Pictures And Pricing Of The Porsche Boxter GTS And Cayman GTS
|
By now, you must have heard that Porsche has introduced two new models, the Boxster GTS and the Cayman GTS. Like other GTS models before them, both the Boxster and Cayman offer additional horse power, various options as standard equipment and visual difference from their non-GTS counterparts. Read all about them in this post.
| Is The Porsche 914 Finally Getting The Respect It Deserves?
|
As prices rise into the stratoshpere on most air-cooled Porsches, the values of certain other models (914, 924, 944, etc.)
have not really kept pace. In fact, certain models, like the 914 in particular, have been the recipients of constant derision from certain other Porsche owners and automotive media. That's changing. Pricing is on the rise and we're starting to see more and more videos like the one in this post.

Have You Ever Seen A Glockler 914-6? This Example Is Said To Be One of One
|
How do we define rarity? When it was built, the 914 was the most prolific and the least rare Porsche ever made. More than 200,000 of them made it to market between 1969 and 1976, far eclipsing 911 and 912 sales. A 914, then, could not be called rare, could it? Well, there were certainly
some variants of 914 that are very rare indeed. This Glockler 914-6 is one of them.
| Why Would You D Porsche Classic Just Introduced 2 Motor Oils For Air-Cooled Porsches
|
We've read lots of stories and posts about all the various additives that should be in synthetic oil for air-cooled. We've also read how certain brands have changed their formulas over the years possibly removing essential additives needed for classic Porsches. We're by no means experts on oil, but this past week Porsche Classic announced two new oils made specifically for air-cooled Porsches that address
many of these concerns.

| FROM THE ARCHIVES: The Space Shuttle And Commercial Airplanes Use Nitrogen In Their Tires. Should You? 1 |
The answer, it would appear, depends on who you ask. You see, Nitrogen is used in the space shuttle and in commercial airliners mostly because it is non-combustible. The likely hood of the tires on your Porsche getting hot enough, during normal driving, to explode is fairly slim . However, there are other reasons to consider Nitrogen. |

Freedom behind the wheel, that's what Porsche's new Boxster GTS promises. The GTS is an all new experience, and yet a familiar one at the same time. It takes the already fanatically fun-to-drive 981 Boxster platform and kicks it up a couple notches. Falling only a few
feet short of taking down the almighty 991 Carrera, the new GTS promises excellent driving dynamics at an excellent dollar to smile ratio. |

Scout Could Use Your Positive Thoughts This Week
|
We're sorry for the brevity of our newsletter this week. Normally, we don't usually get very personal in our weekly emails as we like to keep them as "pure" as possible. However, Scout (our
Greater Swiss Mountain Dog) is gravely ill and on his third night in critical care at Angell Memorial. As a result we just haven't been able to focus as much as we would like to. Scout is a HUGE Porsche fan and along with his sister, Lucy, tests all of the press cars we get to make sure they are appropriate for other Porsche loving dogs. If not on the beach, or his couch, Scout can usually be
found in the back of his Cayenne surveying the road for friends to bark at. Please send your positive thoughts to Scout. Hopefully, we can bring him home soon. Paula (aka "Pepper Girl"). |
