Everything You Need To Know About Porsche’s 991.2 GT3
Porsche's GT3 is perhaps the most interesting car they make today, as it's a very driver-focused experience and it's available with a stick shift. Some folks are saying that the new 500 horsepower GT3 is basically a less expensive and less rare 911R, and while that's not expressly true, it may as well be. Is it a road car that is comfortable on the …

For a long time, the 996 was ridiculed, and now that I'm more familiar with these cars, I'm struggling to see why that was ever the case. There are the fried-egg headlights, sure, and the potential for IMS/RMS issues with the M96 motor has some prospective buyers gritting their teeth. However, there's still a dynamic, sure-footed, and exhilarating …

If ever you feel the urge to show your tech-addled friends why the racing of yesteryear was better, these videos are very persuasive tools. In the days before big downforce in Porsche Supercup racing, these lightweight 964 Cups forced a driver to slide, dice, cut chunks off the circuit, and hop curbs to find whatever advantage they could.

There's an idea that many trackday junkies hold dear, and that is that the GT3 is the best of the few cars that can truly excel on the track and still work well when driven to the supermarket.

The new GT3 RS has been prematurely shown off to the internet via Australia's DRIVE website (it's since been pulled).

At Rennsport V, a collection of mouth-watering classics set out to run for stands full of fans. Some drivers take the whole affair casually; parading and showing off their wares, while others—unable to divorce themselves from their competitive instincts—take it much more seriously.

It's hard to fathom that what for a long time was considered the "redheaded stepchild" of the 911 family can casually dice with the latest and greatest thoroughbreds in the Porsche stable. A 991 GT3 ought to easily show an aging, 3.4-liter 996 its heels, but Guillaume Artufel's 996 remains in contention with cars costing ten times as much at the …

Contrary to what the laymen might think, there's so much more to going quickly than gusto, bravery, and a double-dosage of manhood. It's an unfortunate assumption made by too many, as reaching the edge of adhesion depends much more on finesse, an understanding of weight transfer, and—crucially—some mechanical sympathy.
