    Great video. I assume you were the videographer when you say "I shot". It is very beautifully done. I especially like your little "rain shots" Thank you for sharing.

    I was very tempted to buy those piano black Nissan rims myself. The rims and the window tint really look great on the Red. Well done!

    I am living with it as is. My wife is now remembering to lock her door about 90% of the time. It isn't too bad. :)

    I feel the throttle does hang a second or so too long and that does play havoc with my shifting. Or, it could be that my last manual car was about 25 years ago.. ;)

    I use a gopro hero 4. However I am having trouble sourcing a memory card that allows writing fast enough for the higher resolution/frame rates the camera is capable of. So I end up at 720/30fps.

    I spend very little time in fifth gear. I believe the video is sped up to 400%, so the engine is video reving at around 12,000 rpm. This is close to Formula 1's 15,000 rpm so the sound is similar.
