Where to store a large car collection can be an extremely difficult question to answer. Jay Leno's Big Dog Garage is a wonderful facility, but much of it is more museum than garage. Perhaps more importantly, even for Jay it's a destination. He doesn't live on site. For most of us a home which includes enough
space for our hobby is the ideal solution, necessitating the ultimate home garage. While many homes have garages, few are built around storing and displaying vehicles. The enthusiast owner of the Porsche RS collection we featured recently gave us access to not only his car collection, but the home and garages he built to house it all.

CAN YOU COMPARE A 996 TURBO TO A 991.2 C4S? |
|
|
|
|
Believe it or not, you can. With the 991 engines now featuring forced induction engines it's a much closer comparison than you would think. I know, they're generations apart in terms of size, design and technology, but from a straight performance specification standpoint, the two Porsches are almost
identical.

|
|
|
|
Patrick Long's love of Porsches runs deep. He has 911s from nearly every decade of production. He's raced Porsches at Le Mans, and currently he's racing a 911 in the Pirelli World Challenge. When the time came for Project Cars 2 to bring Porsche into their game, the list of drivers to consult was probably pretty short.

LAST CHANCE TO WIN 1 OF 5 TEQUIPMENT BATTERY CHARGERS |
|
|
|
|
Spring has sprung and that means, for those of us who store our Porsches over the winter, our Porsches have come out of hibernation. While an exciting time, it used to be an anxious time, too. Would my Porsche start? Did my battery charger do its job? Once I switched to the Porsche Tequipment Charge-o-mat
Pro and realized how reliable and easy it is to use, my fears were alleviated. Once again, Tequipment is offering 5 more lucky FLATSIXES.com readers the chance to win their own charger.

HOW FAR IS TOO FAR? THE BBI CAYMAN GT4 STREET
CUP |
|
|
|
|
Make a Porsche too soft, and it doesn't work on track. Make a Porsche too hard, and it doesn't work on the street. Trying to toe that line is a major challenge in any suspension build, and one I will struggle with during Project 944 GTS. While the Cayman GT4 is pretty hardcore for a production Porsche, it is still daily drivable. When Jason Overell brought his GT4 to BBI for their Street Cup suspension, he did it with the
intent of taking the GT4 to the next level.

WHAT DOES THE 919 HAVE IN COMMON WITH THE POWER SUPPLY FOR A
VILLAGE? |
|
|
|
|
I know, it's a strange question, but if the 919 were a "power station" it would have produced enough energy over the course of all its testing and race weekends to power a "village" of 15 houses, each occupied by four people, for an entire year. That's just one of the interesting facts we've compiled about the 919
as we prepare for Le Mans.
