Porsche Weekly Wrap

N. Technology Porsche Panamera scores a debut win in the series round – I’ll admit, when I first mentioned this car a couple of weeks ago, I was a naysayer (Three…ummm…interesting Porsches).

2l7registry.com dedicated to the 2.7 liter 911 – I received an email last week from the French owner of a site dedicated to the Porsche 911 2.7 liter. These are 1974 thru 1977 911′s and have generally been frowned upon due to reliability issues. I remember reading Bruce Anderson’s monthly technical Q&A section in Excellence [...]
