On this week’s Full Throttle Talk, we’re going full fantasy football… but for Porsches.
💸 Half a million bucks to blow on three modern cars (1999+). Who builds the best garage? Spoiler: everyone thinks they win.

🏎️ The $500K Porsche Draft

Tim: Mezger RS, widowmaker GT2, cult Cayman R (and immediately declares victory).

Paul: 996.2 GT3, diesel Cayenne overlanding apocalypse rig, Carrera T nerd-spec.

Dave: Brand-new GT3 RS, GT4, and Macan GTS (for “daily driver balance sheet”).

Casey: 997 RS, Boxster Spyder, and Transsyberia SUV (with $20K in repairs). Backup plan? A 3.8-swapped Spyder.

🚗 What We Did in Cars

Tim: Fell for the Ferrari 296 GTS, dragged his TR2 home, spent hours in a racing sim, announced he’s going back to karting (Zoe too), and finally made progress on his 550 Spyder project.

Paul: Partied at Matt Farah’s, argued with Lieberman/Glucker/Marco at TLG, then with his wife about taking her Volvo on a rally—panic-reserved a base Macan instead.

Dave: Got hands-on with Hendrick Porsche’s ex-GM test mule 959, and geeked out over Singer leather (and the six-figure markup).

Casey: Remembered he owns a 964, took it to a brewery, and washed cars like a guy working off sins.

❓ Listener Questions

Who really buys Porsches these days?

Are GT3 RS “flash-and-style” types Porsche’s target, or is it organic?

Are 1990s cars “vintage” now—or is Gen Z gaslighting us?

💰 This Week in Auctions

Tim: Watching Porsche GT market split (limited vs. unlimited). On the radar: 911 S/T, 50th Anniversary GT3 RS, GT2 RS slugfest.

Paul: Breaks down Magnus Walker’s 996 “celebrity tax” — without his name, you’d pay half.

Dave & Casey: Who’s really paying for the markup?

📈 And Yes, Tariffs

Because nothing gets car people worked up like a 3.6% surcharge on their six-figure toys.

It’s Porsche nerding, Ferrari flirting, auction autopsies, and enough side rants to fill another podcast.
👉 If you came here for polite chatter and artisanal coffee talk, you’re in the wrong garage.
