Comparing Two Generations of Porsche 911 GT3 RS on British Backroads

1/25/20213:58 estFiled to: Porsche 991, Porsche 997, Porsche GT2/GT3By: Tommy ParryComment

Not many have the option to own either and fewer the option to own both. Some do, and their appreciation of these cars deserves special attention when they go as far to order two successive generations of the same hardcore model in the same color. Both the 997 GT3 RS and the 991 GT3 RS are versatile enough to work well on the road, despite their …

Watch This 997 GT3 Cup make wet weather magic

1/17/20214:09 estFiled to: Porsche 997, Porsche GT2/GT3, Porsche MotorsportsBy: Tommy Parry1 Comment

Seeing the last of the last of the truly analog GT3s thrown around the Fito Hillclimb is a thing of beauty. With the talented Iván Ares at the wheel and a camera recording his expertise in slick conditions, we're given a masterclass in car control and another reason why mainstream rally ought to have more of this type around. No four-wheel …

This Martini-Liveried 997 GT2 “RSR” is a Feast for the Eyes and Ears

8/10/202011:58 estFiled to: Porsche 997, Porsche GT2/GT3, Porsche Race Cars, Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry1 Comment

It's a pity Porsche didn't continue using forced induction in their customer-oriented racing cars after the 993. True, turbochargers meant greater running costs, but the sheer grunt made the 993 GT2 racers quite special. Fortunately, some well-heeled racers feel the same way, and they've tried their level best to combine turbo power with modern …

RPM Technik Revitalizes the 997 for the Creative Soul Searching For a Softer GT3

5/7/202010:18 estFiled to: Porsche 997By: Tommy ParryComment

It's true that the GT3 RS, even the latest version of the car, is a bit much for most public roads. Being keyed in and very focused are wonderful when there's a dry racing track underneath you, but there's something to be said about a bit of give and cushioning when driving on a slick, uneven backroad. For those wanting something a little more …

Which is the Better First Porsche? 996.2 C4S Versus 997.2 C2

1/31/20205:00 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche 997By: Tommy Parry1 Comment

The unloved 996 or the refined 997? There are plenty of reasons to love both, and a few reasons to dislike them, too. In this very detailed review, we learn a little more about the characters of these two generations, and why the 996 might offer plenty of thrills if the prospective buyer can appreciate or look past the divisive looks. The …

Semi-Solid Engine Mounts Make A World Of Difference In This 997

10/1/201910:31 estFiled to: Porsche 997, VideosBy: Chris CushingComment

For me, the words "DIY" and "engine mounts" in the same sentence cause a lot of stress. Before coming into the Porsche world, I spent years immersed in modified VWs. Seeing those two phrases together recalls unhappy memories of VR6 owners yanking all the rubber out of their engine mounts and stacking hockey pucks in their place, raising the engine …

What do you think of this Hemi-powered 911 Custom?

4/29/20191:06 estFiled to: Porsche 997, Tuned PorschesBy: Chris Cushing3 Comments

Purity be damned, early water-cooled 911s and Caymans do lend themselves well to V8 swaps. In most cases the engine winds up right where Porsche intended, taking place of the flat-six. While this can require fiddling with the bulkhead in mid-engined cars, drivers do seem to welcome the update. A French custom shop, however, is taking a different …

Ben Collins—AKA The Stig—Remarks on the Porsche 911’s Appeal

6/29/201810:42 estFiled to: Porsche 997By: Tommy Parry1 Comment

Getting to drive for Top Gear has to have its perks. Not only is the pay good, but sharing the occasional drunken evening with Clarkson, May, and Hammond must be good for at least a few bawdy stories. As the Stig, Ben Collins also got to sample just about every desirable car under the sun. For that reason, his words counts for a lot—and that makes …

Enjoy and we'll have pictures and updates on the Boxster upon our return. My father, in the …

Like it. Want it. Can’t Have it!

9/2/200912:55 estFiled to: Porsche 997By: 993C4S1 Comment

Oh, how Porsche loves to tease us. Set to debut along side the new 911 Turbo, GT3 RS and Cup Race Car is the new 2010 Porsche 911 Sports Classic. The tease? You can’t buy one if you live in North America. However, for those lucky souls living in the ROW, for an entry fee starting at Euro 169,300, you can add one of these new 911s to your …
