Oh I forgot to post his racing history too. He's also raced in a few different sports car series... so the fact he's done alot of things for the auto industry and he knows what its like to drive a high performance vehicle I feel that makes him pretty credible in my opinion. A lot more so then a lot of reviewers I've seen
