GT Smokies, A Rented GT3RS Gets Rolled & A $10M+ RS Collection Hits BaT | Shifted Opinions Ep. 13

Dave Van Epps is days away from putting his brand-new 1,200-mile 2025 GT3RS on track at VIR for GT Smokies — and the nerves are real. Paul Kramer talks him off the ledge with hard-earned track wisdom, while Casey Parkin quietly reveals he's managing 14 auction cars, including a landmark 8-car RS collection drop on Bring a Trailer featuring multiple 991 RSes, a Ford GT Heritage Edition, a Ferrari Pista, and a Ferrari Speciale. Also in this episode: the Malibu GT3RS rental that rolled down a cliff (and why traction control on modern Porsches is not optional), the hidden danger of full-leather dashes on Macans and 997s, Paul's long-running saga to rehab a 1971 911T Targa "El Fuego," the G50 vs. 915 transmission debate, whether mid-year 911s have already had their moment, and the best way to upgrade a Luxor beige interior without touching eBay.
