It's been his favorite car since he was 4 years old, then he proceeds to pick it apart. So lame. He's just like 87% of everyone else on the internet -- simply impossible to satisfy. Hey pal, there is no perfect car, even your lifelong favorite. Get over it.
He wants a rough ride? Stupid complaint about the suspension. What matters is, how does it handle? Pretty awesome, I suspect.
The stereo was very good for its day. Granted the design is odd with each speaker having its own amplifier, but it's not the huge deal he is making it out to be. Naturally stereo design and technology has evolved since 1995, but he thinks this is bad because modern stereo upgrades don't fit?
I have driven my car with the Targa removed and it is a different experience but I did not have any driving problems or issues with the vehicle integrity. In fact I took my friend for a ride, and we blasted a highway on-ramp to 80mph and everything was fine. If you remove the Targa, then push the car hard enough to have driving issues, then you should not remove the Targa.
The insurance on my Corvette is $600 per year, that is dirt cheap for a sports car owned and driven by a male. I have very good coverage -- not the best, but very good coverage. I could pay more but there is no need.
The whole problem with this video is, this 20-something year old guy bought a 20 year old *stock* sports car and expected he would not want to change anything. He expects it to be something different than it is. Lame. Also I strongly suspect he is comparing it to modern cars.
My 1995 is stock -- I know what it is, and what it is not, and I love it for what it is.

I'm sure it's one of the nicest cars in his trailer park.

Dont think he was picking it apart sounded like he saw the car for what it is, a cheap sportscar
Valid fact on upgading the stereo, cowl shake etc.
Sounds like got the softer spring pkg.
