I thought all the pccb brakes came with braided brake lines? Mine did? Did I mention we something or are there better grades of brake lines which are stainless steel braided?
I agree this is not an overly modified car for such a record. Just look at all the active aero tricks on the Lambo.

Dot sure about the PCCB ones, but the other ones , even on the RS, are not real braided . They do have some steel in them but are not completely covered . I did the upgrade on my RS . It was highly recommended by MR

Brendon Hartley got green callipers 
Seems more Lizard green than acid green. Can't quite tell with those filters.
On a side note, Porsche finally relented and let me delay the pick up of my GT2RS till April 11th, at Leipzig. It was done last month, they had wanted me to take it within 8 weeks and their 'favour' to me was allowing me to do it end of Feb. I told them nein, I don't want to have winters on the car.

Have to agree given the impact their magic has on my GT3. I'd send Porsche's best offering there in a heartbeat, especially if it's your only chance to visit them this side of the pond with the car.

The farmer:Nick, take my advice and drive it directly from Leipzig to Meuspath and let the Manthey guys do there magic🤪👍🤙🤙
Remember we talked about this?
Manthey cannot touch a car on European delivery. 
The export agent and inert agent checks the car isn't modified in any way. The only thing Manthey can do is to adjust the suspension settings to the best of the factory allowable range.
I might be able to sneak the water tank into Canada in the front trunk though.

Nick, let the car stock and let them do weight cornering and proper alignment. the car doesn't need anything else.

Rossi:Carlos from Spain:what is with reving the engines like that in neutral?
What it is? It is idiotic.
Maybe the "YouTuber" demanded this... Whenever I am in my R8 at some sort of event, some adolescents or even adults come over and want me to rev the engine.

From my "experience", 90% of the YouTube "stars" or "influencers" (as we call them ) come from wealthy families and cannot pay for their cars and/or lifestyles with their YouTube/advertisement income. There are a few exceptions (like Vanoss Gaming or Jeffree Star) but people like Shmee150, Vehicle Virgins or Archie Hamilton Racing, etc. come from wealthy families, so no surprises here.

They picked the ZR1 
The Corvette ZR1 won because it brought out the wide-eyed enthusiast in all of us—IndyCar pros, club racers, and jaded journalists alike. Everyone wanted more time in the ZR1. Every aspect of the ZR1, from the rib-cage-vibrating engine note to the adjustable traction control, strikes a chord. The Chevy also happens to exhibit many of the McLaren’s qualities at one-seventh the price. It, too, is awkwardly but compellingly styled by the demands of the air and the engine. Like the Senna, it combines an appetite for lap time with a remarkable ability to handle imperfect roads.
"If the Pista, GT2 RS, and McLaren all cost the same, the ZR1 likely isn’t on par with them, because it’s not as comprehensively designed," Hildebrand said. "But it would still be the car I’d feel most guilt-free about driving the hell out of whenever I wanted, over and over again."

Wait until your kid(s) grow up, you're going to be an expert on everything related to YouTube and Playstation. Also, when you do some job for a cyber security company related to social media, it is inevitable to check out on some YouTube "personalities". Dude, I'm even a high level in GTA V Online with a 14.x kill rate (which is usually considered cheating but it is legit ), so... 
Funny side story: We celebrated a birthday, they assigned me to be the DJ (I did some DJ work in my 20s) and I had my kids help me. At first, I played the given playlist (some Latin Pop, some Salsa, even Helene Fisher (where is that vomit emoji when you need it? ). The guests were barely dancing, didn't enjoy themselves, mostly women in their 40s and 50s. I then played a few songs from the current club charts and suddenly everyone was dancing like crazy. I even played my (older) "signature song" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM7F5lCUmLU , Chasing Kurt, From the Inside (Henrik Schwarz Remix), a song not many at that age is usually enjoying and they went off like crazy, incredible. So I guess older people aren't always lame, same as younger people aren't always cool.

nberry:Obviously the reviewers are not aware that US cars are inferior to European cars.
The only US cars you can see on German roads from time to time are Jeeps, Teslas and sometimes the Ford Mustang.
Saw a Cadillac Escalade once in Munich and a couple of Corvettes from time to time (maybe one or two per year).
The biggest issue in US cars is the interior in my opinion. So much plastic and cheap materials...don't even know where to start. They could easily improve this stuff with a few tweaks here and there, wouldn't cost them much either but I start to believe that US customers actually want this crap.
