnio]

Think he mentioned it in the vid too

 

[Matt W]

Think it would be the GT3 for me. That noise.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Easy decision for me.

Can't stand AMG mercs, and I don't like Astons either.

Porka for me

 

[ben_p]

Would love a BS63!

 

[Mr Burns]

Good video, although I doubt I'd buy any of those if I had the money.

[Ben]

Such a good video, I love how many times he says 'a new thing' when on the track. Brilliant.

 

[Al_G]

Amazing car!

 

[Chapppers11]

The Turbo dump when he first floors it on the road! Amazing.

 

[Johnc172]

That just shows how poor top gears review was, great vid

 

[jam.]

It's just a new thing!

brilliant vid.

 

[Crybert]

It does indeed. Top gears review just didn't really wow me. Chris' review makes it seem so f**king awesome!

 

[Mr Burns]

I'm not usually interested in exotic supercars but that thing is really special.

 

[thenorth]

the acceleration 19:00 minutes is awesome red suv is over taking him and then wooooooosh

 

[sbridgey]

Now that's another awesome review from Chris and that car is just sublime.

 

[Tony Hunter]

When he floors it on the road, did anybody else notice that people carrier thing in the side window, it just shot backwards,

 

[Lal B3N]

Insane car.

Kind of sad knowing i will probably never get to have a go in one.

 

[Clart]

Brilliant video. I so want one.

 

[Martin.]

What a machine.

 

[Sam@NP]

Ive has the pleasure of watching these at Millbrook. Mighty impressive machines.

 

[Matt_90]

A car that will change all supercars over the next decade! It makes the Porsche look rather peasant like in my opinion. I think alot of manufactures have some catching up to do, awesome review from Harris as per usual makes Top gear look like a CBBC program.

 

[ukaskew]

The people carrier moment was a rare insight into just what that much power means in real life, it was travelling a fair bit quicker than the P1, then it instantly went backwards as soon as Harris hit the throttle. Bonkers.

at how many minutes roughly is this? Missed it!

 

[Jonnio]

19 mins, lol at his face when when he lets off!

Edit: All hail the P1 face.

Legend!

 

[Waitey]

The guy from Maclaren is so likeable.

 

[The Boosh!]

The guy from Maclaren is so likeable.

I thought that. Would love a pint with him lol.

FUARK!!!!

The only thing Ive seen more impressive than the Veyron vs R8 Chris HArris video!!

4:50 onwards:

Veyron impresses me more than the P1 TBH

 

[Advikaz]

I thought that. Would love a pint with him lol.

He's a good bloke, used to work with my old man.

Chris Goodwin his name is, raced an F1 for Parabolica with Ayles @ Le Mans, beautiful car as well.

Problem with comparing Top Gear's review to this is that Top Gear is on TV. They need ratings and to get ratings they need to attract people who aren't petrol heads too - so going into full depth about the car like Chris does just isn't going to work.
Chris' reviews are great and very interesting - but mainly to us who have a genuine interest in cars!
