Are Lifted 'Safari' Sports Cars More Fun in Town?

We're back in the studio! Matt Farah drove 1000 miles in a hypercar prototype that might be his favorite; Zack Klapman tested the new Hyundai Ioniq 6 N on the road and track (and has quite a story about it); plus we answer Patreon questions including:

• Why is my Porsche trying to kill me?
• Which car company would benefit the most from an election?
• Is this watch too good to be true?
• Sports cars for tall people
• Which cars do we want despite them being bad at some things?
• Are lifted sports cars more fun even on asphalt?
• Can you really feel a tune?
• Cars that get better with mileage; cars that don't
• Why is WCCS successful?
• Should I track my new Lexus IS500?
• Ford GT or Ferrari 296?
• Can a new Porsche Turbo ever be as fast as a GT3?
• Will the Aventador SVJ be worth millions one day?
• And more!
