our favorite porsches on ebay
We've been compiling the best Porsche models on eBay for over a year now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing cars pop up now and again. There is some great new stuff every two weeks, so check back often. We've tracked down five more exciting Porsches for you nice people to purchase today, including a rough and ready 356 coupe, a factory lightweight 911, a great deal Turbo, a nice light proper mid-engine sports car, and a Sport Ute with a Stick. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

If you're reading this newsletter, then you already know that Porsche has made a monumental change with the 911 engines and switched from naturally aspirated to forced induction using turbos.  But do you know how much turbo lag there is, how much torque is available at what RPM, how the new engine compares to the old? Those questions and more are answered in this video and linked article.
Did You Enter For Your Chance To Win A Trip To Rennsport?
Porsche Rennsport Reunion V contest
If you only visit FLATSIXES.com once a week, you are probably missing out! This post is a great example of why.  Porsche was offering a trip for two (airfare, hotel and event tickets included) to Rennsport Reunion V. All you had to do to win was show off your expertise as a Porsche motorsport expert and match the exhaust notes of 4 different race cars to their respective engines.  We told you about it right after it was announced.  However, if you haven't visit our site this week, checked out our facebook page or our tweets you might have missed it. We're sorry if you didn't get to enter, but you can still play the game and see how quickly you can identify the sounds of these iconic Porsches.  Remember, if you can't come to the site more often you can always stay in touch on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.

Reader Submitted Pictures
This highly-modified TPC Racing 2006 Cayman S caught the eye of auto photographer extraordinaire Erik Breihof.  He snapped this photo at what has become a summer ritual for many, Cars and Coffee, in Annapolis, Maryland.  The owner, FLATSIXES.com reader Win Anderson II, states that his car is dual-purpose, meant for both the street and track, and claims it's 'a lot of fun'.  He has built it over the course of a few years, and the '21' is homage to the film "Le Mans".

We want to thank everyone that has sent in pictures so far and we'll do our best to get them all published in time.   If you have a favorite Porsche picture (or video) you would like to share with other FLATSIXES.com readers simply email it to pictureoftheweek@flatsixes.com.

Project Boxster Clubsport - Part 9
With the intro of the 2nd generation 991 many of us were so caught up in the excitement surrounding the change to turbos from naturally aspirated engines that we didn't question some of the missing details in Porsche's release.  Well, we've had time to get over that excitement and the number one thing you asked of us was to find out what the new 991.2 would weigh. The answer is in this post.

Introducting Mission E: Porsche's All Electric, 600 HP Concept
Porsche Mission E
It came as no surprise today when Porsche unveiled the 2nd generation 991.2 during their press conference in Frankfurt at the motor show.  However, there was a conspicuously empty third spot on the Frankfurt stage that had people wondering what did Porsche have planned? That's when the Mission E, Porsche first all-electric 4-door concept, stormed the stage.  To say it was electrifying wouldn't even begin to describe it.  We have details, pictures and video of what just may be Porsche's future in this post.
