ZR1X vs the World, Porsche 911 Seam Welded Truths & Bring-a-Trailer Battles

This week on Full Throttle Talk, we hit redline on controversy. Tim Harris, Paul Kramer, Casey Parkin, and Dave Van Epps dive headfirst into the rumored Nürburgring lap time of the upcoming Corvette ZR1X—reportedly a mind-melting 6:28. That’s faster than the AMG One. So what happens when a Chevy, built in Bowling Green, becomes the fastest production car on Earth… on Germany’s home turf? Let’s just say: Enzo’s ghost may need a stiff drink.

We also break down the do’s and don’ts of car rallies (spoiler: there’s a correct way to sticker a supercar), plus another round of “This or That,” where two Bring-a-Trailer finds under $30K battle for budget brilliance.

Then, Dave throws playful shade at 997 GT3s while we ask: is the 996 GT3 secretly the king of all GT3s? (Did you know it was seam-welded from the factory while the 997 used a 997S chassis? Yeah. It’s a thing.)
Finally, it’s the $700,000 question: if you could only pick one—911 ST, 458 Speciale, or Ford GT—what’s your play? The fact that all four hosts unanimously agreed is either a miracle… or a sign of the apocalypse.
It’s loud, it’s nerdy, it’s chaotic—and it’s Full Throttle Talk. Buckle up.
