Dam right, the camera inside the car when Fernando is getting on it, you can see the torque lifting the car up, squatting the rear, that car is sick! And. The fact that it's a actual, actual learning curve to drive/shift makes that 1 of the best builds you've had on this channel!!!
@michaelcousins252610 ай бұрын
What I find myself loving from this sequential is that this one requires the clutch to shift. I understand that it would be a pain in the ass for every day city or rush hour traffic but my old school ears LOVE hearing the sound of the exhaust decel between the shifts!! Old school meets modern tech design, I love it!

@@AutotopiaLA Hey Shawn, I know you're a California kid, but an idea for a video, I'm in Whitehorse, Yukon Canada, and each summer on Father's day there's a car show up here. You'd be surprised at some of the cool rides that we have up in the north here. And that time of year it wouldn't be too cold for your brittle Cali bones. I think you'd enjoy the cars and the people a lot.

We hope he makes it to our neck of the Kentucky woods someday!! We met a couple celebs that day and not judging or criticizing anyone but lets just say the experience was kind of disappointing....realizing they are busy people it seemed all about the merch....Shawn, totally opposite! Dude totally needs his own show!!! Thanks Dude!!
