 A very special 911 with a great history... She began life as a '72 T and had been in San Diego her for 35 years alone. Volker Bruckmann (VGCC Management, Santee (San Diego), CA), a racer and engine builder... and probably up there with any other Porsche engine builder, bought her in the early 80s and raced her in Baja (see photo). Volker, a native of Wolfsburg Germany, has always loved racing and found himself in 1970 in the Porsche pits at the Daytona 24 hour race. There he assisted the Porsche Salzburg team with their 917 Porsche. Volker's usefulness ensured his presence at Sebring, Watkins Glen, and through the 1971 US season in the newly formed Martini-Rossis Porsche Team under Udo Schutz and Hans-Dieter Dechent. He took part in the overall victory at Sebring in 1971. In November 1983, the first Porsche-powered win was executed by Mark Mcmillin in taking the overall four-wheel crown at the Baja 1000. Mark won three more Baja 1000 overall titles with Volker's Porsche off-road race engines. From 1982 through 1988, Volker's Porsche engines changed the face of the sport. At that time, he developed several successful Baja 1000 winning engines for the McMillin’s, Larry Ragland and Denny Letner. People said before that the Porsche 911 engine did not make enough low end torque to be useful in SCORE competition. Back to the ’72 RS Replica. Volker raced it at the 1989 La Carrera Classico from Ensenada to San Felipe, Baja, California. After a 200km all out run against Steve Saleen in his hot "Fastest in America" Mustang, this car beat Steve by some 15 seconds with Stefan Schleissing (GTS-Classics Seats) of Germany at the wheel placing 4th overall. Volker, won the Vintage class and finished 2nd overall that day.

She has never bent or hit, has all the good stuff in it and is RUST FREE. Camber bar, Bilstein front and rear struts, 917-930 (Turbo) calipers and rotors, drilled custom torsion bars, adjustable Weltmeister anti-sway bars and a huge front oil cooler. SSI stainless steel heater boxes with a Porsche Exhaust that makes the finest sound you can imagine. Her ride is firm but not brutal. The car responds like a go-cart with superb balance. The car has polished Fuchs wheels; 6” front with 195/60/15 and 7” rear with 215/60/15.The engine was  fully overhauled by Volker with new Mahle piston and cylinders, Glyco bearings, timing chains, Carillo rods, new guides/valves/springs. 2x46 triple barrel Weber carbs and Holly red fuel pump with gauge and PMO regulator provide the mixture to propel this little rocket. The case and heads are from an early 930 (aluminum IROC) and the heads have been ported and polished. The 3.3 liter engine is rated at approximately 300hp and max torque of 280. Also has a 25 gal fuel tank. Volker is a master and this engine is only one of three that he has built to these specs. To those that know this car, her name was "Grandma". The others sit in championship cars in private collections.
 
I purchased this car from an R Groupe Member and continued the restoration back to original period correct. No expense spared. Every part replaced has been with with real Porsche parts. New AC and a long list of replaced parts. Last showing at PCA Concourse event, car won best in class. I moved the car to Florida in 2005. Initially,  work was done by Butch Stokes in South Florida (very famous local Porsche tech). Seats are original rare Recaro re-done by Interiors International. These seats alone were over $6,000. All guages tuned by North Hollywood Speedometer. New headliner, carpets, New Period correct Radio. In 2010, car was taken over and maintained and worked on by PCA local President shop, Foreign Affairs, in Deerfield Beach. They proceeded to dig deeper and replace period correct Porsche parts to include oil lines on side of car, shroud, the entire front had been restored and replaced (see pic) and a list of others just to make this as true as an RS as possible.  A call to Bob V. will tell everything that no expense was spared. The entire car has been gone through. Tough to give up as this has been a passion of  love for the last 7 years. Car is now back in Southern California and gargaged/covered. At recent Sunday am auto shows, car has been a stopper and looker. Last picture is from PCA So Fla award event.  Most of its recent life has been at shows. A true RS at auctions are over $200k. This is a rare find for any car enthusiast.

The 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona: What we learned, what we saw

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Two days after the flag dropped on the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, people are still trying to figure out what it might portend for the rest of the season. In 24 hours, two minutes and 24 seconds, 695 laps were completed by the car that crossed the line first. During that time, 67 cars began the race, 18 of them retired. There was that accident, and a red flag. There were supposedly slower classes beating supposedly faster classes. There were 16 caution periods, including that yellow flag. And then there was The Decision. And Then The Uproar. And then The Reversal.
There was also some pretty good racing, so let's have one last look at the weekend. Oh, and there was that 1964 Ferrari 250 GTO Series II...
If you want to skip the reading bits and go to the photos, there's a high-res gallery of 158 images above and a couple more below. Enjoy.

Porsche offering new tire option for Carrera GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Let's face it: finding new tires for older cars can be challenging if tire manufacturers have stopped carrying the right sizes (this writer went through Hell to find a set of 205/60-13s). But what about tires for low-volume supercars, which use sizes that often won't fit on high-volume production vehicles? The Porsche Carrera GT isn't that old and tires are still available in the correct sizes, but the German automaker has shown its support of keeping them on the road by working with Michelin to give owners yet another tire option. Enter the Carrera GT-specific Pilot Super Sport.
It's common knowledge that tires are one of the most important pieces of the performance puzzle, and Porsche claims that the PSS tires, sized 265/35ZR-19 front and 335/30ZR-20 with Porsche's "N0" rating, will improve the Carrera GT's handling and stability all the way up to its claimed top speed of 205 miles per hour. That's important for a car with razor-sharp handling characteristics. They'll also net drivers a 10-percent increase in fuel economy on regular roads and up to 20 percent on racetracks, Porsche says.
The PSSs use cutting-edge tire technology to harness the Carrera GT's 610-horsepower. They have a dual-compound tread that's different from the inside of the tire to the outside, which, Porsche says, helps steering precision and increases maximum grip. Aramid fibers, which are lightweight but just as strong as steel, are used in the tire's belt to reduce unsprung weight.

Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer

An Iconic Sports Car, Restored to Seduce
I have been strapped behind the iconic Momo Prototipo steering wheel for a little more than an hour, all windows down as I carve my way up a rugged canyon during an unusually warm Southern California evening, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. My heart is pounding out of my chest, my breathing is heavy and my palms are sweaty because I am completely absorbed by this wondrous machine.
After waiting patiently for nearly four years, I am finally behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 911 restored, modified and tuned by Singer Vehicle Design. The vehicle that surrounds me never rolled off an automaker's assembly line in its current configuration, yet its physical appearance is timeless, build quality breathtaking and driving dynamics peerless.
