"For those of you hoping to hear stories about racing, you will be disappointed. I am going to talk about gardening," is a rather inauspicious start to three quarters of an hour with one of the top drivers in history. To Ickx, however, it's a logical place to start. When he reached driving age at 16 his goal was to become a gardener or a …

Hunting Datsuns in a 1973 Porsche 911 RSR
In the words of driver Jim Bouzaglou, "It doesn't matter what kind of car it is, we all get the red mist." At VARA's 50 Years of 240Z event, Jim has a surprisingly wide variety of cars to run down. The pits are positively laden with Datsuns, from BRE cars to brightly-liveried privateers of all sorts. Despite the focus on Datsuns, the grid in Jim's …

Sometimes we have to play the hand we're dealt in life. This 1972 Porsche 911S Targa was destined from birth to head over to Japan and sit unused for decades. It's a sad existence, but if it had not been subjected to hardships, it wouldn't be living the life it has now. Alan Drayson of Canford Classics in the UK found this JDM 911S under a lean-to …

https://youtu.be/97HeaXDIj0s I will spare you the shouting, as James Pumphrey has almost 14 minutes of excitement coming your way. This video isn't solely about quirks and features, nor is it about turning the 959 to 11. James, like many of us, has never seen a 959 in real life before, and he is taking this one in as Porsche intended. As the …

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 …
Continue to the full articleThe Story of the 1957 Emory Outlaw Speedster
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 …
