In the end Savagegeese does a shout out to them, definitely good publicity for TRI Industries to alert watchers they have an opportunity to win that amazing car!

Truly great review, really enjoyed watching a video w/out a bunch of drifting, laughing at acceleration and engine noise and actually a TON of info, highlighted short comings, strengths and in the end a REALLY Great review.

Thanks for the share!

I wash my Boss 302 once a week usually. When I'm done I normally lightly scrub the steering wheel with cloth and water. That's worked well keeping it feeling and looking new.

Alcantara definitely wears down, but it isn't exactly that the material wears off rather it gets clogged with dirt and becomes matted.

I use some chemical guys basic cleaner (http://www.chemicalguys.com/Nonsense_All_Surface_Cleaner_4_oz_p/spi_993_04.htm), cut it 50/50 with water and apply it with a microfiber rag, then use a toothbrush to gently work the material. After it dries it puffs back up pretty well.

If he is right about the materiel going bad with use, I might get this done.

That is very awesome. Do you have a link to that ?

Thanks

Love how they blur out the speedo during the road test.

I noticed that too.

Nice to see that TRI Industries is loaning out their "raffle" car for additional miles, hot rodding and driving. Very interesting. . .

That guy was so adamant about how perfect the car would be. That adds a level of shadiness to the whole deal. Ruining it for their "charity" because I was going to buy tickets.

Very detailed unbiased review.

It was a good review. However! Not as detailed as Road&Track leads you to believe and really very few specific details where given. In fact he got some details very wrong. Lets see who else catches them incorrect details of the car.

So wrong regarding the Cup2's. I have 8500 miles on mine to-date, including two track sessions, and I still have about half the tread on them that was there originally. No issues in the rain, either.

That's great that you have gotten that kind of mileage out of those tires. I would assume you can expect 12k out of them before replacing them. I also assume, the rears are wearing faster than the fronts?

This puts these right at the top of my list as I only put about 7k miles a year on my GTPP. Plus I can get these in 325/30/20 to get more width on the rear.

Nice, per the rules the winner pays 25% tax of fair market value up front

Applicable Law requires that the winner of a non-cash prize pay 25% of the fair market value of the prize to the Organization, which will remit such payment to the IRS. This amount may vary depending upon Applicable Law.

You might think, but actually, no. Very little spinning of the rear tires has occurred! I'd agree, maybe 12-13K at the current rate.

Great news! These could last me 2 years.

Thanks for posting that info. I appreciate it.

Look what I noticed.

Freeze the video as 21:21 and zoom into the middle of the splitter.

It also look like the mechanic dude was onto it as well.

The not so uncommon improperly installed front spiltter strikes again.

WOW! Im glad to hear this. I was thinking 6K miles tops.
