This is dang cool! The Porsche 911 GT3 R Hybrid, Porsche’s latest technological advancement for the track, showed it’s stuff recently with a win in a preparation race for the Nürburgring 24 hour race. It’s the second race in the 2011 Long Distance Championship. Drivers Richard Lietz, Marco Holzer and Patrick Long had to pit […]

May 30, 2011 by
Nick sent this in last week and it’s a heck of a great video. The perspective is just behind the driver’s head, complete with audio. One of those mesmerizing videos to me.
How Would You Modify A Porsche 968?
May 25, 2011 by
One of our PorschePerfect.com readers, Don, emailed me a couple of days ago asking what modifications he should make to his Porsche 968. Here’s what he asked: I would like to know what updates and modifications are possible for my Porsche 968?

This is a great video of the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS. I love it when they work footage of old cars into videos like this.
How To Make Your Laptop 100x Faster
May 22, 2011 by
This cracked me up. I ran across this picture on an SQL Server blog. The editor, Steve Jones, decided he was tired of his slow laptop and wanted to speed things up. His solution is quite ingenious. Reminds me of the scene from Vacation where Clark Griswald forgets he’s tied grandma’s dog to the bumper. […]

May 21, 2011 by
James O. and I recently had the opportunity to talk with Charles Morgan, the owner of the #45 PrivacyStar car driven by none other than Patrick Long in the Pirelli World Challenge Series. Morgan also owns TrueSpeed, a company focused on the sales and servicing of Porsches, with a relatively new racing division. For those […]
A TECHART Porsche Even YOU Can Afford
May 20, 2011 by
I found this press release from a few weeks ago an interesting one. It’s from TECHART about a new model they’re producing. Literally…a model.

What Do You Get When You Cross A Porsche Boxster With A Volkswagen Bug? Bugster
May 17, 2011 by
Ahhh, what people with too much time on their hands get themselves into. Although this would be better fit for a Volkswagen or Bug site, there are solid connections to Porsche making it fitting for PorschePerfect. It seems an Austrian man, Siegfried Rudolf, the owner of CarMaxx which specializes in restoring and customizing Porsche and […]
Porsche 911 Turbo S vs. Nissan GT-R Video
May 16, 2011 by
Not our normal video, but I found this one entertaining and some great driving footage. Seems a bit scripted, but still a cool video. I think in the hands of someone NOT wearing a suit jacket (who IN THE WORLD wears a suit jacket to track cars???), the Porsche 911 Turbo S would have fared […]
