Matt reveals details about his custom Myers Manx with its stratospheric blue metallic gel coat, beach-themed interior, and hot dog shifter knob.\n\nMatt then delivers an unfiltered review of the Ford Mustang GTD (huge but impressive) and the mind-blowing Czinger 21C, which he calls \"the fastest thing I've ever driven\" and \"pure lunacy.\" The conversation shifts to Road & Track's Performance Car of the Year competition, with Matt subtly hinting at the Corvette ZR1's and Lamborghini Temerario's strong performance.\n\nThe episode wraps with a practical solution to the Porsche 718 Spyder RS top fault problem, proving once again that sometimes the simplest fixes are the most elusive.\n_____________________________________________\n\n📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media:\ncontact@neontiger.media\n🌐 or visit:\nhttps://scrpod.com/sponsor\n\nProduced by \nSkyview Entertainment\n&\nQ6 Media\nhttps://q6.media\nLearn more about your ad choices.
