    Thanksgiving Special! Air-Cooled Porsche Picks, Porsche News, GMA S1 LM $20M Sale & How to Love the Cars You Own
    Nov 26 2025
    🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, FTT Crew! This week’s Full Throttle Talk is a holiday feast of Porsche news, wild shop stories, a $20.6M GMA S1 LM sale, a listener question that gets painfully honest (“How do you stay happy with the cars you own?”), AND our Air-Cooled Porsche “This or That” under $150K. This is the perfect Thanksgiving episode: equal parts gratitude, chaos, and questionable financial decisions. 🔧 Segment #1: What We Did in Cars This Week Tim takes a Ferrari 296 GT3 from 20th → 2nd at Mid-Ohio (sim). Paul returns to driving post-surgery with La Tortuga + a Gulf Blue ’74. Casey bonds with the 911. David revives a battered 911 dubbed “Panda,” sells it, then discovers a pre-delivery transmission surprise. Moral: Don’t buy sight-unseen. Ever. 📰 Segment #2: Automotive News Porsche Sonderwunsch Cayenne drama (designer hot take inside). GMA S1 LM sells for $20.6M. VW’s “Azul” Magic Bus returns after the Palisades fires. Alpina B8 deep-dive by Hagerty. Hyundai’s new Magma Concept—big vibes, big questions. 💭 Listener Question: “How do you stay happy with the cars you own?” We get real about fizz, purpose, emotional attachment, and the dangerous influence of other enthusiasts. ⚖️ This or That: Two air-cooled Porsches under $150K you'd keep for 5–10 years. Conda Green 911S, America Roadster, Dolphin Grey ’66, Eddie Irvine’s old 930, Aventura Green 993, and more. 👇 Want to be featured? Drop your questions in the comments or DM us on IG.

  • V12 Regrets, 911 Turbo Value Hunt & Listener Roast – Full Throttle Talk #39

    V12 Regrets, 911 Turbo Value Hunt & Listener Roast – Full Throttle Talk #39
    Nov 12 2025
    Welcome to another wild ride with the FTT crew — if you thought you were just getting car talk, buckle up. This week: “What we did in cars” — because one of us is still obsessing over that Honda Odyssey Type R by Bisimoto Engineering, and another has spent way too much time with a fake “9146 GT.” Auto-news that’ll make your shop feel under-equipped: twin-cam conversions, sports car rumors, and the return of purposeful builds. “I could’ve had a V12” — yes, we’re dragging you into the deep end. Two V12 options (one modern, one vintage) under ~$600K. Flat-12 counts. W12s? Nope. We’re better than that. Turbo911 value raid — The Porsche 911 Turbo S price is off the charts. So we ask: why buy new when there’s garage gold hiding in the back catalog (997.2, 991.1, you’re up)? Listener questions & comments: We’re roasting, praising, and straight-up answering your real-world car dilemmas. This or That: Unlimited budget, one car, limited garage space. Which beast would you pick? Smash that Subscribe, hit the bell, and sign up for our newsletter if you want the behind-the-scenes + bonus snark (yes, it’s real).
