A few months back I posted an article titled “I’m not a Porsche Expert but I Play one on the Internet.” The basic gist of this post (click on the title of the article if you want to refresh your memory) was for people to submit Porsche related questions to me.

Porsche GT2 Compared to a Corvette Z06

Have you ever wanted to know how a fast an F1 car is? Or, better yet, how a stock 911 would do in a race with an F1 car. This video, while quite old, is still very amusing and entertaining.

In a post last month we asked the question is Porsche the “Benchmark” for all Other Supercars? That particular post showcased a video of the GT-R facing off against a 997 Turbo and referenced a prior entry regarding a road test of the new Nissan GT-R vs. a Porsche 997 Turbo and the resulting debate about which car is better/faster. There was …

Just last week I asked the question Is Porsche the "Benchmark" for all other Supercars? Since then I've been inundated with emails from readers. Some agree, some don't and others wanted to know how I was defining a "Supercar". So for starters, let's define the term. According to Wikipedia - Supercar is a term generally used for a high-end …

Since then, there has been an interesting thread on Rennlist debating a video of Nissan GT-R vs. a Porsche 997 Twin Turbo. At the heart of the debate is the question "was the video …
