Refer #1 post, under Video section. Reason for not using that video is because1) Mark turned Petronas down on F1 contract
2) Mark drove better Ferraries than the 1 out cuntry has
3) Mark doesn't really like the car in that video if you pay attention to what he said, other than the exhaust noise he commented is very sporty(which again, can be a bad side of marketing as majority of makcik pakcik would prefer a less noisy car)
Overall, getting a race car driver to comment on a civilian daily use street vehicle is the worst thing 1 can do. Differences between normal citizen and a race car driver, point of view, value of CONTROL is entirely opposite:
1) Steering feedback
Professional: Need to feel the exact feedback from the road, direct reflect of actual speed
Average Joe: Need to feel safe
2) Steering response
Professional: Fast, instantaneous, agile. In short, need to have less understeer.
Average Joe: Can't even tell the car is understeer when overspeed cornering.
3) NVH
Professional: As long engine rev sound, exhaust note, and actual acceleration are synchronized in real time
Average Joe: Some prefer hear nothing at all, that's why they buy electric car with 155 LRR tyres
When you combine all these good thing of a racer, it's a bad thing for ordinary car owner. When Mark commented there's bad understeer on Shawie, infact that's the prove of safety. Ask again, how does "this car has serious understeer" sounded like to an average driver? It sure sounds B A D
