💯💯

Agreed - The average viewer has never driven a car on track - Sam shows us car enthusiast side that relates to most people watching youtube. At least we can all go get a good cup of coffee.

@@VinRom19 Exhaust note ? I get its a hybrid but its still a Ferrari. The Ferrari 348 is the single Biggest Bang for the Buck in Ferrari and exotic sports cars. Wait till you have an electrical gremlin with the 296. In Ferrari sports cars. consensus says the 355 is the greatest sports car Ferrari ever made. But Less is More with the completely analog 348 as it doesn’t have the brass valve guide and/or electronic suspension issues the 355 has. Older is Easier as the 348 is the best “purely analog” Ferrari ever made according to Hoovies Garage, the Smoking Tire, Jay Emm, etc as the 348 comes without modern day features that actually detract from the experience of driving a Ferrari. Why drive a “fast” car “slow” when you can drive a slower car fast? Lastly, the 348’s 8,500 rpm flat plane crank redline has the Formula 1 exhaust note of any Ferrari as F1 cars also use flat plane cranks to lower the F1’s center of gravity. Every car has an exhaust note-why isn’t anyone commenting on the lack of a distinctive exhaust note on the 296?

I agree to everything you say. This is the content we’re waiting for. Honestly ! Shmee for the numbers, Carfection for the over the top cinematography and journalistic point of view & Seen Through Glass for the passion and the story (as well a great cinematography)

@@VinRom19 and relates to probably alot of the customers buying the car!

@F. A. the embargo of the 296 release? Havent you seen all other 296 GTB reviews popping up on monday ?

I disagree, I’ve only seen one other video about the 296 and was just annoying having to wait days for Sams review

Exactly what I've been thinking to myself.

@@-LK34- 1? What about auto trader , autocar, top gear, carfection, shmee. Could have watched those ones while you had such a bad time waiting.

@F. A. had the whole room laughing on that one bro

Agree! Just worry about your production values, you deserve to be there.

Sam's not alone in having developed the skills to produce a high quality video, yet I still feel he's let himself down here. While he surely shouldn't worry so much about what others are doing, as if all those so-called professional journalists are all so good to watch. Maybe they're better in print. Anyway, it must be remembered that he is invited on these launches to do a job for Ferrari. There's no way around that fact. And I'd be surprised if they're not questioning whether or not to invite him again after this video, more involving a car than about a car. And with himself saying he's not a professional journalist so much. Ferrari is well-known to have a very thin skin when it comes to criticism, and Sam even questioned the styling. And on top of that whether a journalist or influencer, I question whether anyone is going to plunk down a deposit after watching this video. The only saving grace I can see is that none of the other videos I've watched have been full reviews. None discussed the interior, other than maybe saying the seats are uncomfortable. For some reason, all of the long-awaited 296 reviews have fallen short. But we must understand that Sam has got to be seen to do a job for Ferrari or his invites will stop. He's not there to do a travel vlog or a coffee ad. And I don't see the Seville travel board or Nespresso or such like being impressed by the video, either. Style over function just doesn't cut it, at least IMO. That said, it was a very pleasant video, and the 20 mins sailed by, which is unusual for me, because I often struggle with videos as they go past 10 mins, and start looking at the time after 15, so there's that positive aspect. So, for me, it was an enjoyable watch, but ultimately a fail. Nonetheless, I gave it a thumbs up. Hopefully, Ferrari will give Sam another chance.

@@nigel.w fair but Sam has never purported to be an out and out auto critic like say, Jayemm. I agree I haven't been that impressed with other 296 reviews. We wonder that Ferrari control the situation more than is transparent.

@@nigel.w and, with all due respect, who are you?

@@barlynuribe3887 I could say the same to you, but I won't because these days "with all due respect" generally means the opposite. What I will say is that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and that goes for you, and me, too.

Henry Catchpole seems a nice guy and seems to know his stuff, yet I don't find his videos that easy to watch.

@@nigel.w because they get under the skin and technical with the cars. Autocar, Evo etc. Find myself paying more attention, which is great.

broo that's so cool you're a seen through glass fan as I love your videos.

Wow, fancy seeing Theory in the comments section of an STG video! Hope you're having a good day 🙌

Hey theory congrats on your aventador ultimae. It is so Well deserved. I hope to see more videos with it, when you take delivery
