I attend our monthly Porsche club's dinner/meeting on a regular basis because I love Porsches and other Porsche owners. Lately, I've noticed a change in membership. Living in South Florida in the 90’s, Porsche meetings were much different than they are today. Most of the conversation revolved around our next planned track day and what …

Introducing the Emory Outlaw Tracker
No, it's not a Porsche. No, it's not even a car. Rod Emory's latest project is a collaboration with Vintage Electric; a bicycle company. As Rod puts it, Vintage Electric approaches bicycles the way he approaches Porsches. Both are Outlaws in their own way. Vintage Electric has collaborated with icons of the automotive industry before, in the form …

Preston Henn, perhaps best known as the colorful and eccentric entrepreneur who founded the Swap Shop Flea Market and Drive-in just outside of Ft. Lauderdale in southern Florida, passed away on Sunday at his home. He was 86 years of age. While not a household name in the world of Porsche, and his car collection certainly covered other …

The Cayenne is a capable platform for many different pursuits. Depending on the model in question, and your appetite for adventure, the Cayenne performs well off-road and on the track. What's even more surprising to some is the Cayenne's ability to haul or tow. Even the "lowly" V-6 model has a tow rating of 7700 lbs. That's more than sufficient …

Active aerodynamics are nothing new to Porsche. They started testing such technology at least as early as the 906 program and really moved things forward with the 908 (cars like the 908LH Flunder were a study in active aero). Fast forward to today and almost every Porsche sports car or sedan you can think of has some type of "active aero". …

We've driven pretty much all the Porsche Macan models by now. Heck, we even got to take a Macan GTS up Pikes Peak on a lead/follow expedition with Jeff Zwart. However, to-date, we have yet to drive the 2017 base model Macan. Introduced to the U.S. last year in New York, Porsches smallest, and least expensive, SUV comes equipped with a 2.0 …

During the Second World War the RAF reportedly buried a squadron of still-crated Supermarine Spitfires in Burma. These planes have never been found, and many consider them to be more myth than reality. Though numerous Spitfires exist, none remain in as-delivered condition. Finds like the lost squadron are exceedingly rare, and they're a unique …

Continue to the full articleOn Track Twice with the new GT3
When I was first coming of age as a "Car Guy" I loved the 996 GT3. To my eye it was the first 996 to look "right," and it was powered by that wonderful Mezger six. To a teenager, what could be cooler than a factory hot-rod 911? Since the early 2000s the GT3 has evolved dramatically, and has made itself a staple of performance car comparisons, and a …

Road Atlanta is a wonderful racetrack that takes you on a rollercoaster of a ride through the Georgia hills. Having said that, does the phrase “off camber, full throttle, downhill section of track” excite you or does it make you want to spectate?
