Where is Leh Keen when you need him? While it would have been wonderful to see him at the wheel of this 911, that is not where his services were most needed. For the first time in a "One Take" video that we can remember, Matt stumbled across the scene of an accident. The owner of the Chevrolet Malibu Matt Farah found in a ditch during the drive …

Matt Farah Experiences His First 356
I have a soft spot for the 356. I used to own one, albeit a rusty project car. In fact, this is my old car, which now lives in Saudi Arabia. The first one I ever drove was also a black T6 B, which had been upgraded with disc brakes from a C, and converted professionally from a Karmann Notchback to full Cabriolet(actually, this car, which has since …

Have you driven a 991.2 with Porsche's newly turbocharged engine yet? If you haven't, you really should stop on by your local dealer and try one on for size. You'll be amazed at how non-turbo like these new turbos are. Sure, I know, how could it every be as good as a normally aspirated engine? What about Turbo lag, won't it bother me? The truth …

I thought I was brave buying my 944S two hours from home and driving it back the same day. Sam, the owner of the 944 Turbo featured in the latest One Take, found his car on Craigslist in Madison, Wisconsin. He and his 7-months pregnant wife flew out to Madison and drove it home to Southern California. Sam deserves a pat on the back, but his wife …

The cold hard truth is that unless you belong to a group of friends with a hugely diverse number of cars, it's unlikely you'll ever get to drive as many different Porsches as Matt Farah. That's what I like so much about his "One Take" series. It's a chance for the rest of us to get some virtual seat time in almost every Porsche ever built, …

Ford and Porsche don't share much, if anything, in the engineering and design departments. However, what they do share is the iconic Gulf livery in the world of motorsport. The fact that this 2006 Porsche Cayman is wearing Gulf colors is no coincidence. Instead it hints at the connection its making between Ford and Porsche. Only this time, the …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl_g5grZ1DY Matt describes the GT3 as "about the limit of racecar for the street", because anything more hardcore is something you don't want to drive everyday, and to me that makes perfect sense. The GT3 is the sweet-spot of street-ability, and is legitimately a car that you can drive to the grocery store, or …

By now, if you've been reading FLATSIXES.com for a while, you're familiar with Leh Keen and you've most likely read about the Keen Project. Safari 911s are all the rage right now and the Porsches that Leh is producing through the Keen project are a big part of their resurgence. In the video below, Matt Farah talks with Leh about some of the same …

We recently met up with Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire at the US press launch of the new 718 Boxster and Cayman in Austin, Texas. While there, the conversation obviously gravitated toward the car we were both there to test drive. For the most part, we had very similar opinions of the car. It drives like a dream. It's faster, more comfortable, and …

It has been a very Porsche heavy week on the TST YouTube channel this week, so it only makes sense that we would bring the videos to you. The first is a Turbocharged Cayman from one of our favorite Porsche tuners, TPC Racing. The second is a TAG Motorsports tuned 991.1 Carrera 4GTS, which sounds like a riot to drive. Let's jump in. TPC Racing …
