1990 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Oakland, California, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : caroladuhl@juno.com .
1990 Porsche 911 (964) Carrera 2! It has been well cared for, drives like a dream and looks stunning in Guards Red over Tan leather.
In terms of appearance, the new car was more slippery, and finally got rid of the dated rubber accordions that had been used for 15 years! Porsche also spent extensive time in the aerodynamic testing labs, making a smoother underside that reduced lift, and a movable rear spoiler that extends above 50mph. Yet Porsche kept the classic shape of the 911, changing nothing of the roof, fender or door proportions that were perfect from the original 1964 911.
The interior, likewise, is very classic and recognizable as an "air-cooled" Porsche 911, but had the great addition of a far better Air Conditioning system.
Mechanically, the new engine was much new, but fundamentally still the legendary and race-proven Metzger-designed motor. The displacement and power were bumped significantly to 3.6L, and 247hp, from the previous 3.2L/217hp (USA cars). History has shown these engines are extremely durable for 200,000 miles or more, without internal rebuilding. It is also known to be very torquey, pushing you back in the seat with real authority.
The transmission is the continuation of the famed G50. The gear ratios for this car are perfect. Cruising on the street, going up and down steep hills in San Francisco, doing a road trip on the highway or hitting a favorite back road in 'spirited' fashion--it doesn't disappoint. Shifting also feels modern and not balky.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Porsche reveals first Macan driving and manufacturing footage
Fri, 13 Dec 2013One 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.
