  • 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.

  • Has Ferrari Sold Out? Is Porsche Next? + $75K Daily Drivers & Tariff Fallout

    Has Ferrari Sold Out? Is Porsche Next? + $75K Daily Drivers & Tariff Fallout
    Jul 24 2025
    This week on Full Throttle Talk, we’re calling it like we see it: – Has Ferrari officially become a fashion brand? Are the cars still built for drivers—or for influencers with leased watches and TikTok egos?– Is Porsche heading the same way? Chasing lifestyle over lap times?– And let’s talk new car pricing insanity—why are enthusiast cars now $300K tech pods with fake engine sounds? We also dive into:– The real impact of tariffs on new and used car values—and how it’s warping buyer perception– This or That: What’s the best daily driver under $75K? (Hint: If you said “Tesla,” stop listening.)– What we did this week in cars—including garage updates, auction picks, and what’s breaking next Finally, we ask the big one:As new cars get heavier, pricier, and more soulless… does that make older analog cars even more valuable—or are they peaking? No fluff. No filters. Just real car talk, the way it should be.
