1969 Porsche 911E Widebody RSR Tribute. This car was constructed and painted as you see it in the mid 80's.
However, it still was built using the same formulae used to build these RS tribute cars today. Nothing has been
changed on this car or added to this car for the last 20 plus years. Steel Flares on all four corners, later model
higher HP engine, stronger 915 trans, modified front suspension, low stance, racing Webers, roll bar, harnesses,
all done the same as they are being built today. The early style whale-tail spoiler was used instead of the
ducktail to accommodate the A/C condenser.
Engine is a beefed up 1978 3.0SC engine with the 930 case, rebuilt about 30k ago and sporting a safety wired pair
of racing 46IDA Italian Webers that are worth about $4,000 by themselves. Vintage Ansa turbo exhaust gives it a
nice sound without being too loud. Trans is the upgraded stronger 915 5spd with a racing shifter and the front
suspension is from a 1974 911S that does away with the problematic original Boge suspension. Car sits very low
with a mean stance. Wheels are 18x8 and 18x10 HOLLOW Turbo Twists that are worth about $3,500 (check values
online). Tires are older and will need to be replaced but hold air and don’t go flat. I would recommend selling
off the Turbo Twists and going with something more period correct. The car is prepared with the half roll bar, a
200mph speedometer, vintage Pyrotech racing harnesses and late 70’s 911 sport seats.The car has been in storage for over 20 years. All that has been done was fresh fluids, cleaned out fuel system and
it started right up and idles smoothly and revs effortlessly without any noise, knocks, or ticks. There is a very
slight bit of smoke as soon as it starts after it has sat for a week or two but it clears up almost immediately to
zero. Car will need Webers cleaned and rebuilt and a tune up to pull all the power out of it as it still is
running 20 year old cap, points, rotor, plugs and wires. Tires are older and flat spotted from long term storage.
Will need front lower pan as the driver’s side torsion bar mount is weak and some typical floor pan repairs as it
still has its original floor pan. Despite looking great in the photos, the paint is over 30 years old. It is
presentable and carries with it a vintage patina, however, if you want a show car it will need paint. Car still
draws a crowd wherever it is taken and looks impressive in person.
I have the service file from the local performance shop that goes back decades from 40 years of continuous
ownership including the documented engine build 30k miles ago. Also has the Weber tuning manual. Car comes with
about $2,000 in spares and parts including a 1973 Date Coded “Big Tank” B.F. Goodrich space saver spare that
has never been used, an original Porsche tool roll, trim and lots of small new parts and rubber.

2014 Porsche Panamera 4S Executive

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

If the idea of a Porsche sedan (or, long hatchback) is still off-putting to you, then you might want to look away now. For 2014, the polarizing Panamera has received a midcycle refresh bringing slightly different styling, as well as adding two new models to the lineup, the S E-Hybrid and the stretched-wheelbase Executive. Having focused most of my recent trip to Germany on a First Drive of the intriguing plug-in Panamera, I also got to spend some time with the roomier Executive model.
Offered in both 4S and Turbo guise, the Panamera Executive has been stretched by almost six inches for the sole purpose of improving rear passenger space. Although it's hard to imagine anyone would willingly buy a Porsche and opt to sit in the back seat, I'd have to say that if I'm going to be chauffeured around in a car, why not make it a Porsche? For the most part, though, I'm guessing that many Panamera Executive sedans will be owned by people who want to one-up their buddy driving a stretched BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Driving Notes:

2015 Porsche Macan S

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

I'd be willing to bet that 99 percent of all Porsche Macan owners will never take their vehicle on a track or see any more off-roading than a dirt path to a summer cottage, yet I maintain that there is no better venue to explore the absolute outer limits of the automaker's newest small family transport than on a racing circuit and an off-road course. It's testing at each extreme of the vehicle's operating envelope, with both challenges requiring very different capabilities. With that in mind, and looking forward to dirty floor mats and corded tires, I jumped at the opportunity from Porsche to wring out its new Macan S at Willow Springs International Raceway, located in Southern California's high desert.
The range-topping Macan Turbo (base price $72,300 plus $995 destination), with its 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 gets most of the glory these days. But many, including myself, would argue that its slightly less powerful sibling, the Macan S, is actually the pick of the new litter. Despite having 60 fewer horses under the hood and giving up six-tenths of a second in the sprint to 60 miles per hour, it costs a massive $22,400 less - money better spent on equipment that improves the crossover's ride comfort and capability, or perhaps a well-used Boxster for weekends.
Despite a reasonably attractive starting price of $49,900 (plus destination), very few Porsche buyers will leave the showroom with a base model. My Dark Blue Metallic Macan S tester was equipped with a slew of mechanical upgrades, including air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), Sport Chrono Package and 21-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels. A Premium Package and a few other miscellaneous options bloated its price to $69,870. That's a very steep price for the premium compact crossover segment, but it's still less than a base Macan Turbo.

Kia leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2022

Thu, Feb 10 2022

For the first year ever, Kia leads J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study with a score of 145 problems per 100 vehicles. Buick (147) and Hyundai (148) round out the top three. The highest premium brand on the list is Genesis, with a score of 148. It's common for so-called "mass market" brands to lead this particular study, according to J.D. Power, as "premium" brands "typically incorporate more technology in their vehicles, which increases the likelihood for problems to occur" and aren't necessarily built to a higher standard that less-expensive brands. The highest-rated single nameplate is the Porsche 911. It's the third time out of the past four years and the second year in a row that Porsche's quintessential sports car has taken top honors. Porsche as a brand sits in seventh place (162) just behind Lexus (159) and ahead of Dodge (166). At the very bottom of the list is Land Rover with a dismal score of 284; the SUV specialist held the same unfortunate distinction on last year's list. Ram (266), Volvo (256), Alfa Romeo (245) and Acura (244) also performed poorly. The overall industry average score sits at 192 — mass market brands average a score of 190 while premium brands sit 14 points lower at 204. While Tesla is unofficially included in some of J.D. Power's results, the agency says the sample size it has access to for this study is too small to include. As has been the case for the past several years, infotainment systems dominate the list of problems reported by owners. Popular (or unpopular, depending on your point of view) complaints include built-in voice recognition (8.3 PP100), Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity (5.4 PP100), built-in Bluetooth system (4.5 PP100), not enough power plugs/USB ports (4.2 PP100), navigation systems difficult to understand/use (3.7 PP100), touchscreen/display screen (3.6 PP100), and navigation system inaccurate/outdated map (3.6 PP100). While problems with the car's infotainment and technology packages are indeed bothersome, it's important to remember that such issues aren't usually leaving owners stranded with an immovable vehicle like a broken transmission or blown engine would. Culling infotainment complaints from the results would reduce the average problem-per-100-vehicle score by a staggering 51.9 points. The vehicles included in this study are from the 2019 model year. That means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's the 33rd year that J.D.
