 It is hard to put a value on something that is so extraordinary that is truly one of a kind.  What price after all could one put on pure bliss?  If you are reading this ad, you know probably can imagine the feeling of getting in your dream car and putting some distance between you and your everyday life.
 
There is no doubt certain cars create an absolute frenzy. They can draw crowds, spark up nostalgia and almost immediately make our lives that much less ordinary. With a turn of their ignition they can forge a grin on the toughest of men and with each passing mile make our dreams come true.  
 
These cars have a blend that is one part beautiful design, one part extreme power to weight and a dash of adrenaline that can only be enhanced by a sound so symphonic it stays in in our minds vault for an eternity.

This ad is to showcase on of these very special cars.  Ava is a Porsche 356 Outlaw Replica that can stand proudly amongst some of the world’s most beautiful vehicles.  Designed and professionally built to spec for a high performance 911 drivetrain, positively no excuses need be made regarding her heritage.

Ava’s collection of best in show trophies and her online following speak volumes to the fanfare that has resulted since a recent refit and transition into a full on yet fully drivable 356 Outlaw Roadster. The car’s work was performed by some of the best talent in my region and a complete history of the work performed will transition to Ava’s next keeper.

Ultimately my goal with Ava was to create a best of its kind Outlaw and that’s what I believe you see before you today. The car can be driven with tremendous enthusiasm for hundreds of miles on end. The fiberglass 356 body eliminates the concern of rust and expands the car’s usability while the scorching performance delivered by a 200+ Horsepower Porsche Flat Six and highly modified suspension places Ava’s go fast capabilities can humiliate many a late model super car.

Some Details:
 
Ava is Historic Registered and Titled  in NJ as a 1956 356 Porsche. Her power comes from a very warmed up John Donohue built 2.7 Liter motor with Mahle pistons, a set of Webers and a laundry list of other hi-po goodies.

The car was manufactured using a slab side body with very minor rear SC style flares over a modified partial tube frame, Porsche 911 rear suspension, Disk Breaks and a Porsche 5 speed 901 transmission.  

As you look through the supporting photos you will start to see the car was not intended to reflect any one particular 356 model year. Nor was it supposed to be an exact clone.  While the original cars are great, Ava was never intended to be passed off this of as part of their tribe.  

Some of trim pieces that make this 356 replica so special include: Dash Mounted Heuer Stopwatches, Custom Fitted 356 Carrera Rear Valance, Adjustable SuperTrap Trumpets, Route 30 Classics-Speedster Headrest Cowl, Fibersteel Porsche 550 Spyder Mirrors and Leather Bonnet Straps, Nardi Wheel with Porsche Crest, Original Early Series Porsche Fuchs, Lemans Style Auxiliary Lamps, an Original 356: rear Deck Lid, Door Strikes, Hinges, Gas Tank, Glass, Convertible D Top Frame and German Cloth Top and soft cover as well as a fair amount of  other original 356 trim bits throughout.

Starting out, the objective was to have a very unique car that would sound epic, look ravishing, and drive like a street legal racer. The great conversations and new friendships, trophies and other attention well…they became pleasant but unexpected outcomes of life with Ava.

Are you the 2017 Porsche 911 GTS Targa?

Sun, Nov 30 2014

Our spy shooters have caught a strange, mash-up beast wearing a Porsche badge. Superficially, this is a facelift for the 911 Targa that features new bumpers, door handles and a redesigned engine cover, along with new light graphics for the front and rear lights. But have a look around back, and you'll find two inboard exhaust pipes; they aren't right up against each other as on the 911 GT3, but are spaced about five inches apart. The shooters said the first time they saw that arrangement was last winter, on a convertible during testing. We saw it again more recently in spy shots of what was thought to be the 911 GTS coupe prototype at the track. But when the production GTS arrived, it wore the traditional quad-pipe at the corners. The theory put forward by the spy photog: the current GTS has a naturally aspirated engine, but facelifted prototypes they've been seeing all have turbo engines, so this could be the facelifted Targa coming in 2017, after the 991-model 911 gets a refresh. In that case, the GTS coupe prototype at the track would have also been a post-refresh, turbo-engined GTS. It's only a hypothesis, but more than one outlet has reported that Porsche is going all-turbo for the updated 2015 models – the new exhaust position and those 911-Turbo-like vents could be their identifiers. We expect to find out when the lineup is unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, possibly codenamed 992 instead of 991.2.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS takes center stage with Petrolicious

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Today, one of the most exciting track toys available is the Porsche 911 GT3. Its forbearer, though, was an altogether different beast that was every bit as exciting. Yes, we're talking about the old 911 Carrera RS that blessed the early 1970s. With a mere 1,580 cars built, meant specifically to satisfy the FIA's homologation requirements, the RS is one rare pre-Malaise era cars.
Complete with a 2.7-liter flat-six engine, this RS of Mark Haddawy is one of the earlier examples of the breed (later cars received a larger, 3.0-liter engine). Still, it can scamper to 60 miles per hour in a very respectable 5.6 seconds and will happily hit 150 mph in a straight line. Sporting Porsche's iconic duckbill rear spoiler, the equally iconic Fuchs wheels, as well as slew of options, as Haddawy points out, each of the nearly 1,600 RS models is its own unique iteration on the Porsche performance formula.
Take a look below for the latest video from the crew at Petrolicious.
