We get into what these cars actually are, what they cost, and whether a one and a half million dollar Porsche can possibly be worth the money. </p><p><br></p><p>From there we wander, the way these talks do, into the Lexus LFA, the Audi R8, hydraulic versus electric steering, why modern engines keep grenading, and the most useful thing Zack said all night: power gets boring, and the base model is usually the smarter buy. If you've heard me preach that on this channel, you'll like where this one goes.</p><p><br></p><p>Zack has driven the stuff most of us only get to read about, and he talks about it like a normal person, which is the whole point of this show.</p><p><br></p><p>Also: Check out The Smoking Tire Live Show with the amazing Christian Hand!!!</p><p>https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-smoking-tire-podcast-christian-james-hand-tickets-1991203255539</p><p><br></p><p>Chapters</p><p> 0:00 Meet Zack Klapman</p><p> 1:13 Why restomods, and who this episode is for</p><p> 2:19 What a restomod actually is</p><p> 4:36 Why a Singer or Gunther Werks isn't really a restomod</p><p> 5:40 Singer's ethos vs Gunther Werks' ethos</p><p> 7:34 What these cars actually cost</p><p> 8:14 Is a 1.5 million dollar Porsche worth it</p><p> 11:00 Driving a Singer, and the Lexus LFA comparison</p><p> 14:40 The supercar the market never understood</p><p> 16:46 The LC500, the R8, and great cars that stayed cheap</p><p> 22:14 Hydraulic vs EPAS, and why \"old is always better\" is lazy</p><p> 25:12 Porsche curmudgeon culture</p><p> 28:08 Why modern engines keep breaking</p><p> 32:00 The walnut blasting BMW story</p><p> 35:01 What it's like to drive a million dollar car</p><p> 37:20 Getting jaded, and Jay Leno's rule</p><p> 39:49 The perfect horsepower number</p><p> 42:18 Why the base model is usually the smart buy</p><p> 45:49 The one Porsche Zack would actually buy</p><p> 49:36 Is the Porsche market finally softening</p><p> 51:00 Go watch Driver's Test</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Find Zack:</strong></p><p> Driver's Test: https://www.youtube.com/@ZackKlapmansDriversTest</p><p> The Smoking Tire: youtube.com/thesmokingtire</p><p> Instagram: instagram.com/therealzackklapman</p><p><br></p><p><strong>ElevenAfterNine:</strong></p><p> Main Channel: youtube.com/@ElevenAfterNine</p><p> Instagram: instagram.com/TheElevenAfterNine</p><p> Web: www.ElevenAfterNine.com</p>","author_name":"Derek"}
