Over the past few months I’ve been getting to know the guys at Porsche Cars North America. We don’t talk often, but when we do it’s a friendly and open conversation. I’m forward about my desire to drive a Porsche from their media fleet and their candid about the likelihood of that happening. :-) So, you can imagine my surprise when the doorbell …

The Rarest Porsche you Never Heard Of!
I like to consider myself a Porschefile. What’s that you ask? I define it as someone who is knowledgeable about the brand with a good handle on the cars offered, the company history and most things Porsche related. I know I’m not a Porsche expert, not yet anyway (not compared to guys like Pete Zimmerman, Bruce Anderson and Sam Cabiglio.) Even …

When Ferdinand Porsche first said “I couldn’t find the sports car of my dreams so I built it myself, he couldn’t possibly have known how well that statement would stand the test of time. Today, more than 60 years later, I find myself more and more entrenched in the world of Porsche motorsports each and every day. I’m fascinated with the history …

When was the last time you were truly blown away by something? What was the last thing you viewed where the quality and craftsmanship were so superbly rendered that you were actually left speechless? It doesn't happen to me often, but when it does, it's a great feeling and usually I want to tell everyone as loud and often as possible. Not so in …

We've been a bit lax with our eBay finds of the month lately, but that's only because we don't want to bore you with just any old car or Porsche related item. It takes something special to make our list! Take this month's example for instance. What's with the decal on the front fender? Is it a Porsche? Is it a tuned version by Strosek? Or, …

Art can mean so many things to so many people (remember this Porsche based artwork?). It’s probably one of the most subjective topics there is and one of the hardest to define. While we here at 993C4S are not always able to define what art is, we definitely know it when we see it (borrowing liberally from Justice Potter Stewart)! Recently, …

In light of all the recent press regarding the Porsche vs. Nissan Rivalry, we wanted to broach an old, but still relevant subject. It seems that every time a manufacturer releases a new or updated hi-end sports car, it is compared to Porsche (heck even Hyundai is comparing itself to Porsche now.) In the past, these type of comparisons were …

Prior to the GT-R bursting onto the scene, Nissan and Porsche were not competitors. They serve(d) two completely different market segments. They have little to no history as competitors in motorsports and until the introduction of the Nissan GT-R to the US, they were not really thought of as a sports car company (and no, I’m not forgetting about …

Just when the fire(s) started by the Nissan GT-R vs. (insert most any Porsche model here) had started to burn themselves out, Porsche goes and throws fuel on the flame war by calling into question Nissan's publicly announced lap times at the Nurburgring.
