Have you ever wondered about the difference between Horsepower and Torque? These two numbers are probably the most well known specifications in the automotive industry.

Porsche Spring Start up Steps
UPDATED ON APRIL 16, 2018 Will winter never end? While we avoided all of the "four easters" here in the North East (we were away in Florida for the season), many in our Porsche community weren't so lucky. In fact, just yesterday, on April 15th, it snowed. Our 911s sit in storage awaiting a bit of rain to wash the salt from to road and we can't …

Stranded at the side of the road is never a good feeling, especially when you're dealing with an unfamiliar and seemingly phantom electrical problem. I've driven my 1976 912E about 25,000 miles since I purchased it in August of 2016, and it's been absolutely faultless in all that time. It's a little finicky sometimes, but has never left me …

For years we've been hearing the cries of Porsche purists that various refitting firms, usually Singer Vehicle Design and Rauh-Welt, are going to dry up the world's supply of 964-generation 911s. Until recently, we never thought that either of them would reach more than ten or 15 cars per year, but both Singer and RWB have dramatically increased …

There are few sounds in automotivedom less pleasant than brake squeal. While increasing brake temperatures will typically alleviate squeal, keeping your Porsche's brakes at racetrack temperatures around town isn't practical. It's important to consider what is causing your Porsche's brakes to squeal, and determine whether the noise is caused by …

Patrick Long, the man Matt Farah dubbed "The World's Fastest Ginger," raced the 24 Hours of Daytona in Wright Motorsports' 911 GT3 R. In the real race, Long was joined by Christina Nielsen, Robert Jenauer and Porsche Junior driver Mathieu Jaminet. Here, he is alone in a simulator.

Contrary to what the laymen might think, there's so much more to going quickly than gusto, bravery, and a double-dosage of manhood. It's an unfortunate assumption made by too many, as reaching the edge of adhesion depends much more on finesse, an understanding of weight transfer, and—crucially—some mechanical sympathy. So much of this is due to …
