  • Monterey Car Week—From Concours to Carbon Fiber Chaos
    2025/08/23
    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
    2025/08/14
    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.
