2008 GT3 RS in Black with Black Wheels

There has been a lot of interest in the GT3 RS’s. Roger Burdette’s ‘07 and this ‘08. As I only had one picture posted of the ‘08 I thought I would add a few more. Black with Black interior, wheels and graphics and Ceramic Composite Brakes. One of a kind. This car went into a private collection. What awesome cars the RS’s are. Do you like the all Black?

Roger Burdette’s 2007 GT3 RS and 2003 Carrera Track Car

Here are two of Roger’s passions next to his family and his faith. A 2007 GT3 RS and a 2003 Race prepared track car. Roger loved the paint scheme of his RS so much that he had the track car painted to match. He had Autometrics build his track car from the ground up to compete in NASA and Porsche Club racing. It is powered by an X51 factory engine and the car has stock brakes. I got a chance to ride with Roger and the brakes were shocking. I thought they had to be an after market set up they were so good. Roger placed second in his first outing with the car. I will post updates on his track success and performance as well as technical updates as he shares them if any one is interested.

Congratulations Tony !

 

Tony Curtis and his ‘99 Boxster moved up to Blue Solo at the CERPCA Driver’s Ed last weekend. Tony’s instructor was Jim Izant. He recently added a cold air intake system and headers to his Boxster.  He said he felt a noticeable increase in torque and is planning a few more modifications. Congratulations and can’t wait to see you at the next DE.

 

Drop the kids off at soccer practice and head out to the race track. That’s not what happened here but sounds fun. What other SUV can you do this with? The Cayenne is definitely up to the task.  This is not the first time I have seen a Cayenne at a Driver’s Ed. I have seen Cayenne’s, Cayenne Turbo’s and now an ‘08 Cayenne S. This gentleman had a great weekend!

Coastal Empire Region Porsche Club of America Driver’s Ed

Here are a few images from the Drive’s Education on Father’s Day week-end held by our local club, The Coastal Empire Region of The Porsche Club of America. The weather was beautiful for the 73 cars and participants. What a GREAT mix of cars. The driver’s education events are open to all makes. Roger Janson, David Grandt, Mary Meyer and George de la Bruyere did a fantastic job organizing and running the event along with their group of volunteers.

Number 13 is back on the track

Jim Izant and George de la Bruyere have installed their new electronic fuel injected 3.0 liter twin plug engine and have “Old Number 13″ back on the track. They had a ball doing shake downs at the Coastal Empires recent drivers ed. They still have some tuning to do on the fuel injection on the lap top but getting to tune on your race car is never a bad thing.

1986 Porsche Slant Nose Turbo with only 2500 miles


How often do you get to see one of these? This is a ONE OWNER, unrestored, original 1986 Slant Nose Turbo with ONLY 2500 miles that belongs to Bill Blincoe. This car is absolutly spotless. It was here for service and I could not keep my eyes off of it. I have a love for Slant Nose cars. Do you think this is one of the stand out cars in the Turbo history?
