1969 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Garfield, Washington, United States
Please contact me at : linn_langevin@zoho.com .
This Porsche American Roadster Tribute car is based on a 1969 911T chassis that was taken down to bare metal 2500
miles ago in this transformation / total restoration. Motor is a Porsche 3.3 liter turbo motor, rebuilt 2500 miles
ago with Turbo Kraft performance touches and tuning producing 540 horsepower on pump gas and 570 horsepower on race
gas. The motor is mated to a fresh clutch and Carrera geared G-50 5 speed transmission. The engine is very
drivable in town and traffic off boost and the performance is incredible when you put your foot into it. All
suspension A arms and trailing arms were removed and refinished. The suspension is tied together with a full
suspension redo from Elephant Racing. The car handles beyond words and goes down the freeway smooth and stable.
The body includes C2 inspired fiberglass fenders with 13" flares in the rear. Fiberglass front hood with center
fill tank and integrated rear deck lid with 3.8 rear spoiler. Power is put to the ground via custom Forgeline
wheels and BF Goodrich "meats". A professionally completed halo roll bar secures the 5 point safety harnesses.
ROT tec custom racing seats. Leather, cross stitched, heated with carbon fiber shells. Beautiful Porsche Mexico
blue paint job with a 993 style convertible top and RS America door panels and carpet. I purchased the car from
the creator last Fall and regrettably am moving in a different direction with a project and am offering for sale.

Take a POV hot lap in the Porsche 918 Spyder
Mon, 14 Apr 2014That title about says it all. This is a hot lap of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX, with Porsche Works Driver Patrick Long at the wheel of a Porsche 918 Spyder. The camera is basically showing us everything that Long sees, making this not just one of the coolest 918 videos we've seen, but also one of the neatest laps of CoTA.
As Long peers through the bends, so will you. You'll see him fight the wheel, and find out just how difficult it is to hustle this hybrid hypercar around a world-class track at speed. It's pretty darn entertaining. There are also a few scattered shots of the 918's exterior just to break up the interior awesomeness, although we aren't exactly complaining about those. Take a look below for the short video from Porsche.

Le Mans-winning Porsche 935 K3 'seized' by DEA agents
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Porsche has won Le Mans more than any other marque, but only one of those overall race winners was actually based on a 911. That was the 1979 Porsche 935 K3, chassis number 009 00015 that was entered by brothers Don and Bill Whittington. It went on to win at the Nürburgring and Watkins Glen, and scored podium finishes at Sebring and Brands Hatch as well. In short, it's a historically significant and hugely valuable piece of motorsport history. And it was just seized by the DEA. Sorta.
After the Whittington brothers ran afoul of a handful of lawsuits and were implicated in smuggling narcotics, the car changed hands a few times before ending up in the noted collection of one Bruce Meyers. He had it at Laguna Seca earlier this month when a black Suburban, Dodge Charger and transporter truck pulled up with government plates, asked to speak with Meyer, presented him with a court order, loaded the car onto the truck and drove off.
Though familiar with the legal disputes surrounding the ownership of the car and the misdeeds of its famous original owners, Meyer was left understandably distraught over the events that had just unfolded in front of him to separate him from his pride and joy. (Or one of them, anyway; Bruce has got an eminently desirable collection of classic cars.) But here's the kicker: those DEA agents weren't actual DEA agents. Fortunately they weren't thieves, either. The actual story could have been the plot right out of Ocean's 14 if they ever made one and it focused on classic cars. (Is anyone in Hollywood listening?)
