Project 944 GTS update
Car Week on the Monterey Peninsula is upon us once again.  Amongst the more familiar sights and sounds are the offerings presented by the various auction houses.  As we do every year, we've compiled a list of all the Porsches set to cross the blocks of the likes of Gooding & Co, RM Sotheby's, Bonhams, Mecum, etc.  There's literally something for everyone with estimates as low as $40k to as high as $16,000,000.

FUTURE BARN FINDS
We've been compiling some amazing Porsche models on eBay for over two years now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing cars pop up now and again. This week's mix should have a little something for everyone. Keep in mind, some of these Porsches could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

MY FAVORITE CORNERS. WHAT AND WHERE ARE YOURS?
​​​​​​​

Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge driver Jake Eidson just finished a very exciting weekend encompassing Rounds 8, 9 and 10 of the IMSA Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama. Unfortunately, a massive pileup at his previous event at Watkins Glen caused that race to be postponed, so he had three races at Road America this weekend instead of two. Jake tells us this made the weekend very long, and at times it was extremely stressful with a mix of wet and dry track conditions. However, with the additional races and mixed conditions, he became very accustomed to the track and there were a few corners that he especially enjoyed.

JUDGE SENTENCED TO 8-YEARS IN PRISON FOR DRIVING PORSCHE HE ORDERED CONFISCATED FROM ACCUSED
​​​​​​​
PARTS OBSOLETE
When you go from billionaire to broke overnight, it usually means you're having a pretty bad day. You would think things couldn't get worse, but you'd be wrong. Just ask former billionaire Eike Batista, once Brazil's richest man. In 2013, after his EBX conglomerate fell apart and his oil firm OGX filed for Latin America's largest bankruptcy, Flavio Roberto de Souza, the judge presiding over some of the charges against Batista, ordered a number of Batista's assets seized, including a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. To add insult to injury, the Judge was then spotted driving the Cayenne he himself ordered confiscated.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​
CHRIS HARRIS DRIVING 991.2 GT3
At this point, the newest version of Porsche's venerable 911 GT3, the 991.2 version, has been reviewed ad nauseam by all the usual suspects. We know it has 493 HP making it capable of a top speed of 198 MPH and only takes 7.3 seconds to reach 100 MPH from a standstill. Despite all that, what we haven't seen is Chris Harris sliding one around his track of choice as he talks through his review as if he were out for a Sunday drive.
