  • Porsche Has Lost Its Mind, Auction Meltdowns & The $250K Dream-Car Cage Match

    Porsche Has Lost Its Mind, Auction Meltdowns & The $250K Dream-Car Cage Match
    Aug 30 2025
    This week on Full Throttle Talk, the crew goes off the rails (again) and nothing is safe: This week in cars: Tim brags about finishing 2nd at Mid-Ohio…on his racing SIM (doesn’t count). Dave is still tinkering with his “Black Betty” science project. Casey drove a Ferrari 550 and flexed about meeting Alwin Springer. Paul? He’s still triggered about fake sports cars with Apple CarPlay. Automotive insanity: Is Porsche about to unleash 47 new “special editions” just to squeeze the fanboys? GT3 Cabrio, GT2 Touring, 1,000-hp Turbo Hybrid, $8k decals — have they completely lost the plot? Auction meltdowns: From purple-wheeled GT3RSs selling for $428k to “Emory-wannabe” 356s, we break down what’s hot, what’s cold, and what was flat-out robbery. This, That, or The Other: You only get ONE car under $250k for the rest of your life. The choices spark a cage match and more than a little trash talk. Listener Q: 996 vs. C8 Z06 — who wins, who cries, and who gets roasted for their pick. And somewhere in the chaos, we actually stumble onto a few smart takes about trends, values, and why Porsche might be trying to out-Ferrari Ferrari with its “tailor-made” obsession. It’s salty, it’s loud, and it’s packed with car nerd nonsense — in other words, a classic Full Throttle Talk episode.

  • Monterey Car Week—From Concours to Carbon Fiber Chaos

    Monterey Car Week—From Concours to Carbon Fiber Chaos
    Aug 23 2025
    Monterey Car Week isn’t what it used to be—and that’s not a bad thing, depending on who you ask. The genteel, wine-and-cheese concours vibe is giving way to a new era of carbon fiber chaos, lifestyle flexing, and influencer-driven hype. From $1M+ one-off boutique builds (it’s not just Singer anymore—dozens of shops are chasing “ultra-exclusive” status) to sky-high ticket prices and an endless sea of YouTubers, the car world is being redefined in real time. Tim recaps his Monterey adventures (plus his shocking purchase of a 1954 Triumph TR2—Egad, not a 911… what will Paul say!?). We debate whether Chinese EVs could spell the downfall of Porsche, BMW, and the European car industry as we know it. We also call out the rise of “safe” car journalism and the flood of shallow influencer content drowning the real enthusiasts. It’s raw, fun, and maybe a little controversial—but that’s exactly how we like it.

  • GT2RS Hybrid Monster, Monterey’s Wildest Auctions & The Corvette That Crashed the Quail

    GT2RS Hybrid Monster, Monterey’s Wildest Auctions & The Corvette That Crashed the Quail
    Aug 14 2025
    Porsche’s aiming to rewrite the Nürburgring record books, auctions are getting ridiculous, and Chevy just walked into the fanciest party of the year with a 1,250HP gatecrasher. This week on Full Throttle Talk: Monterey Car Week Mayhem – Tim’s running wide open through auctions, reveals, and private previews. Which cars are all hype, and which ones might actually be steals? GT2RS Leaks – The hybrid, twin-electric-turbo, 1,000HP beast that’s gunning for AMG One’s Nürburgring crown. Dream Car Showdown – You get one $250K-ish pick. Three options, one survivor. Prepare to fight for your choice. Spoilers vs. Wings – Downforce or just down for the ‘Gram? Auction Heat – A one-of-65 ‘85 911 M491 widebody, a salvage-title Carrera RS sleeper, BMW CSLs, and 964 Turbos with eyebrow-raising price jumps. The Quail Crash – Chevy plants the ZR1X (1,250 HP, $207K) smack in the middle of $2M hypercars. Genius or madness? If it’s rare, loud, fast, or slightly insane—it’s on the docket. Strap in, it’s going to get rowdy.
