It's bound to fill the net soon, on reviews and comparison tests. I really limit my trustful views of testers out there (maybe I don't know many more) with those that has or had motorsport backgrounds. Been following Randy Pobst since I know he was a successful autocrosser then a road racing guru. His tests and reviews on Laguna Seca are very good on point. Lots of reviewers out there are just annoying and full of fluff and cliche.

About the others, who have been mostly objective to follow?

Old Doug Demuro - new Doug is too generic in his reviews lol
Yep Carlos is cool, pushes limits.

Doug, love his details, but old school views, funny!

Moto-Man is one of my favorites. I enjoy his breakdown of performance differences, the options game, and his closing remarks about where the car fits into the broader car market. He’s also a real Z fan if I remember correctly. I think he’s consistent whether he’s reviewing a Porsche or a Hyundai.

While neither go on track often.. I rather enjoy Savagegeese and Thestraightpipes.

savagegeese usually does a deep dive into the engineering and technical details. There’s always a segment where they view the vehicle on a lift.

straight pipes are just fun to watch and while neither have a reputable Motorsport background.. neither do I... so I feel like they match the mindset of the general consumer (me).

Yes, those are my top reviewers, too. Maybe a couple others I don't recall at the moment. It will be very helpful to see what they think about the new Z !

Yes! Totally forgot about him. I like this style and in depth analysis as well. His channel should be way more popular. He actually had a great video reviewing the Proto when it was in LA for a bit.

He’s also in NY right now and mentioned in a comment section on YouTube or Facebook that there will be a special Z video coming.

Will check him out since he’s also a Z fan, could provide good comparisons and what’s been improved
