It's bizarre to hear someone refer to the 997 GT3 as a representative of the "analog era" of supercars. Though it didn't seem so at the time, by modern standards the GT3 is decidedly uncomplicated. Though it comes from the era of alphabet soup, its combination of traction control, PASM active suspension, and even Sports Chrono makes for more of a …

Continue to the full articleIs the 928 GT the Classic Porsche to Own?
The 928 has never had the sporting credentials of the 911, but is the penultimate variant one of the best classic Porsches to own? Over nearly two decades in production the 928's output increased from 219 horsepower to 345, and displacement from 4.5 to 5.4 liters. Changes to the model were more than simply adding power. Porsche's traditional method …

The guys at Donut Media are nothing if not excited. A car doesn't make anything so pedestrian as horsepower, they make HRSPRS. If those HRSPRS are especially stacked(preferably due to a steady diet of love and oats), they become #BUFFHORSES. 1987 isn't just a year, it's 8 years BPM (Before Post Malone). Anything worth saying is worth yelling. …

Despite our name, Flatsixes loves transaxle Porsches. Between Bradley and myself, we currently own four 944s and 924s. Project 944 GTS, (which will have an update soon, by the way) is among my favorite cars I've ever owned. Barring often extremely cheap early Boxsters, it's hard to beat the 944's smile per dollar ratio. That said, the newest 944s …

Porsche's GT range, at least as we understand it today, began with the 993 GT2. That rear-wheel drive, 444 horsepower, aggressively flared monster was the first use of the GT moniker on a modern Porsche. However, the car that came to define the GT line, the GT3, has much more in common with this car; the Carrera RS. Though it does not share the GT …

About two years ago I had the pleasure of sitting down for dinner with Rod Emory. Over the mutli-course meal provided by our friends at Michelin, I had the opportunity to listen at length to a bona-fide Porsche legend. Rod turned out to be soft-spoken and unfailingly modest. His calm manner seemingly only built in furor when discussing clever …

Porsche's glorious flat six engine is known for its sonorous high-RPM note, and when the engine is unmuffled, it only sounds better, but is also much louder. Often times, at big racing events, the Porsche competitors are driving the loudest cars on track. There are some Porsche engines that are even louder than that, however, as the 928's V8 can …
