Someone somehow even managed to make a Procar M1 road legal in Germany, you could hear that thing approach you for quite some time before it passed you on the Autobahn at full tilt. What a noise, what a car! That was a fantastic day 😍

@@billinhouston3291 Because he doesn't know better. I came to comment the same thing. You can even watch the tach at 15:44, he shifts at a little over 6k, blips the throttle to keep the rpm over 5k, then engages the clutch to suddenly slow the engine to 4200 rpm. He's actually causing MORE wear to drivetrain components as well as upsetting the balance of the car by doing this. It's painful to watch and listen to, and a good way to send a nice car taillights-first into a guardrail if he ever accidentally approaches the limit of the rear tires. Considering his viewership numbers, I'm embarrassed for him.

@fragdude

@@Ben_Chillin yea I noticed this, I’m guessing the sound from the interior is of him double clutching, but that’s not actually necessary…. I blame the fast and the furious. Even more interesting is that if the driver was to just do a regular shift at a regular pace he would probably be going pretty easy on both the synchros and the clutch…. (And in the end those are just replaceable parts, at least the clutch should be easily replaceable. Drive the car normal, don’t cater to silly fan-people. Unless you can remember watching an F1 driver by the name of Fangio you have never driven a car where double clutching is needed.)

As a kid I lived in Plano TX. A gentleman in my neighborhood had 2 M1’s. One was a road card and the other was the race group 4 version. He would actually drive the race car version on the street. This was during the mid 80’s. I remember walking home from school and watching him zoom by. I was obsessed with these cars. I finally got the courage to knock on his door and ask if I could take pictures of his cars. He was extremely gracious and went even further. He gave me a ride in both cars. We became friends and I would come over on the weekends and use his garage to fix my car. It was a 1970 z28 that I purchased in 1985. He let me use his tools and lift to work on my beloved Z28. I Believe, that he was a developer and a home builder in Plano and Frisco. His wife was a realtor. They also had two 7 series BWM’s. I moved to Virginia after high school and lost track. I wonder what happened to these cars and my friend. If still alive, he must be close to 80 years old.

I hope to see you and Thomas and James from throttle house to do a couple of videos every year it’s really a good matchup of personalities, one American one Canadian, and one Brit. Love your productions and humour , also you seem to know stuff😂
