      Yeah I've seen comments from eco warriors literally cackling with glee that particulate filters are going to make cars even lamer than they've become, to the point where no one wants them. They want cars to be so bad that we *prefer* the prius. Which isn't just well-intentioned it's insane and fucked up. We are not fucking up *your* planet by liking cars. Stop killing the thing i care most about. Corporations on a massive and global scale are who should have to deal with climate change before a single guy has to give up a sports car. That's not the bad guy here, and they've sadly been sold the lie that we're the problem : (

    Tim and team hi, have been enjoying the quality and quantity of content for ages and realising that you're clearly perfectionists I thought you'd probably welcome an observation from an audiophile, I just wanted to suggest you try to not compress the sound levels of the audio in the videos, they are clipping a lot (as do many, many other RUclips channels) but it doesn't need to be the case and shouldn't cost you time or money to avoid, it would make what is almost perfect production perfect !

    It's like Lambo VS Ferrari. :P
    The one is shouty and demands attention. The other is more sleek and refined, more about cutting through corners like a hot knife through butter.
    The one is the rockstar lead singer. The other a chef in the kitchen that nobody really gets to see or praise but makes some of the best dishes out there.
    For me, the clear favourite is the GT4, perhaps half the number and soundtrack, but twice the appeal and fun as a pure driver's focused car. But props to the GT8 for putting on a show.

I would absolutely love to own both can get a Gt350R for about 85k usd. And a gt8 used for about 180k. Guess i need to start saving.

    Yes Tim! I'm going to ramble on a bit here, forgive me, but I was thinking after watching your hypercar video yesterday that as amazing as they are, they are kind of show cars, yes often at the cutting edge of technologies, but just too detached from practical driving. Uber sports driver's cars - like these 2 interest me more because they are more relatable to less premium offerings, let's say.
    These two are terrific, very similar on power and performance, but quite different - I imagine - in the driving experience. I'd go for the Porsche for its greater precision and practicality. But those long gears! That must compromise the acceleration somewhat. I was watching a Harry's Garage video earlier today on the BMW M2 CS and it is relatively short geared - which I think is more common on performance cars these days. Just interested - does this car appeal to you? Definitely a superb driver's car.
    Anyway, thanks, and all the best with Shmuseum. Cheers!
