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!
