Slow Car Fast vs. Fast Car Slow: GT3s, Miatas, Manuals & Overrated Icons

April 30, 2026·1h 6m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Blair Smith and Shinoo Mapleton tackle one of the best enthusiast debates: is it more fun to drive a slow car fast or a fast car slow? After Blair spends time in a 992.2 GT3 and Shinoo pushes a Miata through technical canyon roads, they compare modern speed, refinement, NVH, driver involvement, and why some cars feel thrilling while others feel too isolated. They also cover manual transmission take rates, Ferrari’s expensive EV plans, Morgan’s new Super Sport 400, and a few “overrated” cars that might upset Porsche, BMW, and GT-R fans.
