    • @tjroelsma
      @tjroelsma 4 роки тому +17

      Look at Doug's carvideos as entertainment instead of reviews and it all starts to make sense.
      For example: Doug actively hunts for what he calls quirks and then applies his own (American) logic to them:
      - "Tuned by STI" on a Subaru is a silly badge, but "High Output" on a Jeep Cherokee 4.0 that barely makes 190 HP makes perfect sense to Doug.
      - If a car doesn't have 4 or more cupholders, Doug thinks it's lacking in luxury.
      His DougScore is absurd, because he rates every vehicle on the same scale instead of deviding them into categories, as serious car reviewers would do. So in Doug's world a sporty sedan can get a 3 for acceleration even if it's the fastest in it's class, because Doug directly compares it's acceleration to that of Lamborghini's, Ferrari's etc. But again, look at it as entertainment.
      Doug is/acts the "typical" American: foreign cars often make no sense to him because he completely ignores that for the European and Asian markets cars are way more often built for special purposes than in the US. He "reviewed" a Mercedes people carrier for instance and complained how spartan and underpowered that car was compared to other people carriers. Doug can't/won't grasp that Mercedes builds those specific cars for a special purpose: to be used as an airport taxi for families or groups. They're workhorses and therefore it doesn't make sense to equip them with powerful engines and luxury.

      T Gal precisely. During his commentary while driving, he often talks about how the car compares to rivals in its class or from its time because that information is pertinent to buyers who are already looking for a car in that class. However, the DougScore ranks cars in comparison to all cars, thus allowing him to find out which cars are the best overall. It’s the simplest way to score every variety of cars he reviews on the same system, but he can still give more specific commentary while driving.

      Jonathan Bywater it feels like he ignores that sometimes though - with other really cool cars that people would obsess over at cars and coffee but no one on the road would notice, he gives it an average score. But for this he gave it an 8/10 for cool factor. In reality, 99% of people see this on the road and just think it’s another STI

      The R35 is VERY overrated. You could get the new C8 Corvette for $60,000 instead and it will come with a warranty and a great interior. You can get a C7 Z06 and wipe the floor with ANY R35 GTR for around $60K as well. Or you could get a C6 ZR1 and for around $50K and it would destroy the R35 GTR around a track and in a drag race. All of them offer supercar performance and in the case of the C6 ZR1 and C7 Z06, they actually are supercars. Not just supercars, but they are actual drivers cars. It takes no skill to drive a GTR and with one of those Vettes, they will actually have to learn how to be a better driver to use their full potential

    25,000km on that truly makes it the holy grail, hot damn that is a hell of a find.

      Yeah man, that thing is fucking cleeeaaaan inside too for that age. Low mileage explains it I guess but still.

    This car is the reason I became a mechanical engineer. I was tuning it in grant turismo and I realised that I am really good on suspension settings. The results was 6:42:03 in the Nurburgring ( Faster than any road car ) and 0:52:5 in Tsukuba with race tires and 600hp . Its an amazing car unfortunately only 400 have been ever made.

      Wow thanks for sharing, that's class! Hope you're having a blast on Gran Turismo 7, the 22B is in it and could do with your tuning ;)

      I’ve tuned the Subaru wrx sti 05 to get 6.50 on the Nurburgring in gran truisms obv, but I’m sure the 22b being lighter can go even faster. Unfortunately I’m still on the ps3 and I am forced to play gt6 while we now have gt7! One day…

    11:31 Doug gets so excited about the infotainment screen that he spits when he says "THINKS".
    Now that's an interesting quirk and feature!
    He also immediately talks about a water spray button afterwards which I found funny as well.
