Rant on YouTube Car Reviews

[Alan®]

While these guys granted prolly have pretty cool jobs considering it doesnt take that much work to create one of these but if you're gonna do it, DO IT FUCKIN RIGHT AND BE ACCURATE. I just got done watchin this(My sn on youtube is midnightracer05 so the last few comments are mind)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gGzq4Pyv8Q.

It's a comparisson of a Dinan modified 335i and a Stock 6 Speed M3. Granted go ahead and call me a bench racer or whatever but as I'm sitting there watching this I'm goin to myself 'Do these guys even know what the hell they are talking about?'. By the end I was conviced they had just hired some old guy to drive the cars and ACT like he knew what he was talking about. At the end of the vid the guy musters a SHITTY 13.4 out of the M3 and it's a mid 12 second car.

Motor trend managed as 12.7 out of the 6 speed and a 12.6 out of the SMG Trans.If you go on E90 Post you will see that 335i's are 13 Flat cars all day long even on run flats. Throw in a chip and some DR's and your running 12 flat all day long. TBE=mid-high 11's. I really think that these guys putting together these videos really need to invest in test drivers cause all they are doing is throwing their own credibility out the window.

Anyways end of my little rant.

It was a really well shot video and very informative, I prefer a more entertaining program personally. The guy doesn't seem to have as much drag racing history as road racing, but I'm pretty sure he qualifies when it comes to driving these cars. Also, you never know about the conditions that may affect the times, but they can still be used to compare the two cars against each other. I know that I couldn't pull off a sub-thirteen second run if I wished for it in one of these cars no matter the conditions.

Most of those videos are gay and meant to be put up as quickly as possible to generate as many hits as possible, they don't care about being accurate.
