Leave it to the Hoonigans to find out. Brian Scotto's white 964 is one of the first two car Nakai-San built in the US, the first US-based RWB Turbo, and one of the first RWB turbos after Nakai's personal 930. Brian is no stranger to childish hooliganism in his 964, and this time had to find out if the car could manage a burnout. The attempt …

Who doesn't want to be Michael Delaney? The crew at Project 917 has it right, we all want to be Michael Delaney. Heck, if your priority is actually racing at Le Mans, being Michael Delaney might actually be better than being McQueen. We've covered this team before, and since then their goals have expanded.

Cass Whitehead, the head instructor at Porsche's Sport Driving School, estimates that he has done 50,000 laps of Barber Motorsports Park. Just for perspective, if we take the total number of laps Derek Bell has completed at 26 appearances at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, you get a figure of 7,642 laps.

Continue to the full articleWhy Did You Buy Your First Porsche? Jethro Bovingdon Explains His Choice of a 996.
Jethro Bovingdon, formerly of Evo Magazine and now of Drivetribe was not always a Porsche believer. In his words; "I was a motoring journalist for about two weeks, and had a healthy skepticism when it came to Porsche 911s."

During the Second World War the RAF reportedly buried a squadron of still-crated Supermarine Spitfires in Burma. These planes have never been found, and many consider them to be more myth than reality. Though numerous Spitfires exist, none remain in as-delivered condition.

When I was first coming of age as a "Car Guy" I loved the 996 GT3. To my eye it was the first 996 to look "right," and it was powered by that wonderful Mezger six. To a teenager, what could be cooler than a factory hot-rod 911? Since the early 2000s the GT3 has evolved dramatically, and has made itself a staple of performance car comparisons, and a …

Some Porsches are heady, brutal machines straight from the factory. Cars like the 911 GT2, or the 930 need to be taken by the scruff of the neck and shown who is boss. The Cayman, even track-focused variants like the GTS and GT4, tend to be much more benign. Thanks to their mid-engined layout and more modest powerplants the Cayman tends to be a …

If you asked me yesterday which Porsche was the brand's greatest Grand Touring car, I would have said "928 GT." In fact, I probably would have gotten more specific and said "928 GT in black with grey leather and dual zone AC." Today, however, the nature of grand touring has changed.
