PLATA Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Great car. Plus an LS1 conversion as well, there are a few on this forum worth exposing to motor cars aficionados Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Someone will need to point out to him that it isn't a Ferrari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannyvig Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Someone will need to point out to him that it isn't a Ferrari. Ouch, pretty funny. After seeing him crap himself in the rx7, I have wished to see him freak out in a well sorted s30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) I'd like to see the Z featured but I don't really care for Matt Farah. I lost all respect for him after the 'Ferrari' incident. Someone else needs to do it. Edited November 4, 2013 by rturbo 930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) I think that was him being a little to trusting. Just imagine someone let you go for a ride, let alone drive, what you think is a very rare, hand built, multimillion dollar car! I think you would be excused for not being able to spot a few discrepancies, and let's be honest unless you were a real aficionado, they are very convincingly converted. I think it is more of a testament to how awesome the L motors can sound instead of how Matt Farah was trolled. I think he's shown that he is a car guy, maybe not a hands on memorize all the facts guy, but definitely a car guy. Reminds me of Jeremy in that regard. Not terribly knowledgeable about the fine details, but incredibly entertaining to watch. Edited November 4, 2013 by seattlejester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I don't care if he got a few details wrong, or didn't notice them. No one can be an expert on every car they drive. It's the fact that after it was BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that the car wasn't a real Ferrari, he started backpedaling, and flat out lied a few times. He handled it poorly and it says something about his character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I think it says more about the guys character who is telling people his Datsun is a Ferrari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Oh well, I didn't here anything about the back pedaling or denials, just that the video was removed. Anyways, I think a modded Z would be very neat, it seems like he's covered quite a broad range, it's time to start getting into the niches .

johnc Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Does anyone really care what Matt has to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atozone Tonine Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Wow... I was unaware of this incident. Well anyways, I'm always interested in seeing any media content of s30's, so I would still watch the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Meh, it looks like he came clean in the end, that redeems him to me. I find him entertaining, there aren't too many automotive themed shows that are around and /tuned is always a treat. I don't take his word as gospel or anything, but coverage of "tuned" cars usually seem to be personal clips or some kind of documentary. It's nice to have a host that will push the car, add a few laughs and comment on the experience rather then the culture. Where else can you see coverage of the hennesy venom or the twin charged lotus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I wonder if that video is still around. I followed that "Ferrari" thread and several others and it looks like Youtube pulled it, maybe because it's a few years old now. Hilarious story and denials about the car being a genuine Ferrari...
