Porsche 914 is quickly becoming a classic collector car . For many years it was overlooked and not really excepted as a true Porsche. Because of its cost when sold, it was also overlooked  
The price was so close to the 911 s selling at the same time , people just turned their head. And bought the 911 s . The 914 really had a hard time from the beginning. With all the trouble between the 2  companies building it.
Porsche design and VW assembly. And even cost involved with that . And them a middle man company, Karman Gia ....  Building all the chassis . It was just a very difficult collaboration from the beginning . 
 Now today . " the 914 " WOW !!!!
What a fun little car. I have been around them for over thirty years.  I have owned over 30 914 cars . This car is a true survivor, third owner car from northern California.  It has never been restored, it has been repainted and I re did the seats, door panels, some seals, doors R/L truck seals and a new windshield and seals . 
I also back dated the bumpers to 1972. I think this look is so much nicer.  I have the 1974 bumpers and they will be included in the sale of the car . 
You can see them in the pictures posted.  You see the car has a momo steering wheel . (IT IS NOT PART OF THE SALE) . I have the stock wheel . And have put it back in the car . 
Dash has a small crack that starts just in front of the drivers view over the dash . It goes down to the windshield . 
The car is still fuel injected, and shows 32.975 on the dash, I am sure the chassis has 132,975
  Car runs very well.  And can be considered a daily driver . 
No rust, all the normal places the 914 has problems are ok . Nothing under the battery tray.  And both left and right side longs are solid . 
Car just had a four wheel brake job  new rotors pads . 
And service 
Plugs , wires , cap rotor, air filter , oil , 
Timing and valve adjust . 
This is a solid car that will only go up in value over time . 
This is great example the the porsche 914 and the buyer will not have any remorse . 
I would love to keep this one, but I am involved in another 914 project, right now. 
So this car needs to find a great home . 
A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due 24 hours after auction ends and full payment is due in 72 hours. 
After auction ends . This is a as is sale . The title is clear and in sellers hand

Leno steals Porsche 918 from The Quail for latest Garage episode

Sat, 31 Aug 2013

Just because he's a famous celebrity doesn't mean Jay Leno got to take it easy at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance earlier this month. Having already spent some time with the gorgeous Cadillac Elmiraj Concept and Ed Welburn for a recent episode of Jay Leno's Garage, the late night talk show host also got to put a few miles on a prototype version of the Porsche 918 Spyder.
Like a usual episode of JLG, Leno first goes over the details of the car with Frank Walliser, head of the 918 Spyder's development, before taking it out for spin. Check out the full episode, which is posted below, to hear what Walliser has to say about the car. More importantly, though, crank up your computer's volume and let the car's high-revving engine and amazing exhaust note do plenty of talking for itself.

Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.

Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023

Thu, Nov 11 2021

SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.  The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.
