Matt Farah reviews the new 2025 Porsche Taycan GTS and compares to his older Taycan; Zack Klapman has his first religious experience in a fast, angry air-cooled 911; the NSX is up for sale; and we find something very, very odd on a wheel.

Racing school vs 1-on-1 coaching Could Porsche ever build a NEW air-cooled car? M3 plans? Need a luxurious, reliable daily for a LONG commute F/M/K: FD RX7, 2003 SL500, 2006 997.1 Cars with short overhangs for bad garages. Will we drive the SCG SC004? Used Mercedes EQS prices are LOW; Buy? Used F-Pace vs used Velar Fun manual cars under $30k? Jaguar F-Pace SVR or Maserati Levante Trofeo? And more!
