Episode Description from the Publisher

BMW may have finally built a modern enthusiast car worth caring about. In this episode, the Full Throttle Talk crew breaks down the new manual-only rear-wheel-drive BMW M3 CS, why modern sports cars feel increasingly disconnected, and how manufacturers may finally be waking up to what drivers actually want. They also debate the Porsche GT4 gearing controversy, Audi R8 vs Lamborghini Gallardo, Nissan’s surprisingly good new Z NISMO, analog GT3 race cars, and why race cars rarely make good road cars. Plus plenty of real-world shop stories, driving impressions, and enthusiast chaos along the way. Subscribe to the newsletter: fullthrottletalk.com
