The Von Pair-Matched
Advantage: Regardless of brand,
identically configured shocks can generate widely varying damping
forces. All shocks are built with
manufacturing tolerances that make damping forces deviate from the design
target. Despite using good designs
and precision components, the best commercial shock manufactures accept
finished product tolerances that are typically +/-15%. That means that by luck of
the draw two new, "identical", tested-good shocks picked
from the shelf could vary in damping forces by up to 30%.
Cheap shocks can be much worse! Imagine the quirky, uneven
handling caused by left and right shocks that vary by
30%. This can cause an uneasy feeling of not being planted, a hard
to quantify sensation that the car just isn't "right" despite
seemingly having all the best parts and setup. The car doesn't
inspire driver confidence, and it doesn't go fast. Worse yet is the difficulty
of diagnosing these types of problems. Without access to a
computershock dyno, the suspension tuner is left groping in the
dark. Any serious suspension tuner
absolutely must have a computer shock dyno plot for
all shocks. This simply cannot be
over-emphasized. It doesn't matter if
your shocks are brand new, or freshly custom valved, or come from the
most reputable manufacturer, or the best-known shop - you MUST have a
computer shock dyno plots for your actual shocks (not a
sample from a similarly configured shock). Without the dyno plot,
you simply have no idea of what your shocks are doing, what
irregularities they may contain or conceal. Testing - Every
single Von shock is tested on our
computer shock dyno. The dyno plot is delivered along
with the shock. We keep the dyno plot in our database to
support you going forward. This dyno plot is used as a
baseline of comparison should we ever test your shocks to analyze
wear, damage, or help you diagnose handling quirks. The dyno plot
also let's us Pair-Match your shocks. Pair-Matched - Von shocks are
built in batches, and every single shock is tested on our
computershock dyno. Using the batch's dyno plots, we hand select
pairs that have similar performance curves. The shocks are then
delivered as matched pairs. Pair-matching
allows Von shocks to deliver performance consistency that is
unrivaled. You are assured that your shocks are tested-good and
will function as a pair to deliver matching damping
performance.

2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS prowls into Geneva with biggest NA engine in the 911 range [w/video]
Tue, Mar 3 2015We've been waiting for the debut of this road-going and race-ready Porsche 911 GT3 RS for quite some time now. As is typical for high-profile sports machines, the new 911 has been foreshadowed with spy shots and information leaks aplenty, all pointing to this grand day at Geneva. Here she is. Just a glance at the duct-sliced bodywork and massive rear wing will tell you that this Porsche means business, but let's look at its bona fides. The heart of the matter, under that short rear deck, is the largest-displacement and most powerful naturally aspirated engine in the 911 family, with 500 horsepower and 338 pound-feet of torque developed by the 4.0-liter flat-six. That hoss of an engine is mated to a newly developed version of Porsche's PDK dual-clutch gearbox – with functions such as "paddle neutral" that effectively works like depressing the clutch on a standard manual, and a Pit Speed button for on the track. Working in concert, engine and trans allow the GT3 RS to sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds, hit a quarter mile in 11.2, and lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in just seven minutes, 20 seconds. (That 'Ring time makes it the fastest current 911 around the benchmark course, and five seconds faster than the current 911 GT3 – so quick.) Weight has been saved via exotic materials; the car sports a magnesium roof and carbon fiber for the trunk and engine lids. Overall the RS is 22 pounds lighter than the GT3, but also boasts a lower center of gravity. As we said at the top, there's a wide, low and aggressive body kit on the GT3 RS, all engineered with racing performance in mind. That huge rear wing is balanced in the front by a deep chin spoiler, and the front wheel arches have been punctuated with vents that help to increase downforce on the front axle. The roll cage is the most obvious interior modification to let one know that this is a racing tool, but Porsche has also slathered the space in Alcantara and installed carbon-fiber bucket seats (based on those found in the 918 Spyder) to drive the point home. The cost of such racing glory will be steep at $175,900 plus a $995 destination charge, but not out of the scope of the current ask for the 911 range, when you consider that a Turbo S runs over $180k. Look for 911 GT3 RS deliveries to start in July of this year in the US, and for track days to be more competitive for the addition.

Porsche 911 Cabriolet refresh may hide new engine
Wed, 22 Jan 2014If we learned nothing else from our recent frolic through Porsche's secret museum, it's that the automaker goes to incredible lengths to disguise future products during initial testing. Just as a number of cars in that Stuttgart bunker hid the true identity of developmental mules (like the Audi-V8-powered 911), such could very well be the case with these spy shots showing what, on the surface, appears to be simply a facelifted 991 911 Cabriolet.
Similar to what we saw last month on a 911 coupe, this Cabriolet has obvious styling modifications made to the front and rear fascias suggesting that the 911's still-fresh appearance is already set to get a few tweaks. The big news here is at the rear of the car. The additional vents on the lower edge of the fascia and the mocked-up vent above the engine leads our spy photographer to believe that a new engine could be tucked under the body work - likely a smaller-displacement, turbocharged flat-six focusing more on improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions rather than performance.
We last heard rumblings of such a detuned 911 back in August, but could this be our first look at said new model? Have a look for yourself, and let us know what you think - either about this mule specifically or the idea of a "green" 911, in Comments below.
Chris Harris hits the track with the Porsche Cayman GT4
Wed, Mar 11 2015The Porsche Cayman GT4 offers the first legitimate chance for Porsche's more compact coupe to really step out of the long shadow of its brother the 911. By placing the 385-horsepower Carrera S engine into the center of a Cayman and sweetening the package with a ton of truly high performance parts, the model can now really show off. The ever-enthusiastic Chris Harris puts on quite a display behind the wheel of the German brand's latest hardcore creation. As is his wont, Harris slides the GT4 all over the Portimao circuit with little wisps of smoke wafting up from its rear Michelin tires. However, what he gets really excited about is Porsche's decision to fit a real manual gearbox, rather than the PDKs rapidly taking over the company's highest performance vehicles. For anyone who loves seeing a sports car's oily bits, stay tuned all the way through because after hooning around for awhile, Harris puts the model up on a lift to find out what's so special. Porsche touts the GT4's 911 GT3-derivied front suspension, but this really shows just how many mechanical adjustments it offers the demanding driver. Related Video:
