Here is a 1962 T6 cabriolet with hardtop restored over 5 years by a longtime professional bodyman for his own personal car.  The car had been in storage for nearly 20 years when he acquired the car which was in need of restoration due to a rusty floor pan, all original panels being intact with little body damage (small dents, no major accidents).  He meticulously disassembled the car down to the bare chassis removing all rust and  properly installed new floor, longitudinals, closing panels, and complete battery box. Any area disturbed in the process he sealed to prevent any rust and leaded in any closing area affected. Carefully prepared and painted over a two-year period during which he tracked down a complete set of disc brakes which he then rebuilt and installed to avoid using the stock B brakes.  In order to provide a stronger and more reliable drivetrain, he also installed a 912 engine using C spec Zenith Carbs adding the optional electric tachometer. As his own personal car, he saw that he would never drive it in inclement weather and decided to omit the heating system - no J boxes, headers only with stock exhaust.  The interior he put back stock with charcoal squareweave german carpets with black leather seats, new headliner in the hardtop.  This car has only a hardtop without a soft-top. For easier starting and better lighting he also installed an 8 volt battery and had the regulator adjusted to provide the greater output and reliability.  This car was built to be driven on a regular basis with performance and reliability.  The restoration was completed 5 years ago and has less than 500 miles.

Modded budget Mazda Miata takes on new Porsche Boxster in more challenges

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Earlier this month, our friends across the pond at Auto Express released the first in a two-video series that would see them try and build up a second-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata that could best a standard Porsche Boxster around the track. While that first video detailed the mods to the MX-5 - a supercharger, some suspension upgrades and a new set of super-sticky rubber being chief among them - and set baseline lap times for the stock car, today, we have the results of the 5,000-pound ($8,200) upgrade job.
Of course, we aren't going to spoil those for you. You'll need to watch the full video, which recaps the upgrades before digging into a comparison of both straight-line-speed differences between the 2.7-liter Porsche Boxster and blown Miata, as well as their behavior and lap times on the track.
Take a look and let us know what you think in Comments.

Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.

Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars

Sat, 18 Oct 2014

Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
