Maserati MC20 GT2 Stradale Review; Toxic Brake Pads; Forum Drama; Q&A

Zack reviews Maserati's new street-legal track car, the MC20 GT2 Stradale; we talk about a new study on brake pads that seems to leave out a crucial piece of information; what's our favorite forum drama?; and we answer Patreon questions including:

  • - Should I reprogram the software in my brand new M3?
  • - Will auto shows ever become as big as CES?
  • - If Honda has an all-electric turbo on a motorcycle, why not a car?
  • - Rumored Porsche Turbo manual?
  • - Porsche Cayenne GTS vs Audi RS6 vs XB7: what should I do?
  • - Should I put a roll cage in my daily track car?
  • - Why didn't Acura make a fast SUV?
  • - Would a cheap, fun EV sway more people?
  • - Times when our car hobby had to take a back seat
  • - And more!
