Just last week I asked the question Is Porsche the "Benchmark" for all other Supercars? Since then I've been inundated with emails from readers. Some agree, some don't and others wanted to know how I was defining a "Supercar". So for starters, let's define the term. According to Wikipedia - Supercar is a term generally used for a high-end …

Pre Purchase Inspection (PPI) for your Porsche (Part I of II)
