I LOVE small displacement motors with a high piston count. Not featured here, but a favorite of mine is the Hartley H1 V8, a 2.8L 75 degree V8 made from two Hayabusa motors.

Yeah, when I had mine, the Vertex rebuilt control arms had Volvo ball joints re-pressed in and reportedly weren’t any good. Rebuilt water pumps also sucked (I had one leak immediately), and the Porsche part was typically expensive. While I stayed on top of maintenance schedules, little did I know that a broken…

I loved driving in Boston. I was 19 and drove like a jerk...but I always signaled. The trick that I learned in Boston was to get the hell out of the way. Signal, move in, and get the hell out of there. If it doesn’t waste anyone else’s time, you’re good. Also, never make eye contact with another driver in Boston.…

He doesn’t need to use flashing lights to communicate his intentions. He’s already driving a BMW, so everyone’s looking at him and his awesome ride anyway. ;)

Yeah, I agree that it’s the easy way out...but I’d bet that the cost of the swap is on par with the cost of head work to repair the valve damage from a broken timing belt (I always wished that Porsche used a timing chain with the interference design of the 944/951/968 motor). The LS swap also doesn’t get around the…

The 924S was always the winning package, because lightness always wins.

I had an ‘87 for a while. Was my first Porsche and a great driving car, very stable, even though the transaxle design didn’t make for the most exciting handling. Still, it was a good driver - a more comfortable car than the 911's of that same era, too. Maintenance was ugly though...very ugly. Ball joints/control…

Pretty much this, but don’t bother with the S. No noticeable power gain, more complex valvetrain.

OK, I’ll be that pedantic butthole.

0:22 - Red Bull’s got taurine. It’s what camber bolt engineers crave.

I’ve read a few laws related to speed (although I am not a lawyer), but I have not read any law that uses the term “rate of speed”.

Not the case here (given that only one officer was able to clock the car’s speed, others made an observation of a car traveling at high speed). Even if this were the case, the caption casually used the term three times without indicating anything about the rate (time observed). This is a case of using extraneous…

In other news, a police department is dumb enough to use the term “rate of speed” three times in one statement.

You can out run a police car. But you can’t out run his radio.

A year and a half after this article was published and these are finally available in America. I just ordered one as an early birthday present for myself. Can’t wait to get it in. I’m so sick of my crappy “top of the line” Kenwood.

That’s funny, I thought that this is how nitrous oxide works.

This! It’s a more efficient means of conveyance and it is good exercise. On a bike, I can get exercise, and get to where I’m going faster (where time might not allow for walking).

I wonder why this never made it into mainstream production? ;)

You make a fantastic point. A Forester is a completely different vehicle than an Excursion/Subarban or a minivan, which is what I’m really talking about. The Excursions/Suburbans/Minivans are fine vehicles, but for the majority of us, these go back to the original point that I made about choosing a vehicle to drive a…

It seems like a really nice car and all...but it’s just not what I’m looking for in a 911. I’m sure that it provides all of the numbers (power, EPA figures, etc), and it sounds pretty cool. Still, turbo charging a flat six doesn’t provide the instant throttle response that I love in 911's (seriously, if you’re going…
