From there, the conversation gets weird fast. Porsche San Luis Obispo is asking $2.3 million for a 2019 GT2 RS because of a Python Green Chromaflair paint option. Is it a flex? Instagram bait? Genuine optimism? Jonny drops the car-of-the-week segment with a full review of the Subaru Trailseeker EV, including specs that nobody expected: 375 hp dual-motor, 4.3-second 0-60, 281 miles of range, 8.5 inches of ground clearance, and a price that undercuts the Rivian R2. It's the Subaru Trailseeker EV review nobody saw coming. On the motorsport front: Jonny praises the Ford Mustang GTD, calling it one of the most remarkable engineering achievements in recent memory. Ford is also track-testing a new car for the Ford Le Mans hypercar 2027 program under Jim Farley's watch. The land speed record gets a full breakdown too. Listener questions cover Zuckerman's one-drive-and-done Porsche, a deep dive into the Porsche 964 cup car and what makes it nearly unlivable on the road, and the Longines Hydroconquest dive watch (yes, they argue about how to say it). The Zuckerman car collection takes another hit when he admits he sold an Audi R8 V10 Spyder after a single drive. The episode wraps with the multi-year nightmare of trying to register a California vanity plate for a Zagato. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - LA cannot handle the rain 03:55 - Porsche dealership selling 911s for millions 09:55 - Apple's new CEO races Porsches? 11:04 - Ford's new hypercar 20:38 - Subaru Trailseeker review 29:17 - Is this the future of car power? 36:03 - The colorful characters of LA 38:47 - Man gets ducktaped to plane seat 44:24 - Immediate regret car purchases 45:50 - Real car journalism 51:16 - Watches 52:48 - 1992 Porsche 964 cup car Learn more about your ad choices.
