Scalpel Vs. Sledgehammer: 911 RSR Battles Big Block Corvette at Road Atlanta

11/9/202011:13 estFiled to: Porsche 911 2.7, Vintage RacingBy: Tommy ParryComment

https://youtu.be/r7gtZaBv6mU If you put a former ALMS driver behind the wheel of a classic RSR on slicks, you should expect some cornering speed. Catesby Jones, a former ALMS driver with plenty of Porsche experience, accesses all the cornering speed you'd expect from a classic RSR to try and battle something with three times the grunt. There are …

Porsche 911 Carrera S Takes On C8 Corvette and Audi R8 at Hockenheim

10/23/20207:21 estFiled to: 992By: Tommy Parry1 Comment

The standout differences between the Corvette and the Carrera, likely the two most economically matched in this lineup, aren't all that standout—they take a little bit of closer inspection. The awkward body language Sport Auto test driver Christian Gebhardt shows in the Chevy, particularly under braking, which suggests there's something less than …

Porsche’s Heavyweight Panamera Turbo S Is The Perfect GT

10/19/20207:51 estFiled to: Porsche PanameraBy: Tommy ParryComment

Inside the latest Panamera Turbo S' cabin, one can't help but feel at ease. Rich chocolate leather abounds, there are more screens than a Pimp My Ride creation, the carpet is perfectly thick, and the cockpit has just the right amount of buttons and knobs to look detailed without looking fighter-planeish. Honestly, it looks like the most comfortable …

This LS3-Swapped 944 has the Right Formula

8/29/20204:09 estFiled to: Porsche 944By: Tommy Parry1 Comment

In another enthusiastic review from Roads Untraveled, we learn why pairing an American V8 with a German FR sports coupe is a wonderful idea. It blends what's wonderful about a Corvette with the great visibility, short overhangs, modest proportions, and exquisite interior of the 944. Surprisingly, these very different front-engine sports cars …

Porsche Releases the V8-Powered Cayenne GTS and Cayenne GTS Coupe

6/12/20205:32 estFiled to: Porsche CayenneBy: Tommy ParryComment

Few heavyweights belie their weight and size quite like the GTS offerings from Porsche, and 2021 brings us two new additions to that lineup. People who need to blend practicality, comfort, and performance are hard-pressed to find something with a better blend of attributes than this SUV, now offered in both liftback and coupe …

Is Buying a 996 Turbo a Wise Decision?

10/23/201810:24 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Porsche TurboBy: Tommy ParryComment

The fact that Tyler Hoover picked up another 996 after a painful foray into the range speaks to the value of the car. He first grabbed a first-generation 996 with a 3.4-liter M96, which promptly grenaded. He then swapped in a Chevrolet V8—an LS2, to be specific—for $17,000. What was once the cheapest 996 with a manual transmission was turning into …

How Much Does LS-Swapping a 911 Truly Cost?

6/8/20188:55 estFiled to: Porsche 996, Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy Parry7 Comments

For people tired of the M96 or want their 996 to outrun a few more cars in a straight line, the LS swap is appealing. While the swap is considered to be a cost-effective alternative for the hot rodder or the blasphemer, the custom work required to have an American V8 running smoothly in the back on a 911 can cause the conversion costs to …

This 964-based Carrera Rod Plays Hopscotch Between the Border of Awesome & Awful

5/17/201810:48 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Bradley Brownell2 Comments

Danton Arts Kustoms of France certainly wowed the crowds with their matte purple front-engine V8 hot rod with a chopped 964 body shell when it debuted in Monaco. It's hard to not see this car and immediately do a double take. It takes a very loose interpretation to call this thing a Porsche, because very little remains of the original 964 they used …

Firing up a Twin-Turbocharged GM V8 in a Classic 911

3/5/20182:13 estFiled to: Tuned PorschesBy: Tommy ParryComment

In the best sense of the word, this '78 911 is a mutt. Not only does it wear the skin of a 964, but it's been recently fitted with a 5.3-liter LM7 motor out of—shock and horror—a Cadillac. It's not the first American motor to be swapped into a Porsche, but it is one of the more extravagant. However, the current state of the car is …
