The Porsche 928 is possibly the best GT car ever made. The V8 powered German performance car is just made for eating miles.
It is comfortable and powerful for its vintage. It also features near 50 / 50 weight distribution to help it handle quite well. This is thanks to its front engine rear transaxle layout.
Audi and BMW have announced that they will be leaving Formula E. Audi will return to endurance racing and will now return to competing at the top level of Le Mans.
With Audi’s announcement the question is what does this mean for their VW Group stable mate, Porsche? The history of Porsche at the top level of Le Mans is epic. From the Porsche 917 to the most recent top level winner, the 919 Hybrid it is the stuff of legend.
The 1999 Porsche 996 is one of the last 911s that offers a vintage driving experience. It was the last time you could get a Porsche 911 with a cable driven throttle body instead of the modern eGas system.
It is still when the 911 was very mechanical instead of using wizardry like torque vectoring. Because of this you have to respect the rear engine bias more than you do in a newer 911. Although, it is better behaved than earlier versions of the German rear engined sports car.
Not all that long ago the Ferrari 308 was one of the most affordable Ferraris you could purchase. Times have definitely changed and a decent example will now cost you over $90k.
The prancing horse that was feature in Magnum PI is an icon of the 80’s. It’s stylish wedge shape and mid-mounted V8 are the formula for a vintage Italian sports car experience.
2020 has been a crazy year. Between stay at home orders, a pandemic and the fact that you can’t just buy a roll of toilet paper, it has been insane. The year will likely take a history book in itself to tell about to future generations.
If you have followed me recent then you know that during this COVID-19 pandemic, I purchased a Porsche 911 Carrera (996). The buying experience was unique, but helped me get a better deal on what turned out to be the cheapest Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe in the USA with under 100K miles and a clean title, at the time of purchase.
