The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. With headphones or earbuds on, you'll feel like you're sitting in the driver's seat.

I'm also the producer for the Winding Road YouTube Channel:

TheTopher on YouTube is the place where I share my personal automotive adventures. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly test vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive and live with. Most of my videos are filmed from the driver's point-of-view, or POV, with in-ear binaural audio.

  • Thanks a lot for doing this video Chris! Really gave a lot of unique insight into this car that other videos haven't provided. That 6th gear "pull" was really surprising. It's great to see that it's still fun to drive around town too.
  • @SoGiga
    Sounds crazyyyy listening with earphones on
  • @dawnpoint
    Honestly, if you could just do thirty minutes of driving this, no speech, with the binaural rig, I'd listen to that on loop all day. Holy crap, I've never heard anything so nice.
  • That 5.2L Voodoo crate engine is music to every mustang owners ears. Yes it is a driver's car that's easy on the hands. I loved the handling.
  • @dylanw890
    Loved this video! Probably the most clear audio I've ever heard on these car videos
  • @mobileturtle
    Love these type of reviews, real life practical driving - nice job
  • @Staki6908
    6:01 Cool video, but was that glass and blood in the road? Damn that car sounds good when you wind it up reminds me a lot of my sportsbikes!
  • @bena1549
    Was watching this and suddenly got familiar with my surroundings, I didn’t even realize you were in Michigan😂 my dad used to work right down that road at 7:11

    Love this car so much, but I am so conservative with my money I am not sure I will ever have one, but I want one! lol
  • Sounds great car would love to take it for a blast in the mountains NZ. Great thumbs up.
  • @totowolf9716
    This car doesn’t handle bumps at high speed very well...just in case anyone out there is not aware
  • Awesome car and incredible engine and sound! Have you had a change to drive the GT350R on the road too or just the track, and do you have any thoughts on the differences between them - especially on what is the best road car? Anyways love your videos and the fact that you show us these kinds of cars in everyday driving on the street, keep it up!
  • After you did that first u-turn and got into her......gah.....oh oh oh face. Damn. Straight wood!
  • @lenoliu9006
    Nice video and a very good view of FPP, can you tell me which camera did you use for taking this video? I always want to get one of these! Thank you!
