• Are you down with OODA? | Elliot Weil

  In this episode, Elliot Weil, founder of OODA Motorsports, joins us to talk about his Porsche journey and how real-world track failures led to engineering breakthroughs. Elliot shares his ownership experience with a 997.2 RS, including a catastrophic engine failure that didn't just stop him—it pushed him to innovate. Rather than accepting the limits of stock components, he developed new high-performance parts using better materials to enhance reliability for serious track work and high-performance applications. We dive deep into Elliot's approach to building the perfect Porsche, including the personal decision to change his dream car's color and the philosophy behind getting every detail right. The conversation covers the unique appeal of air-cooled ownership, navigating today's vintage Porsche market, and comparing the driving dynamics across different 911 generations. What draws enthusiasts to specific models? What makes one generation feel different from another? Elliot shares his future modification plans and what keeps the passion alive for these cars.

• 1193 HP, 300 Million and 3RS Touring

  In this episode, we're giving thanks to our people and diving into some major Porsche news that's shaking up the community. We kick things off with the all-new electric Cayenne—dropping November 20th with numbers that'll make your jaw drop. The top-tier Turbo model pumps out 1,193 hp with nearly the same torque figure, launching 0-60 in 2.3 seconds and crushing the quarter mile in 9 seconds. Starting at $160k, it features active aero in the front bumper, a rear roof spoiler that doubles as an air brake, active rear bumper fins, and Porsche's first curved center screen. Is this the EV that finally makes sense for Porsche purists, or just another heavy SUV with big numbers? Then we revisit a story long-time listeners might remember—the Porsche vs. The Collection lawsuit in Miami. Porsche wanted The Collection to build an exclusive dealership on their own dime, but Miami real estate being what it is, The Collection passed. Porsche allegedly responded by restricting allocations, putting them in what The Collection calls a "death spiral." Now they're suing Porsche for $300 million, and it's heading to trial in Miami. This got ugly fast—what does this say about how Porsche handles dealer relationships? We also tackle the 911 S/T pricing saga—these are trading between $635k and $805k with a median around $700k. Owners and journalists are calling it "the best modern 911 ever built." But haven't we heard that before? The GT3 RS 4.0, the 911 R—each generation seems to claim that crown. We break down the specs: the RS 4.0 with its legendary Mezger engine (500 hp, 9,000 rpm, 2,999 lbs), the 911 R (500 hp, 8,600 rpm, 3,000 lbs), and the S/T (525 hp, 9,000 rpm, 3,056 lbs). With only 600 RS 4.0s, 991 Rs, and 1,963 S/Ts produced, can they all hold that title? Let's discuss what truly makes a 911 "the best ever." Thank you for your support!

• GT4 R, Porsche Card and Cayenne EV Launch

  In this episode, we're giving thanks to our people and diving into some fresh Porsche news and builds that caught our attention. We kick things off with the Kelly Moss GT4R build that turned heads at SEMA—this rebodied GT4 Club Sport features carbon fiber everywhere, wider wheels, a titanium exhaust, and what looks like 911 headlights. Is this the ultimate track weapon or too much of a good thing? Then we tackle the new Porsche credit card—yes, you heard that right. Is this just a cash grab, or does earning points on your service visits actually make sense for enthusiasts? We'll break down the perks and whether this is another revenue stream for Stuttgart or something worth considering. We also share our thoughts on the HSR event, including what we enjoyed and why a less crowded experience might not be a bad thing. On the racing front, we discuss Porsche's quiet exit from WEC in Bahrain without a championship after such a promising start to the season with the 963, and what their focus on US racing like the Rolex 24 means for fans stateside. We preview the 2026 EV Cayenne debuting November 20th with 350 miles of range—can it compete with the Rivian R1S and other EV SUVs, or is Porsche late to the party? Plus, a merch update you won't want to miss. Thank you for your support! Kimchi Crew  Leslie, Chris, Ken, Aaron, Matthew, Sean and Nik

• New Management, Less Money, MR and Three Turbos

  In this episode, we tackle some heavy news coming out of Stuttgart that's got the Porsche world talking. We break down Porsche's projected $1.1 billion quarterly loss—what led to this, the leadership shakeup with Michael Leithers taking over as CEO, and what a potential "sleepy era" could mean for production and the models we love. We discuss the controversial announcement of yet another US price increase and whether Porsche is pricing enthusiasts out of the market entirely, plus what this means for the used and classic car values. Then we dive into the mysterious W18 patent with three turbos—is this the hypercar we've all been waiting for, or just another patent filing that goes nowhere? We also cover Porsche shopping their stake in Manthey Racing and what that signals about their financial strategy moving forward. This is a critical moment for the brand, and we want to hear your thoughts on where Porsche goes from here and how it impacts all of us as enthusiasts. Thank you for your support!

• Shake down, Luft and Leaving WEC

  In this episode, we recap an incredible run of events with our community. We dive into Targa Carolina—how the 993 performed, trailering logistics, and what's next for the car. Then we discuss the unforgettable Luft gathering, from the Durham highlights and that badass IROC race car to Charles' phenomenal pre-party at a local speed shop that proved the East Coast deserves more events like this. We also reflect on Fahren, where our amazing members, perfect weather, stunning roads, and killer swag made it another standout weekend. We explore what sets our rallies apart from the crowded, chaotic events filling up the roads these days, and why our approach is different. Finally, we discuss Porsche's decision to exit WEC while staying in IMSA—is this a cost-cutting move, and what does it mean for the brand's racing future? Join us for great stories, insights, and appreciation for the people who make these events special. Thank you for your support! Kimchi Crew Leslie, Chris, Ken, Aaron, Matthew, Sean and Nik
