Most of you know that I’m really not much of a racing fan. Not that I don’t like racing, it’s just that I don’t know enough to truly appreciate the sport. I do show flahes of racing love every now and then though. And this happens to be one of those times. This is one [...]

Porsche-baby-Boxster

I had a couple of things that didn’t make the Sunday post, but found them too interesting to pass up. VW GTI is Porsche Fan’s starter car – I found this pretty interesting and the logic somewhat believable. Brian Scotto, editorial director of 0-60 Magazine says, “The GTI has a direct bloodline to Audis and [...]

I posted about the Guardian Angel Motorsports car racing at this year’s Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona to raise money for several children focused causes. What I didn’t realize was that PorschePurist.com was going to be a sponsor with a logo on the car! John over at PorschePurist.com sent me the picture above. Notice the [...]

The biggest difference between them and the other teams, though, is they’ll be logging laps in their Porsche 997 GT3 [...]

Historic Porsche or Marketing Fake?

I passed on mentioning this car last week because I had determined in my mind that this was a fake. After taking another look, I’m not 100% sure, although I’m still leaning towards that end. I thought I’d throw it out here to see what everyone thought. This particular car is a prototype designed and [...]
