We give our take on the new M5 Touring; review the insanely powerful 715HP Porsche 911T built by Flat6Motorsports; and answer your questions about:

• Is the C4 ZR1 worth the price over the LT1?
• Keep my allocation for one cool car or go for two cheaper cars: one fun and one practical?
• Manual swap dream: Ferrari 458 or Porsche 718 RS?
• What car to buy to keep up with a C7, 997 Carrera, and BMW M2?
• The CA DMV goes after Tesla autopilot.
• Is the BMW X5 M Comp better than the new M5 Touring?
• Is the 4-cylinder Bronco good enough?
• Putting a gated manual in non-exotics
• Is Goodwood FOS worth attending?
• And more!
