best chassis worst engine contender: 1st gen 86 / BRZ?
The crossover event of the year!
Thank you, Thomas for mentioning @ 30:34 that they were talking about the Mustang GT. TST will go into the weeds without naming about the type of car they're discussing or even showing a picture. Thank you, Throttle House, for being on this podcast. you guys are the best!
Lol they can't understand why Gordon Murray doesnt care about youtubers
Me and Thomas were in sync on this car value stuff
…the TREMEC 3160 in the Mach 1 and GT350 is actually weaker than the MT-82. Hollow gear shafts, and splits down the case behind the 5.2L. There's a reason Ford stopped making the GT350 engine…insane oil consumption and alarming number of warranty replacements. Look how many are for sale used….there's a reason for that.
I actually agree that the C AMG cars should not have the same engine as the E and S AMG cars, like in the past.
"For the sake of making the best videos we possibly can??😅😂😂😂 Capitalism works…till it doesn't
"What's wrong with the MT-82?"
The clutch.
It's not a bad transmission. Survives in stock form revving to 8000rpm with Cobra Jet/Boss/GT350 manifolds or behind 750rwhp supercharger kits. Change the clutch and shifter (if you want) and you can do whatever.
I've had two…2014 and 2019 currently. 19 doesn't like powershifting…so I lift a little…and it's fine.
OK… Mulsanne, named after the City of Mulsanne wich has the famous 24h of Le Mans''s track on its road. Like the Mulsanne straight and Turn… Bentley won LeMans… Took the name there.

The only podcast I watch. Period. Great content with great guests. Been watching TH guys before they had 10k subs. Glad to see them on again
Great podcast. Thanks to all of you.
is Kia Stinger GT Scorpion AWD twin turbo V6 gonna appreciate ?
The best guys to guest!! 🔥
31:50 Scat is poo to you but its ohmage to the "Rat Pack" Knowing your history is fun… but yeah we know Matt hates anything from the 60s and deals with American Muscle.
Love these guys!
I live for these eps wish they were more regular guests, damn you Canada!!!
When I'm just listening to the Throttle House guys on TST I always think Thomas is J Ryan until I hear a Canadian(Vs. New York)linguistic tell. Yeah, I'm that guy.
The superior Canadian car YouTube channel.
The smoking tire NFT shirts are fantastic. I genuinely hope you guys continue to make more of them. Maybe some VW/Audi/Porsche stuff. Most B5 S4s are eternally broken.
Not related to this episode, but just saw a big article on Slate that is from a breaking investigative news piece from Reuters. About Tesla lying about the range of their cars for years.
It reminds me of the Toyota document about hybrids the pod talked about a few months ago.
Hope they discuss this article on the next pod.
I don’t get why these TH guys are bigger than TST, do people like the silly skits? “Comedy”
But as a Canadian I’m proud of them 😅 pretty unusual.
best guests
1:17:40 wish they would have looked at more exotic stuff. But normal cars will never appreciate a lot is what this shows. You would get more value out of driving them. Every time I see a Corvette at a car show and it says low miles, I think its not worth much more than the one right next to it that was driven.
