Comparing Two Generations of Porsche 911 GT3 RS on British Backroads

1/25/20213:58 estFiled to: Porsche 991, Porsche 997, Porsche GT2/GT3By: Tommy ParryComment

Not many have the option to own either and fewer the option to own both. Some do, and their appreciation of these cars deserves special attention when they go as far as ordering two successive generations of the same hardcore model in the same color. Both the 997 GT3 RS and the 991 GT3 RS are versatile enough to work well on the road, despite …

EVOMAX’s Oddball Porsche 911 Street Machine Hides A Race Car Heart

1/22/20211:55 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy ParryComment

Its looks are divisive. Its sound and manners are too. Any car sporting a 997 Cup motor, regardless of what little insulation this oddity has, must be a little on the grating side of things. "Designed to merge technology from Cup racing with everyday life" is how the MAX 11 is introduced in this elferspot listing. Somehow, you wonder how well that …

Learn the History of Porsche’s GT Range With These Legends

11/28/20204:52 estFiled to: Porsche Factoids, Porsche GT2/GT3By: Tommy ParryComment

Building upon Henry Catchpole's recent trip to this dream garage, Mr. Chris Harris, a man with an unrivaled fondness for the GT range of Porsche products, takes us on a detailed tour of all the hottest 911s Porsche has released over the last two decades. As Harris acknowledges early in this clip, discussing the subtle improvements along the …

Five RUF Models You Probably Haven’t Heard Of

9/2/202010:42 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry2 Comments

Known for blending outrageously powerful motors with understated exteriors, RUF Automobile GmbH has made quite a name for itself. But beyond the tire-smoking Yellowbirds, there are a few vehicles which, while possibly not headline material in themselves, help constitute an interesting, varied stable from a company capable of producing more than …

This Martini-Liveried 997 GT2 “RSR” is a Feast for the Eyes and Ears

8/10/202011:58 estFiled to: Porsche 997, Porsche GT2/GT3, Porsche Race Cars, Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry1 Comment

It's a pity Porsche didn't continue using forced induction in their customer-oriented racing cars after the 993. True, turbochargers meant greater running costs, but the sheer grunt made the 993 GT2 racers quite special. Fortunately, some well-heeled racers feel the same way, and they've tried their level best to combine turbo power with modern …

997 Versus 991: Which is the Better GT2 RS?

6/24/202010:18 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Tommy Parry1 Comment

Similar on the Surface Either of the last two iterations of the GT2 RS could be described as a bit too powerful for the technical MSR Houston, but a reasonably tight track still helps convey the characters of these two cars. Long straights and high-speed corners are where the GT2 is arguably at its best, though it has to be said that few cars—even …

Which is the Better First Porsche? 996.2 C4S Versus 997.2 C2

1/31/20205:00 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche 997By: Tommy Parry1 Comment

The unloved 996 or the refined 997? There are plenty of reasons to love both, and a few reasons to dislike them, too. In this very detailed review, we learn a little more about the characters of these two generations, and why the 996 might offer plenty of thrills if the prospective buyer can appreciate or look past the divisive looks. The …

Diving Deep into Analog Machines with One Man’s Cherished 997.1 GT3 RS

10/15/20195:35 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3, UncategorizedBy: Tommy ParryComment

Some owners develop bonds with their cars so close that they make certain parent-child relationships cold and distant. Perhaps the involved relationship one must have when owning and modifying a car over the course of a decade, one might get closer to their car than they can with kin. Plus, a Porsche 997.1 GT3 RS doesn't make rude comments at …

Semi-Solid Engine Mounts Make A World Of Difference In This 997

10/1/201910:31 estFiled to: Porsche 997, VideosBy: Chris CushingComment

For me, the words "DIY" and "engine mounts" in the same sentence cause a lot of stress. Before coming into the Porsche world, I spent years immersed in modified VWs. Seeing those two phrases together recalls unhappy memories of VR6 owners yanking all the rubber out of their engine mounts and stacking hockey pucks in their place, raising the engine …

America Runs On Porsche 911 GT3 Donuts

9/25/201910:01 estFiled to: Porsche GT2/GT3By: Tommy ParryComment

The Hoonigans might not be well known among our readers, but they are one of the biggest automotive YouTube channels around. Their audience is in the millions, and their videos are geared towards the tinkering type of gearheads who dream about high-quality AN fittings and elevate automotive customization to the level of fetish. This naturally …
