According to Edmunds, Porsche says there will be a hybrid version of every major model, from Cayman to Cayenne. The GT3 and GT2 are specialty vehicles, I doubt they will be affected.

Bias ply tires are much more flexible than radial tires, both in the sidewall and in the tread. This is why true drag slicks still use bias ply construction. You want them to flex and dig in on the...

Actually, yeah, that's a good point. Running R compound tires in the cold and wet is generally a bad idea, even with rain grooves like the R888.

It's dangerous to mix bias-ply and radial tires due to vastly different handling characteristics.

It's generally safe but not optimal to mix different radial tires. It could result in...

The reason I didn't like it as a DD car, is the squeaks/rattles, rough ride, cheap interior. Admittedly, the ride can be fixed with a proper set of coilovers. The stock springs are too soft and the...

Having owned an Evo VIII and driven quite a bit in the 370Z, I have to disagree. The Nissan steering and brakes are much slower and softer than in the Evo. Overall, I think the 370Z is a better...

Unladen weight and curb weight numbers aren't really representative of what cars actually weigh on the street. The best thing is to use a publication (Road and Track is one) which actually weighs...

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I just watched the Inside Konigsegg series in the past two days. It is absolutely astounding what a small, independent car company has been able to accomplish with...

Then target the crooked cops, not their families. If the crooks still work for the LAPD, but their families are dead, nobody benefits.

"I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," Dorner wrote.
"I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own, I'm terminating yours."...

Right now I have a 2006 GTO, but I'm reasonably certain I will buy a Subaru BRZ after my mortgage is paid off. Stock the BRZ isn't quick enough for me, but with a smallish turbo I think it will meet...

Yeah, I was considering buying a used Cayman S a while back. I always do research on common failure and maintenance item costs when researching cars. Most Porsche parts really aren't that expensive...

Although the PCCB option is only $8520 on a new car, as you say, the ceramic rotors list price is about $4500 each, so replacing a set with new genuine Porsche parts will cost you almost $20k.

That's a fair point. I was thinking in terms of street cars with a wet sump, where the necessary clearance for that gives you plenty of room for exhaust routing. Of course a race car or supercar...

Well, that depends on cylinder head design, manifold design, how much room you have to work with, etc. I seriously doubt if you swapped a Porsche Cayman H-6 for a V6 you would lower the center of...

A flat engine should lower the center of gravity compared to a V engine, as the cylinder heads are at the same height as the crankshaft. Furthermore, if anything there should be more room to fit...

I'm a shop foreman for a car dealership which recently acquired a Subaru franchise, and between speaking with Subaru technical employees, reading magazine reviews, watching YouTube videos... it was...

I agree. Supposedly they did that to intentionally lower the limits of the car to make them more accessible at reasonable speeds.

Eh, as long as it's AWD and fast, who cares what it looks like? As a former Evo VIII owner, I can say that car is nothing but an econobox package for a superb engine and drivetrain.

If it's front...

Well, I have somewhere between 6-18 months before my mortgage is paid off, depending on how some of my investments turn out, so it will be after that. I will probably wait on the official STi info to...

Current rumor is the BRZ STi will be non-turbo, possibly because of some agreement with Toyota.

Regardless, I had a chance to drive a modified tire/suspension BRZ a couple weeks ago, and I was...

Fooling around on the internet (while planning my first real turbo build), I found these:

I'm in a similar position to the OP, although at this point I'm still looking a year or two out, most likely. One thing I'd like to point out that Irish may have overlooked, is the cost of rebuilding...

Sounds like a twin turbo v10 with big cams and no mufflers to me.

Oh, thank goodness! From some of the leaked photos it looked too... front engined. Also it looked like they may have eliminated the Cayman "hips". These pics look much better, imo.
