I like this guys reviews because he is honest with his impressions and doesn't hold back. I thought he might have been more harsh on the Cobra's downsides but he really wasn't.
Wish they would have featured a more modded Cobra though :)

Finally a One take worth while watching. Was tired of BMWs getting reviewed.

Lol on the Flatbrimmed hat on owner tho. Good thing he didnt plastidip his wheels the same color as the car.

Watched it earlier, as stated I like Farahs honesty when it comes to his feels on certain cars. He's mentioned before he's not a big New Edge era fan (during his Mach 1 onetake) but seemed to do the car justice. Owner was a little cringy wanting to gut it but overall not bad at all for someone who's parents bought him a car. The guys who try and talk over Matt or just flat out lie about their cars are much worse.

He's more vocal about his time spent with a 00R on reddit

Well, its a Lethal Performance hat. He's basically the modern mustang owner who isn't over 40.

For being 18 I could have expected a lot worse so I won't give him shit.

It's crazy seeing the young 17/18 year old's picking up this car now. Imagine when our kids grow up and want to pick up a used hellcat or Zl1 lol. Anyways, the review was cool. Matt Farah is tough on the SN95 platform, I wasn't surprised by his reddit comments.

Well I watched it and Matt tried to make it seem like he didn't do my car already mostly since he basically became a douche after his hard drive failed and my clutch failed me after the reshoot. I'm going to give it a shot again and see if he'll do my car after all the changes. We even did the shoot on the same road too

this pic proves I'm not lying. But alas he seems to ignore my emails now along with the other person who was supposed to be going with me who had a medical issue and couldn't drive his twin turboed cobra there. I warned him in the shoot about not going into boost in 5th and up gears and I think he did it here too.

Why would you want someome you consider a "douche" to review / drive your car again? Makes no sense.

Made me smile when I saw the title. I need one of those cars. Hell of a first car for a 16 year old.

Stop it man, just... stop it!

Have some self respect.

Naw the real reason is to set the record straight so people can actually get someone who talks and understands handling characteristics of the car. We went over all that in my original shoot but I spoke with Matt for like an hour after the shoot and I was telling stuff about his fox body. Hell I was the one who had to talk him he paid for a "terminator" IRS when really it was a 99 cobras.

I saw this earlier too, lol. I'm 18 with an 01 cobra but gutting the interior because of the rattles would be the last thing I'd want to do to a terminator hahah. Hope he takes good care of it

I switched my seats and took the rears out since no one fit back there anyway... I'm never selling the car so sometime down the line I can always get new rears if it really matters

Makes sense. I put dark charcoals out of an '04 in and love that look, but before I got them I wanted to do a rear seat delete with a harness but that would be overkill for just a street car/driver like mine.
