- Matt spent the weekend in the Aston Martin DBX 707 Edition and drove an electric Shelby Cobra. Zack had a ‘90s day and drove a crazy Frankenstein Eclipse GSX and a 400HP 240SX. And we answer questions about whether or not the newest car makes the best track car; is buying a German super sedan a good use of $40k; keep or upgrade: Mazda 2 commuter edition; $500 watches; and more!

TST CREW ONLY-- best part of the week
Just a handful of guests comes to mind that make a better show than crew only...
@@gustavoflorio5383 I agree. Was trying to think of some and they're subjective. There was a young designer guy who was super interesting and a navy guy also
@@gustavoflorio5383 Any show with Jonny, Spinelli, or Jeff Glucker is a good one
Interesting to hear Matt say that Wilwood brakes are not good. I'll take his word for it, but I've only ever heard good things about them in the past.
TST Crewcast feat. Tommy Vercetti and Josh
I have to say tho, these podcasts add to my favorite part of your vids, the intro (driver changes if it's a two take) and verdict while adding so much about the experience after it's simmered for a while in your head. So they definitely add to the takes, not replace them for me.
As always, love a crewcast!
Why you gotta do my boy josh like that.
Tommy Vercetti? Shit….didn’t think they’d ever let him out 😜
Gotta love the 1 series. Decent all rounder, and the E82 has the potential for greatness with some light modification. HPAS, RWD, 6spd/DCT, functional yet clean interior (navless or facelift nav). As Zack mentioned, the size is a huge bonus, too.
Great road cars, but I'd be hesitant to track one. As an HPDE instructor, I've seen nothing but problems with them when used for track days. Not so much the car itself, but the engine & mechanicals cause owners constant grief. Limp modes, fuel supply issues, turbo failures, multiple engine failures, etc. I've seen it all firsthand, and I'm a BMW owner.
@@ZeGermanHam Yeah, I trust it as a daily and a canyon car, but there are many better options for regular track use, unless you're willing to spend a lot of money.
For me as a neurodiverget type the intersection of my love of music, and the sounds that cars make in relation to the experience they provide, is one of the most enjoyable aspects of being into cars.
SAME! Tell me your favourites
My top is the Zonda and in particular the F with its ceramic headers and special mufflers, after that Audis 4.2 V8 especially in the spyker and Askari kz1, the Ferrari F50 and 550 are the best sounding Ferrari imo, the LFA for sure, classic British I6’s like Aston and jags from back in the day, the best V8 though is the little one in the Alfa 33 tipo stradale, oh man I could keep going, SOUND MAKES IT FOR ME!
@@Prodriver33 pagani certainly has some of the best interiors as well. As far as engine noises, the VR6 also sounds fantastic
"Sorry pedestrians, but my wonky brain says I MUST be at 8k rpm as much as possible"
I love the podcast and I'm a enthusiast of that generation bmws but the N54 135 at 100k miles is tough age. Water pumps,, oil pan gasket, ofhg gasket,injectors, high pressure fuel pumps, even turbos at that mileage are notorious for failing. Hopefully you guys can get in and out without a major hiccup from those things. N55s are starting to have a lot of bearing failures.
That said it's a pretty well documented platform. M3 arms, M3 rear sway, kw V3 coils, inlets, intercooler, MHD stage 1+ tune done. 4k in mods 15k in engine "maintenance "
135i giveaway sounds cool! Also props to the owner that put 200k miles on their 993
Very stoked to hear that you drove Miguel's DSM! That thing is awesome. Can't wait for the video.
I really enjoyed the Q&A. There were a bunch of questions that addressed questions of my own or made me laugh. Excellent show
Loving the recents podcasts guys, great guests and great topics.
I loved the recent R34 video as well.
Since you guys are going back and driving modern classics, I would love to see you guys revisit a 458 speciale. As a 991.2 GT3 owner ( right hand drive - I live in Scotland), I could for a bit more money switch to 458 speciale, but a left hand drive.
I had a quick test drive of a 458 speciale, and my first impressions were that it was just more balanced feeling , and special than the GT3…
Excited for the 135 build!
Maserati MC12 won a bunch of championships in GT1
I don’t want to diss anyone’s build, it takes a ton of talent, but bringing a car to a review without tire clearance is a bad look. I don’t love static sports cars
I'll diss it. That was a dumbass move, now he's going to look really stupid. If I were Matt I would have parked it.
427 cobras are nose heavy, but they also have massive gas tanks which can shift the weight back to less then 50%.
Yes perfect just finished the other episode and I got 2 hours till I’m out of work thanks
You guys might consider m3 suspension arm bits on the 135i. Which bolt right on and are spot on with your goal of street usability with canyon fun.
IMO....AWD vs RWD rally technique...the science of going fast vs the art of going fast on loose surfaces. Both fun but AWD technique probably easier to grasp first as rotation is mostly braking modulated, more formulaic in how to slide around a corner. The BRZ is a much more willing dance partner once you are comfortable initiating rotation under braking and can mix in throttle to maintain the rotation through corners.
Having done both classes I'd generally recommend AWD first if you think you will go back for the other one. I feel like RWD has a steeper more frustrating learning curve but a greater sense of satisfaction once you "get it". The STIs were faster though if speed is your thing.
I f..king love my old Seiko watches, I was buying old 70's ones when I was in my 20's, & haven't stopped, I've got some more impressive watches from high end manufacturers but I'll always return to the Seiko's, Rj in Oz
@aidan squires 1:05:40 - I really enjoy my Tissot Visodate Automatic - it has a beautiful crystal, clear case-back, quality feel, cool mesh-y metal band, and has an ETA 2836-2 movement. Also jumping on Matt's rec of Seikos - they're tanks.
I have a Tiffany Blue Nautilus seiko that people literally snap their necks trying to figure out what they just saw walk by them. It’s amazing. $650 bucks shipped.
For the guy asking about $500 Watches go find Teddy Baldassarre's channel.
135i Surprised you didn’t make it a drag car. Full bolt ons with a single turbo kit can push 700whp reliably
Aston Martin Cygnet. That's the only bad thing AM have done in the 21st Century
The 200k mile 911 guy should go talk to Vin from hoonigan
I’m into this 135 idea!
You can find a clean M5 for 50K, those cars depreciate very quickly. The maintenance no worse on these with 60k miles
What I don't understand , is how a modern Cobra replica - with decent suspension parts and brakes and good adjustment - couldn't easily outrun any SUV on those canyon roads , regardless of the power the SUV engine makes .
A mid-range Caterham certainly could .
Granted, beyond 100mph or so aero might become a factor , but at that point it's not exactly a 'canyon road' you're on ;) .
Bold move after seeing the 135i on sorted. I like the idea though!!
Matts Shirt reminds me of Tommy Vercetti in GTA Vice City!
Dude.....that was not mila kunis in the forty yr old virgin, it was mindy kaling.
Nobody talked about a 240sx… yea i that guy 😂
On the EV charging station question, when enough EV are sold that building charging stations will be profitable, someone will build them
As far as watches go, have you checked out Zelos?
I miss my 09 135i 6spd.
I'm here, in the stu stu studio
Gsf did not come out in 2016.
Check out electric classic cars. I love their defender
Check out Electric Classic Cars, some of the classics have real character
Seiko, Casio, Luminox
Willwood are not good brakes?
Ya what? Doesn’t jay leno swear by them and use them in all upgrades?
@@Prodriver33 That's what I thought.
@@MrUltraworld I could be mistaken, maybe someone else could confirm...but, I believe Jay swears by them for an upgrade/retrofit to classic cars as that is Wilwood's focus. They're great improvements from the old braking systems and they have more options for retrofitting to classic cars, but the other big-name brakes stop better.
They’d certainly be an upgrade over vintage brakes, but in a 600hp car it’s very possible that the pad compound and fluids aren’t as capable as StopTech, Brembo, AP Racing, Akebono, Baer, Hawk, or EBC. Stopping a cool muscle car is different than a true performance car.
Willwood, Brembo and Baer are the best around for street cars. Don't listen to what Matt says.
Zack, is the 135i the twin or single turbo?
Matt, a lot of autistic people me included, have sensory issues with loud noises. Loud exhausts can be pretty overwhelming for me.
What? You're giving away a 135i with TST approved mods?! Damn!
a collaboration with Fat Cat Motorsports would be very interesting on the TST 135i suspension (given you know very well that "hard is not always fast" give it a look th-cam.com/users/SuspensionTruth , his channel
Thoughts on new mustang?
This show was likely recorded before the reveal; but it doesn’t seem like Ford changed very much, and I don’t think it looks better
@@nathanchildress5596 yea was hoping they would see comments
@@chrish9502 They will talk about it next show guaranteed.
I think it's just a reheated S550 that they've made uglier inside and out. I was pretty disappointed when I watched the live reveal.
