1971 Porsche 911E/959 Reproduction Unique lines, and raw power are the two main ingredients that make up the Porsche 959. It was the modern day Super Car of the 1980's, and to this day is still sought after by some, and dreamt of by many Porsche fanatics the world over. However, with an average price of well over a million dollars, The Porsche 959 has simply become unattainable...until now. Move over Mr. Gates, you're not the only one on the block with one of these beauties! Unlike most reproduction vehicles, this 959 captures every element of the original. No expense was spared when it came time to build this one of a kind masterpiece. The Body This reproduction was not built on some one off, or piece together frame like most others. The builder searched for the perfect canvas to build is dream on. He found that in a very solid southern California 1971 Porsche 911E. The body being one of only 1087 pieces ever built. From there the kit was purchased ($12,000) and work officially started. This would be where the real work would begin. The builder wrapped up tens of thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours of body work to have the kit fitted and prepped for paint. Being a fanatic himself, the builder chose one of the foremost favorite colors amongst Porsche enthusiasts, Guards Red. This really made it quite the head turner! The Power-plant By far the area of expertise for this build. Most reproductions keep the standard motor that would have been present at the time of the build, but not this time. When it came time to choose the right power-plant for this build, the team knew just the right piece of Porsche engineering to propel this monster down the road. An unmolested 1975 Porsche Carerra Twin-Plug race motor with 40mm Triple Weber Carbs was just the right fit. Being one of only 1782 motors ever built this little flat six is worth over $15,000 on today’s market. (Motor #6551214) The engine just went under a rigorous fresh tune up, which included all new plugs, fully rebuilt carburetors, fresh fluids, and some timing adjustments. The sound of this engine has the ability to bring shivers down your spine. This is due to the long tube headers, and sport style exhaust. You will not find another sound as unique as this fire breathing monster! The transmission is the standard dog leg style trans that would have been original to the 1971 911E. Being that it is a 911/01 style trans. (Trans #7111264) All new shifter bushings were done, and the trans was gone through and checked out immaculately. The power from that vicious motor is transplanted to the ground through some pretty serious rubber. By using modern day Three-Piece Turbo Twist wheels wrapped in Pirelli Pzero rubber. Front (235/40-18) Rear (285/40-18) This rocket has no problem getting the power to the ground to propel this 959 down the road at break neck speeds! The Interior This area of the vehicle was done very tastefully, and represents that 1980's era perfectly with a modern twist! The inside of this 959 is white leather not matter where you're looking. The dash, door panels, all four seats, headliner, rear panels, steering wheel, shift knob, and even the emergency brake boot are all wrapped exceptionally. With the modern style white faced gauges and carbon fiber dash applique. This interior just screams style! Many of the interior features have been upgraded to their modern day counter parts. The 959 has power windows on both doors, and power seats for both driver and passenger. There are even those 70's style rear pop out windows for some extra breeze! The Perfect Package Many Porsche fanatics grew up staring at only a poster or picture of this piece of Porsche design brilliance, dreaming of the day they would own one. Well today is your chance! With over $50,000 invested in this project, you could not come close to ever building one for the this price!

Porsche 911 GT3 RS revealed in patent photos
Fri, 01 Aug 2014Porsche has been taking its time developing the most hardcore 911 models for the latest 991 chassis. While the GT3 has been on the market for a little while, it suffered from some teething issues. The 911 GT3 RS is certainly on the radar since being spotted testing, but it's always better to get a look at a new car without all of the camo to hide the coolest parts. Thankfully, Car in the UK has some patent photos of the RS ahead of its debut, and they show off one mean-looking 911.
The first thing that you notice about the RS is that Porsche clearly isn't afraid to rework the latest 911's shape for its track-focused version. Each piece is slightly resculpted to squeeze the most out of it. Up front, the air dam has the same shape to the earlier photos. They also both highlight the upcoming model's tiny air inlet at the tip of the hood, the massive intakes in the rear fenders and general design of the rear wing with a ducktail underneath. The bubbled roof is much clearer here, where it was disguised in spy shots. You can also spot the slashing fender gills behind the front wheels that are a completely new feature.
The GT3 RS is the ultimate naturally aspirated 911 for the street, but according to Car, Porsche aims to take that even farther with the latest model. If these are the looks, then it's working. Unfortunately, the new version's powerplant remains a mystery. Though, given all the changes to the bodywork, the engine is almost surely getting tweaked over the 475-horsepower GT3. The RS is rumored to hit the road and be screaming down the track in 2015.
Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
