Every year "Motor Trend" holds their "World's Greatest Drag Race". It's a who's who of supercars in a straight-line shoot-out. Not surprisingly, at least one Porsche is featured each year. However, in the 6 seasons "Motor Trend" has been producing this segment Porsche has only won once (back in 2014 a 911 Turbo S took home the win). That's not …

Why Early Porsches Provide Maximum Pleasure From a Minimalist Package
Kurt Gerhardt describes his 1969 Porsche 911 T as a "solid car". That might just be a bit of an understatement as he goes on to say, "No matter what it just keeps on running and you can beat it up a bit and you can haul-ass and it still does great and starts up every day."

Is the GT3 Touring Better Than a 911 R? Let’s See How They Compare.
In my eyes, Porsche has been on a roll lately just turning the dial on certain models just a bit. Does the Carrera S need to be turned to 11? Yes, of course, so we have the Carrera GTS.

Additionally, the car wears a set of KW coilovers quite similar to those used in the GT3 R, better brake …

Sometimes you don't realize how bad something is until it's fixed. You plod forward, never knowing how much better things could be with a reasonably simple change. Apparently, that is how I felt about my ECU. The ECU, I always felt had slightly sloppy fuel mapping compared to a modern car, but it was thirty years old and that was sort of …

Evo contributor and world-class driver, Richard Meaden, shows us just how to extract every iota of oomph from a tangerine orange 2.7 RS in this display of driving brilliance.
