Good for him! 

Unfortunately, those things drive like stage coaches.

because of the horsepower?

Hmmm.  Works hard, has an actual Doctorate, and isn't running around calling black people chimpanzees.....fine with me for now

Can't speak for the ACR, but I've driven the base model, whatever it is called many years ago.  I rented it.  The damn clutch has a 1 foot long throw.  I burnt it out.  Cost me $2k just to have it repaired!  Lots of fun and tons of looks by the bitches (and cops).

There's a reason they don't edit.  They make money based on how long the video is. 

I thought it was based on ads?

And I would still take the Ferrari

Don't care how fast vipers or vettes go I'll take Porsche gt3's or Ferrari 458 speciales or 488, don't care about cost either

And yet it's being discontinued again.... No one wants to buy one

American cars are brutal.
I remember the show years ago here in which they where testing Viper and the fucking doors (seals?) started to melt in middle of the lap due to the exhaust pipes' locations.

But to be fair, no one can compete with Italians when it comes to cars.
Not Germans, not the Japs, not Americans.

The usa  engines last forever under harsh circumstances and sometimes only need checkup every 120k miles!
But the rest about usa cars is low quality and low tech. Italian cars are even wors, also crap engines. You are trolling perhaps?

Depends on what u mean by compete?

Overall Italian cars are junk, people think Ferrari and Ferrari's aren't everyday cars and thier reliability is questionable at best

American cars aren't bad, their sports cars give a lot of performance per dollar and that's what they are

German and Japanese are well rounded overall

We are talking maybe different things.

I agree with you about durability of American engines. And if one wants clinical, all around quality car - they should go German or Skoda.

But! Italian cars don't have crappy engines. Just sophisticated pieces of art. That's why they require maintenance.
You can hear and feel the difference between American engine vs. Italian engine. I have driven both. The response to throttle, the sound... Italians have it.
Best car I have had was Alfa Romeo 156 GTA with 3.2 (Busso) V6. Amazing sound. Yes, it required constant maintenance and still had problems but was awesome to drive. I think as close to Ferrari as your average laborer can get (and I understand there is still way to go)

Yo mass243, Yes indeed I was talking about allround ( corporate / family) cars affortable for the masses like VW, Vauxel, Skoda, ( thanx for mentioning Bro   ), toyota, mazda etc.

Your colourfull description of you Alfa takes me both ways; I would like to drive that car now and then to put the pedal to the metal like its a piece of carporn. But I would never buy it. Its like choosing between a hot slut and a reliable housewife  

Tell me; why did you eventually sell it?

Haha, and the Skoda comment was genuine. Only later did I notice you actually have one      

Well, Alfa was getting old, was from 2003.
Their current line doesn't have interesting options but the all new Giulia probably gets me back to Italy camp once they have been on market for few years and you can buy used one with reasonable price (I hope).

in terms of aesthetics that is all

Lol funny coincidence  
That Giulia looks nice. Where I am from ( Holland) you hardly see new alpha's on the road anymore ( at least this is my observation).
That is because the market of new cars (midlevel range) is mostly corporate lease and Alpha does not have fuel efficient and hybrid models ( personal theory, could be BS), and that is important here because right now this results in significant tax benefits for the owner

Just a poor excuse for unreliable cars, hear this all the time

Alfas have been the biggest POS for decades, even the new quadrifoglio is no match for c63 Mercedes or m3

[Thespritz0]

Cool.

These are weird times. People with no talent in anything can become famous and even earn serious money.
I like Saabkyle but let's face it; his reviews suck. He is dull, has annoying voice, no specifically attractive appearance. Yet he is quite successful.  
Nothing wrong in it, though.

^^
He revs the SHIT out of normal, non-performance cars and who the HELL wants to see that??
The dude only got popular, as he was probably THE FIRST car reviewer ever on YouTube...
