Default Modded '98 C5 vs. 2011 Grand Sport VIDEO comparison

Not sure if this has been posted before, (Sorry if its a repost) However I saw this a while back and came across it again and realized I never posted it.

If any of you are familiar with the Drive Network on YouTube, or Matt Farah's "TheSmokingTire" channel that's where I came across it...

Very interesting comparison between what Matt did to his '98 C5 and how it compares to a 2011 Grand Sport. An interesting watch!!

Well, he loves his car , and he makes a lot of valid points. But I have to smile about the value of his headlights, how fast must you be driving at night for the aero of the headlights become a factor?

That was a really enjoyable video on this cold New Years Day on the east coast.

I am with 'f6' though. Headlight aerodynamics? Gimme a break. Ever see a Miata at night? Now that's a crappy design. And I would slightly raise an eyebrow on the power claims and cost comparison.

Otherwise, great video and like-able host! Love the slippers and beer gut, a man's man, refreshing!
