I can't even look at manuals, my wife can't be trusted with a manual, especially with anything over 50 hp or so......

Well they had two complete laps on video and using the video time and my stopwatch I got about 1:35 for the first lap and 1:34 for the second. (Very scientific).

Pretty quick.

Looks like he felt something was wrong with the brakes. They had a long pedal travel before it started breaking but braked really well when it did brake.

The fact that they put the 350R against an out of production Camaro and barely won didn't help their credibility. But just like their last H2H video, they needed to figure out SOME way to make the Ford guys feel better.
