https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0McJBBUiKMk With the air quite thin at the top of Pikes Peak (14,114' above sea level), forced induction is required to keep a competitive pace.

Anyone familiar with Adam Carolla and his CarCast program know the admiration he has for Paul Newman. A lifelong car enthusiast, Carolla wrote a rather large check last year—for a reported $4.8M—to purchase a very special 935.

When you hand the keys of a narrow-tired 911 T/R to seasoned veteran like Patrick Long, you can expect fireworks. Clearly, Long is focused on wringing the classic Porsche's neck and not terribly concerned with its value, but when you've driven the variety of machinery he has, at the level he has, you can't expect him to participate in a …
