It’s no secret how I feel about Gemballa. I love their creations and have for a number of years now. Known for never leaving well enough alone, Gemballa took on the Carrera GT a few years ago. Again, not one to leave well WELL enough alone, they decided to release a special edition called the […]

The name of the company is Switzer Performance Innovations founded by Tym Switzer and located in Oberlin, Ohio.

One of a Kind Porsche for D.C.
July 22, 2009 by
I came across a story a few weeks ago about a guy named Eduardo Bodmer who had always wanted a Porsche. The title of the story is what caught me: “Check Out My Ride: Bringing a first-of-its-kind Porsche to D.C. meant doing things differently”. Of course it grabbed me! Bodmer was looking for a Porsche, […]
Modern Day Speedster
July 15, 2009 by
I’m not usually much for retro cars nor replicas. The classic autos that I actually like, which is few and far between unless you consider cars from the 80’s to be classics (ouch!), I pretty much only like the original versions of. Replicas feel like “what’s the point” to me. Kind of like drinking decaf […]
9ff ‘Widowmaker’ Live Up To It’s Name?
July 9, 2009 by
Take another quick look at the picture above. That is one stinking sexy ride. Gotta say I love the paint, wheels, everything. It’s a “run-of-the-mill” Porsche 911 GT2 that has been turned into…..well…..a husband killer. 9ff has transformed a 520 hp, kick butt ride into an absolute rocket. The BT-2 or ‘widowmaker’ has been boosted […]
Put Your Porsche on the Perfect Slice of Metal
May 29, 2009 by
I’ve never fancied myself much of a wheel guy. Always seemed like too many choices and potential screw-ups when choosing wheels. Choose the wrong ones and your sweet ride turns into a hideous bomb. However, driving the Giveaway Porsche and looking at lots of exotic cars has started to give me an appreciation for what […]
Wimmer RS Porsche GT2 Ready To Run With the Big Boys
May 19, 2009 by
A Google search wants to correct “Wimmer” with “winner” which also seems to be akin to the response of a lot of people, including myself. “Who’s Wimmer?” was my first thought when I stumbled across the 680-hp Porsche GT2 monster they turned out. As it turns out, Wimmer Rennsporttechnik Solingen is a small German tuner […]
Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS – One Serious Twister!
April 28, 2009 by
Gemballa has done it again. Course I’m not surprised. After my 7 Days of Porsche Tuners series, I’ve gotten to thinking that tuners really should do more extreme stuff for their flagship vehicles. It’s just not enough to slap a few body mods on, change the ECU and charge twice the going rate for the […]
Porsche Tuners List
April 24, 2009 by
I ran across a handy directory while doing research for the 7 Days of Porsche Tuners special I started late last month. I thought I’d throw it up here in case any of you have interest and want to do a little exploration on your own. You can check it out on Planet Porsche: PlanetPorsche.com […]
