We don’t feature too many Porsche 924s on PorschePerfect.com. Not that they aren’t great cars, just not that many worth featuring these days. They tend to be beat up, abused and unsightly. That’s exactly the condition this Porsche 924 was in when Tony Griffin, a former Porsche mechanic and Porsche race car driver, found the […]

Weekly Porsche Wrap
July 17, 2011 by
Porsche may bridge the $600k gap between high end models – Rumors are flying around that Porsche may have a semi-super car in the works. One that would fit above the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, but below the Porsche 918 Spyder. Some sites are reporting this is to make up for lacking sales. Say what?! […]
Porsche Panamera vs. Shanghai International Circuit
July 16, 2011 by
Last month, the Porsche Panamera Turbo took on the Shanghai International Circuit. The result? A track record for a four door production sedan. I know plenty of people hate em, but I love the black exterior with black wheels. Some great driving footage.
Friday Afternoon Porsche Cartoon

Brad, one of our PorschePerfect.com readers, sent me this cartoon yesterday. Don’t come across too many Porsche cartoons worthy of reposting, but this one made me chuckle. Thanks Brad! [Source: SpeedBump.com]
Is The Porsche 911 Really Bullet Proof?
July 15, 2011 by
The short answer is nope. Frankly, I just don’t get this video. This makes even less sense than the hicks beating up the Porsche 928 a couple of years ago (Why Hicks Should Never Touch a Porsche). I’m saving you the agony of seeing the 9+ minute version. Here’s a picture of what it looked […]
Singer 911 Featured on Video
July 14, 2011 by
I first heard about the Singer Porsche 911 a couple of years ago and have thought often about the orange Singer beauty since then (Singer Porsche 911). It represents possibly one of the coolest old meets new designs I’ve ever seen on a Porsche 911. I absolutely love the orange color of the Singer Porsche […]
Jeff Zwart’s Record Setting Pikes Peak Run Video
July 13, 2011 by
This is a continuation to the video I posted on Monday. Jeff Zwart not only drove his Porsche 911 GT2 RS to Pikes Peak this year, traveling over 110o miles to get there, he ran the car up Pikes Peak in record setting time this year. Some really cool footage both in the car and […]
Porsche Boxster E: Do We Really Want An Electric Porsche?
July 12, 2011 by
I’ve been mulling over the Porsche Boxster E since the trio of cars showed up at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum in Berlin in May. Two Boxster E models were represented: one car containing two electric motors, and two cars with just one electric motor. The tests of the day were successful as far as Porsche […]
Weekly Porsche Wrap
July 11, 2011 by
Party ends early for a pair of teens – A couple of teenagers were headed to a party last week in daddy’s Porsche Boxster at 1:30am on a highway in Houston, Texas when another car began to frantically wave them down. Seems the back of the car was on fire. The teens pulled over and […]
The Road To Pikes Peak In A Porsche 911 GT2 RS Video
July 11, 2011 by
One of the amazing things to me about the Porsche 911 is how closely some of the road going cars match to the track versions. Sure there are tires, weight savings from deleted creature comforts, and better fuel, but the degree of separation is rather small overall. This video, although not particularly exciting, has some […]
