Those dodgy lads on the other AE took the Black Series for a run.

Gave them 2 minutes.  NFI.  Pretty much unwatchable. Who loaned them the car?

They actually drive it 3 or so minutes in - it's just time killer with a few interesting bits, car is a Supercar Club pony.

Not sure Harris was having a good day. My S65 with 275 rear tyres has a higher power to rubber ratio than the C63, and I'm sure there are other cars too that would beat it too.

The guy is a wanker of the highest order.

He can't hold a candle to Clarkson, he's usually wrong plain and simple, he's not clever or funny, and he's not even a very good driver, nor does he have good ideas, in fact, this whole thing re power/rubber is stupid.

Grip = Safety. To try to introduce risk for fun, in the modern nanny states of political correctness is just typical tabloid journo bull shit.  :thumbsdown:

I like him - usually. He nails the real drivability of a car better than most and he describes those aspects of a car that are interesting to me in a way that puts me in the car with him. I'm interested in his opinion of a car, not how entertaining he is. I couldn't care less about his driving skill.  This one was a real lapse though - no argument there.

I think I just hate almost all journos. I'll concede he has done some ok reviews. But all his ferrari stuff is so so.
