Full Throttle Talk

PTS Obsession, RS Showdowns & The $40K Surprise Lurking in Your 911

This week’s Full Throttle Talk is a no-holds-barred Porsche deep dive, and it’s one of our most opinion-packed episodes yet. Tim Harris, Paul Kramer, Casey Parkin, and Dave Van Epps fire up the mics to tackle the questions that Porsche owners argue over in garages, group chats, and concours lawns worldwide.

Why are Porsche fanatics willing to spend $20,000+ just to get the exact shade of green last seen on a '74 Carrera RS? We unpack the psychology, the scarcity, and the resale math behind Paint to Sample. Is it emotional vanity, smart investment—or both? You'll never look at a pastel orange GT3 the same way again.

We put the spotlight on the most undervalued and overhyped modern Porsche RS models. Some are tracking quietly under the radar… others are riding high on reputation alone. Which RS is still a steal—and which one is about to get a market correction?

Think rebuilding your stock 911 SC motor is a $10K weekend project? Think again. We walk you through the true cost of a standard rebuild—and why even a no-frills, numbers-matching engine refresh could set you back $30K–$40K. No mods. No tuning. Just reality.

Which delivers the better drive: the ultra-refined, perfectly balanced 911 R, or the raw, analog grit of the legendary 964 RS? We compare notes, impressions, and real-world experiences to help you pick your dream garage weapon.

And if that’s not enough? We couldn’t resist a few detours into Italian territory—with some spicy Pagani talk and Ferrari market insight to round out the ride.

This episode is a love letter to car obsession—where color choices spark bidding wars, and a rebuilt flat-six becomes a six-figure affair. Strap in. It's Full Throttle time.
