Who Made the BEST Cars in Each Decade? - TST Podcast #807

Matt is back from scouting the Southern route for Road & Track's "Smoky 600" event and tells us about the good roads and where to visit; Zack went to the launch for the Hummer EV SUV; the government might address the fast/heavy EV SUV issue. Patreon questions include: Who made the best cars in a specific decade; is more displacement the answer; what dream car "Turducken" would we build; whether or not to track the same type of car you daily; do fun EV commuter cars exist?; why Porsche might be stifling 911 production; where do Matt and Zack disagree; and more! https://experiences.roadandtrack.com/ Recorded March 13, 2023 Tune in to the NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, March 19th at 3:00 PM Eastern on FOX.
