This week on Full Throttle Talk, the crew dives headfirst into the world of cars we love, hate, and irrationally justify buying.

🚗 What’s inside:
TR2 adventures, MFI vs. Slant Cab showdowns, and 3RS Sunday Service confessions.

→ What’s the best sub-$50k enthusiast car?

⚖️ This or That:
The under-$100k cars that might actually appreciate (and the ones that definitely won’t).

This Week on Full Throttle Talk

The crew covers everything from Ferrari’s 296 Speciale hype to the age-old question — is Porsche about to copy Ferrari’s “too many trims, too little soul” playbook with the GT cars? 🤔

🚗 This Episode Includes:

Fall Driving Diaries → Tim logs 10+ hours in the 718 RS, Speedster, Miata & TR before heading back to PR. Paul goes full RADwood, Casey daily’s the Land Cruiser, and David finally picks up his GT3 RS (but has only driven 40 miles… shame!).

Automotive News → Ferrari says the Speciale isn’t a GT3 RS competitor (so what is it?). Honda kills the Civic Type R in Europe — could North America be next? Plus, Toyota’s turbo FJ60 restomod and Porsche’s secret W18 hypercar engine concept.

Proper Winter Car Prep → Do you actually need fuel stabilizer, tire bags, dehumidifiers, and Li-ion battery tenders… or should you just slap on winter wheels and drive it?

Welcome back to Full Throttle Talk! In this episode we cover Luft 11, the world’s most unique Porsche gathering—part car show, part cult, and pure heaven for air-cooled Porsche fans. If you’ve ever wondered what makes Luft so different from every other automotive event, this is your insider take.

We also dive into wheels: forged vs cast, carbon fiber vs magnesium. What’s actually worth your money? How long do carbon fiber wheels really last? Should you ever trust old mag wheels? If you’ve debated Fuchs vs modern aftermarket, this is for you.

Next, we get controversial: real vs fake Ferraris. What actually makes a classic car “real”? VIN tags, logbooks, or originality? We dissected the Bring a Trailer Ferrari 212 listing that sparked the debate.

Other topics include:

Luft 11 highlights from Porsche nerds who’ve been to almost every Luft event.

Mazda Miata factory restorations and the new Toyota + Mazda sports car collab.

Lucid EV sales jump and whether the new EV 781 will flop or succeed.

This or That: Porsches vs Ferraris, wagons vs sedans, and more.

Whether you’re into Porsche 911s, Ferrari history, wheel tech, or EV drama, this episode has something for every true car enthusiast.

This week’s episode of Full Throttle Talk is a car enthusiast rollercoaster—equal parts serious debate, sarcastic banter, and auction insanity. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should blow your budget on a brand-new Porsche 911 Turbo S or roll the dice on a Ferrari 296 GTB, this episode is for you. We’re talking weekend toys, extra cars, and the real questions that matter: do you want German precision with a warranty, or Italian drama with curves that melt your soul?

But that’s just the starting line. We also tear into:

Porsche’s Strategic Realignment – The new PHEV Macan, whispers of a budget sports car under $75K, and why the BEV 718 “will suck so hard.” Are Porsche dealers panicking behind the curtain?

Youngtimers vs Oldtimers – Why ‘90s and 2000s cars (your old Gran Turismo heroes) are skyrocketing while 356s and non-special ‘70s 911s sit flat. We predict the next wave of collectibles and argue about demographics, wealth transfer, and nostalgia.

Choosing your weekend car wisely – 964 RS, 993 C2S, 997 Club Sport, Ferrari 296 GTB, or a modern 911 Turbo. What really fits your lifestyle, roads, budget, and sanity?

Collector Car Auctions – From legendary Porsche 904s and Ferrari race cars to utterly ridiculous sales like the Wagon Queen Family Truckster and a Yugo Cabrio. Yes, people actually pay real money for this stuff.

Pop Quizzes & Debates – What was the hottest car of 2025? What’s the “It Girl” of 2026? 997 GT3 RS 4.0 vs Singer Classic. Favorite old features that should return (spoiler: everyone wants pop-up headlights back).

And of course, the crew shares real car life updates:

Teaching friends how to wrangle a Ferrari 296 GTS on carbon fiber wheels.

Backroad adventures in the Swedish Sled.

Upgrades that transform clutch feel.

Shakedown runs ahead of Targa Carolina in an air-cooled 911 with fresh electric A/C.

If you love Porsche vs Ferrari debates, car auction madness, and brutally honest takes on the future of collector cars, this is your show.

 Subscribe, share, and join the conversation. We don’t do boring—we do uncensored, sarcastic, opinionated car talk the way it should be.

🎙️ This Week on Full Throttle Talk

We’re taking no prisoners. From Porsche supercar fantasy drafts (959, Carrera GT, GT2 RS, GT3 RS… which ONE would you actually keep?) to the death of real automotive journalism (looking at you, YouTubers & manufacturer mouthpieces), we’re calling it like it is.

🔥 Rants include:

The dumbest automotive trends that need to vanish (matte paint, carbon fiber overload, burble tunes, and those ridiculous gooseneck wings)

Predictions on which fads will age like milk

Auction insanity: why vintage Porsche & Ferrari race cars are still the ultimate benchmark

Market madness: “Old man spec” 993s breaking six figures — WTF?!

Watch talk: what we’re wearing and hunting this week

C&C throwbacks, slantnose shakedowns, and Monterey Car Week stories

This one’s loaded with car culture controversy, Porsche hot takes, Ferrari digs, auction shockers, and watch-collector banter. If you’re into Porsches, Ferraris, supercars, or just calling BS on the industry, this is your episode.

Time to rev the engines—this episode of Full Throttle Talk is bursting with high-octane content and turbocharged takes:

1. This Week in Cars:

Tim opens the throttle with his brand-new go-kart track.

Paul crashes the Good Vibes Breakfast Club and spies the Czinger 21CV Max.

Dave battles CIS hot-start demons delivering a 1982 911 Targa, solving the issue at the 11th hour.

Casey resurrects a 1973.5 911 Targa, tracks down a 997 GTS stick, and finally gets a clutch slave cylinder after 5 months—plus PCA meet-ups and auction digs.

2. Automotive News & Ferrari Focus:

Ferrari just dropped the 849 Testarossa—literally resurrecting one of the most iconic names with a next-gen plug-in hybrid flagship to replace the SF90 Stradale.

Powertrain: A mid-rear 4.0L twin-turbo V8 plus three electric motors, delivering around 1,050 horsepower—roughly 50 hp more than the SF90.

Performance: 0–62 mph in under 2.3 seconds, top speed 205 mph (330 km/h).

Design & Aero: 15% more cooling capacity, 415 kg of downforce at 155 mph, bold blacked-out nose, slotted intakes, and aero channels that nod to the original Testarossa.

Interior: Driver-focused wraparound cockpit with raised center console, no central touchscreen—infotainment lives in the driver’s display.

Variants & Pricing: Coupe (€460,000) and Spider (€500,000), with EU deliveries starting 2026, U.S. later with tariffs pushing prices higher.

Legacy Tie-In: Ferrari recently won back the Testarossa name in EU court, reviving one of the brand’s most legendary badges.

Plus: Porsche’s new Turbo S T-Hybrid obliterates Nürburgring times, Porsche’s Macan replacement shifts to FWD bias, and Casey breaks down Porsche’s new wireless EV charging tech.

3. Resto-Mod Bubble Debate:
Is the perfect stock car the new holy grail? With bespoke builds from Singer, Ruf, Tuthill, and Canepa dominating auctions, what’s the future for ultra-high-end resto-mods? We break down values, the “Insta effect,” and why unmolested classics may be the real winners.

4. Over-Hyped Cars That Might Crash:
From EVs like Hummer EV or Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, to Ferrari Purosangue, modern McLarens, Rimac, and endless special-edition 911s—what’s hot now but destined to cool fast?

5. Greatest Modern Supercar?
Tim argues the Ruf CTR Anniversary is today’s McLaren F1—no upper limit on value, pure driver’s car, and recent sales topping $3M.

6. Auction Watch:
We’re tracking heavy hitters like the 1996 Porsche 911 GT2 and 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, complete with Classic.com comps and valuation trends.

Bonus Segment:
By popular demand, “What watch are you wearing today?” returns—because great taste in cars always pairs with great taste in timepieces.

 If you’re into Ferrari, Porsche, resto-mod culture, collector car auctions, and unfiltered automotive news, this is your show.

On this week’s Full Throttle Talk, we’re going full fantasy football… but for Porsches. Half a million bucks to blow on three modern cars (1999+). Who builds the best garage? Spoiler: everyone thinks they win.

The $500K Porsche Draft

Tim swings big with a Mezger RS, a widowmaker GT2, and a cult Cayman R (and immediately declares victory).

Paul goes left field: a 996.2 GT3, a diesel Cayenne turned overlanding apocalypse rig, and a Carrera T that’s basically nerd-spec porn.

Dave grabs a brand-new GT3 RS, a GT4, and a Macan GTS for the “daily driver balance sheet.”

Casey? He’s hunting unicorns: a 997 RS, a Boxster Spyder, and a Transsyberia SUV that’ll eat $20K in repairs before you even park it. He also has a backup plan involving a 3.8-swapped Spyder, because of course he does.

What We Did in Cars

Tim fell head over heels for the Ferrari 296 GTS, dragged his TR2 home, burned hours in a racing sim, announced he’s going back to karting (with Zoe racing too), and has a 550 Spyder project finally inching forward.

Paul partied at Matt Farah’s house, argued with Lieberman, Glucker, and Marco at TLG, then argued with his wife about taking her Volvo on a rally before panic-reserving a base Macan.

Dave got hands-on with Hendrick Porsche’s ex-GM test mule 959, plus geeked out over what Singer does with leather (and whether it’s worth the six-figure markup).

Casey remembered he actually owns a 964, took it to a brewery, and washed cars like a guy working off sins.

Listener Questions

Who really buys Porsches these days?

Are the GT3 RS flash-and-style types Porsche’s target, or is it happening organically?

Are 1990s cars “vintage” now, or is that just Gen Z gaslighting us?

This Week in Auctions

Tim’s watching the Porsche GT market split wide open (limited vs. unlimited). On his radar: a 911 S/T, a 50th Anniversary GT3 RS, and a GT2 RS slugfest.

Paul breaks down Magnus Walker’s 996 “celebrity tax” — same car without his name? You’d pay half.

Dave and Casey pile on about who’s actually paying for that kind of markup.

And Yes, Tariffs

Because nothing gets car people worked up like a 3.6% surcharge on their six-figure toys.

It’s Porsche nerding, Ferrari flirting, auction autopsies, and enough side rants to fill another podcast. If you came here for polite chatter and artisanal coffee talk, you’re in the wrong garage.
