Performance Car Video Reviews

Performance car reviews from an owner's seat

Performance Car Lounge is an Australian video review channel by Brisbane-based enthusiast Stuart Ellis. I buy, drive and live with performance cars, from Porsche GT cars and Nissan GT-Rs to HSVs, Mustangs, Hyundai N cars and JDM imports, and review them the way an owner would: how they drive, how they live with you day to day, and whether you should buy one.

For Performance Car Enthusiasts

This is for the true car enthusiasts, for those who understand the essence of a genuine performance car, where form follows function.

Every review comes from an owner’s point of view. I buy, drive and live with these cars, so you get the real story: how they drive on Aussie roads, what ownership is actually like, and whether they’re worth your money.

Porsche GT cars, Nissan GT-Rs, HSVs, Mustangs, Hyundai N and JDM imports: if it’s a genuine performance car, it’s fair game. Subscribe and you’ll get each new review the day it drops.
