Only reason I'd consider removing it is because he said it's full of understeer, you can feel the weight and it doesn't enjoy stopping!

Although, he is comparing it to the Falcon race car. Not all cars. And the sound of surprise when he gets on the straight is most enjoyable

I recon it should stay to serve him a reminder that the New GT has it all over the rivals product.

I can't believe that some people actually think that these are Holden's and Ford's! If they let Toyota in with a rear wheel drive V8 that mirrors the other two, will Camry people believe that they are real Toyota's? Why would FPV care? They are promoting a lap around Bathurst by the shapest driver around this year in one of their cars, a real V8 Ford!

A tiny proportion of people will even recognise who he is and an even smaller percentage of them will care.

He is a professional racing driver. He moves to the team that best supports his career. Perfectly normal, why would it make a difference to my watching a video of a GT? Lots of people change jobs.

holden have a new slogan here it is : if you cant earn the #1 buy it and slap it on your car - imho the rules need to be changed to stop this defection to holden seems you win in a Ford and you soon after drive a holden asin next season, therefore getting the #1 on the holden product, team sell-your-phone won now are a holden based team, courtney wins champship now hes in a holden - hm see a pattern here if the ford teams keep winning then there won't be any left because they will all be bought by holden somehow.

and having courtneys' praise of the oppositions' product would irritate the HRT faithful imho so leave it
