This is what happens when a seemingly sane man, comes up with a less then sensible idea! As you might guess, this guy is me.

Several months back, I was at a local cars show with my 1979 Porsche 930. As I was admiring it and looking at all the people taking pictures of it, something happened. The most amazingly beautiful red 87 Porsche with RS America body trim pulled up next to my car. I thought to my self, how could this car out shine my pristine Porsche 930? Moments later, I found myself in a wonderful conversation with the owner. It turns out he is a somewhat famous clothing manufacturer, and car collector. We had been talking for sometime when he mentioned that the Porsche might be for sale, if the price was right. He threw out a price that I thought was about $10,000 high, but it didn’t matter, I wasn’t going to buy it. As the day progressed and I walked around the car show, I thought once again to myself. I could buy the 87 Porsche (best year ever built), and take the motor and trans from the car, and put it in my Porsche 930...then do a back date kit to an RSR. Makes sense, RIGHT? The 1987 Porsche has the 3.2L motor, G50 transmission, better AC and suspension. I can’t believe how brilliant I am. I would build myself one of the “SINGER 911” for a fraction of the price, a lot less then $400,000. I was able to put a deal together with the owner later that day, and the mental preparation started. When I got the car, I drove it for a couple days to assess my purchase and the overall condition of the car. I found it to be a wonderful driver, with a couple small issues. The transmission shifted wonderful but the shifter was loose, and the engine had a minor oil leak. I brought the car over to Competition Porsche Specialists, and had Herb redo the front and rear shifter bushings, and fix the oil leaks. The car was at the shop for about 3 weeks being repaired. In that time a silly little thought came into my mind. “What the hell am I thinking!” I’m going to take 2 amazingly beautiful cars, and use them to make a car I hope to be half as nice as the ones I started with. The lights and bells in my head were going off saying, abort project, abort project. In a split second of clarity I was able to save 2 beautiful cars from the hands of a mad man. So now I have the car, and really no need for it, so I really should sell it.

The car is a 1987 Porsche 911 Targa, with an RS America body kit. I was told that all the parts are factory Porsche, including the rear tail. The 3.2L motor was rebuilt about 70k miles ago, and the trans was done more recently. The paint on the car looks factory, or maybe even better. There is only a couple of very small rock chips on the front of the car. The interior is in fantastic shape, and the seat have just been redone, The Targa top has also been redone. The car sits on some light weight Porsche ROH race wheels, and the tires are almost full rubber. The car has an upgraded alarm, stereo, power windows and locks, and the Air Conditioning is ICE Cold. The car runs and drives wonderful, and could be used as a show car or daily driver. I have set the reserve at a very reasonable amount to ensure the car sells. Please ask all questions before bidding.

I own a racing business, and I’m sometimes hard to get a hold of. I don’t check my email as often as I should, but if you email me I will get back to you.

Audi RS7 vs. Porsche Panamera Turbo, which would you pick? [w/poll]

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

We live in a blessed time - a time when you can buy not just one, but two (or three, or four) monstrously powerful, blazingly fast four-doors that can't only keep up with modern supercars, but in some instances, will outperform them as well. Two of the finest are the Audi RS7 and the refreshed Porsche Panamera Turbo, and Motor Trend has been messing around with the both of them in this comparison video.
MT provides a comprehensive and entertaining look at the RS7 and the turbocharged Panamera as they go through a battery of tests, before getting tossed about on both the road and the track. Starring flip-flop aficionado Jonny Lieberman, it's a must-watch, whether you're in the market for one of the two super sedans or merely want to see the former Autoblog editor again.
After having a look at the video, register a vote for the car you'd park in your driveway in our poll. Hop below for the full video from the team at Motor Trend.

Porsche reveals first Macan driving and manufacturing footage

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

One of the more anticipated offerings of the upcoming year, Porsche's sporty baby Cayenne, the 2015 Macan, has already earned nods of approval from a number of Autoblog staffers. We named it one of the top five debuts at last month's LA Auto Show, citing its 400-horsepower turbocharged engine and other sporty bits as good reasons to get excited about Stuttgart's latest.
And while our first test may be many months away, we're keeping our ears to the ground for any information on Porsche's compact crossover. We're especially keen on stuff like this - our first look at the new model in motion and undergoing assembly at its Leipzig plant. Both are shorter videos, and while there's little of the glorious engine noise we've already been teased with, the videos do offer a great look at the handsome Macan on the road, as well as glimpse at Porsche's state-of-the-art manufacturing operations.
Scope out the videos below and let us know what you think.

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
