75 914 Beach Boys Wide Body Roadster on 2040-cars
Richmond, Virginia, United States
Im selling a 1975 Porsche wide body roadster that i have been building for the passed few years. The body kit i bealive is called the beach boys kit was on the car when i got it. The car dose not have a roof it has been cut off to make the kit work but i did have a welder reinforce the area of the car in place of the roof support . The 1.7L engine runs good, i ran the numbers on the block but im not sure if im 100% correct on the size. The trans shift good and it has a full after market race exhaust system with a Weber 32/36 carburetor. The front breaks have been up graded to 911 and the back have been drilled to fit the 911 15x7 wheels, the tire are track tires 215/50/15 in the back and 205/50/15 in the front . The intor door panels are new , the seats are in fair condition, and the dash has cracks, i have a new carpet kit for it but i didn't instal it that comes with the car. The paint is spray painted on, i was not sure if some one wanted to repaint it or do more body work to make it look perfect so i did not worry about that too much and the kit is bolted on to the body. The headlight and tail light are working and wired up and mounted. The engine cover and trunk are held on by hood pins but the support brackets have been done correctly by my welder. This is a kit car so by no means it not perfect but it would be a cool looking car to drive around for fun or take to the track .

Ferrari 458 Speciale vs Porsche 911 GT3 shows what Chris Harris does best
Thu, Nov 27 2014After a brief trip behind a pay wall, British auto journalist Chris Harris is back posting videos for free online, and shorts like this one are the perfect example of why his return is so welcome. Showing up at the damp Anglesey Circuit on the Welsh coast with the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3, Harris ostensibly aims to find the better model. However, the final result really succeeds in showcasing the fun to be had behind the wheels of both supercars, particularly when initiating huge slides around the track. As Harris presents it, the vehicles get through the circuit in somewhat different ways The Ferrari is brash and "feels alive," as he puts it as it screams around the track. Alternatively, the Porsche is a bit more restrained, while still being able to show some emotion. In the end, it comes down to trying to get a controlled lap around Anglesey from this duo, but it's pretty clear that the times don't tell the whole story. If you're in the mood to watch two of the world's premiere supercars wag their tails in the wet, then this video cannot be missed.

Porsche Cayman S and Caterham 7 go head to head on the drag strip
Fri, 27 Jun 2014We recently saw the standard Porsche Cayman go up against a Subaru WRX STI in a one-mile drag race with surprising results. Apparently, Evo had a similar idea of evaluating the Cayman's quickness. However, it opted for the more powerful S model and chose a flyweight Caterham Roadsport 140 as the challenger. Will the results of this battle be as close at the end of the kilometer-long (0.62-mile) drag?
Neither of these are cars you'd usually associate with drag racing, but they are nearly evenly matched. Evo selected them based on power-to-weight ratio, with the Caterham offering a scant 140 horsepower in a lithe 1,213-pound package. The Porsche is a quite svelte 2,910 pounds but has 325 hp to haul it around.
Of course, power-to-weight ratio isn't everything. There are a ton of other variables like aerodynamics and gearing that play a huge role, as well. Can the little Caterham's weight advantage overcome the better aero and additional power of the Porsche? Scroll down watch the video and find out.
