Transcript

Not even a month ago, I bought my first hyper car, my Ford Tier. A lot of you online were saying that Ford GT is in fact no a hyper car. Well, I still think it is, but that doesn't matter because I actually just traded that car in with my Pista to get a real hypercar that no one's gonna say otherwise. Let's see what we did. McLaren Senna, blue exposed carbon, papaya spark orange. This is arguably the nicest Senna I've ever seen. Obviously, one on one full episode. Ridiculous car. And guys, again, this is a real hyper now. Ford GT might have not better, it's your opinion, but this is no there's no denying that this is a hyper car.
