Porsche 718 Cayman GT4: Taking Delivery & First Impressions

Today, we join the famous “Fantasy” Jim for a once-in-a-lifetime experience: taking delivery of a brand new, special order, Porsche Cayman GT4.

Porsche bolts a 4.0-liter flat-six with a manual transmission into the new 2020 Cayman GT4 and in doing so fixes the few things we didn’t love about the Cayman. So, when you hear the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4’s naturally aspirated flat-six howling toward 8000 rpm, you find yourself taking a deep, refreshing breath. The hairs on the back of your neck stand up, goose bumps trickle down your spine, and thanks to the dynamic powertrain mounts that firm up when the car is pushed, the frenetic vibrations of the 4.0-liter behind your back course through the car. This thing around you feels alive.

The Porsche Cayman is a mid-engine two-seater sports car manufactured and marketed by German automobile manufacturer Porsche across four generations — as a 2-seater fastback coupé. First launched in the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a coupé derived from Porsche’s second and third generation Boxster roadster, styled in its first iteration by Pinky Lai. All Caymans were manufactured in Finland by Valmet Automotive. As Volkswagen assumed control of Porsche AG, production of Caymans and Boxsters after 2012 began in the former Karmann plant in Osnabrück, Germany, at the time owned by Volkswagen and also used for production of the 2012 Golf (Mk6) convertible.

E36 MAFIA: Midnight Madness Drifting – July 2020

The newly-formed E36 MAFIA drift team goes nutz at Midnight Madness for the third time this year! Jump in, buckle up, and hold on to your tires!

The BMW E36 is the third generation of the BMW 3 Series range of compact executive cars, and was produced from 1990 to 2000. The initial models were of the four-door sedan body style, followed by the coupe, convertible, wagon and hatchback. The E36 was the first 3-Series to be offered in a hatchback bodystyle. It was also the first 3-Series to be available with a six-speed manual transmission, a five-speed automatic transmission and a four-cylinder diesel engine. The multi-link rear suspension was also a significant upgrade, as compared to the previous generations of the 3-Series. The high performance E36 M3 is powered by the BMW S50 or BMW S52 straight-six engine.

Tuned Supra Mk5 vs Turbo LS Supra Mk3

Went to Midnight Madness at Gateway Raceway, and happened to capture this awesome battle between a new Supra Mk5 and a swapped Supra Mk3. It was arguably the best drag race of the night.

The Toyota Supra (トヨタ・スープラ) is a sports car and grand tourer manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation beginning in 1978. The initial four generations of the Supra were produced from 1978 to 2002. The fifth generation has been produced since March 2019 and went on sale in May 2019. The styling of the original Supra was derived from the Toyota Celica, but it was both longer and wider. Starting in mid-1986, the A70 Supra became a separate model from the Celica. In turn, Toyota also stopped using the prefix Celica and named the car Supra. Owing to the similarity and past of the Celica’s name, it is frequently mistaken for the Supra, and vice versa. The first, second and third generations of the Supra were assembled at the Tahara plant in Tahara, Aichi, while the fourth generation was assembled at the Motomachi plant in Toyota City. The fifth generation of the Supra is assembled alongside the G29 BMW Z4 in Graz, Austria by Magna Steyr.

How To LS Swap A Porsche 944 – Part 78

Unedited and uncut, start to finish video, on how to LS swap a Porsche 944.

The Porsche 944 is a sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche from 1982 to 1991. A front-engine, rear-wheel drive mid-level model based on the 924 platform, the 944 was available in coupé or cabriolet body styles, with either naturally aspirated or turbocharged engines.
(Description courtesy of Wikipedia)

The LS based small-block engine is the primary V-8 used in General Motors’ line of rear-wheel-drive cars and trucks. Introduced in January 1995, it is a “clean sheet” design with only rod bearings, lifters, and bore spacing in common with the longstanding Chevrolet small block V8 that preceded it as the basis for GM small-block V8s. The basic LS variations use cast iron blocks, while performance editions are all aluminium with cast iron cylinder liners. The LS small-block has been manufactured in three Generations – III, IV, and V – with preceding Generations I and II of modular GM small-block engines having been based on the Chevrolet small-block V8 originally designed in 1955. GM recycled the “LT” designation beginning with the LS Generation V “LT1” in 2014.

Mowing The Field With My New Lawnmower!

When you design an off-road truck with a small V6 engine and integrated exhaust manifolds, it’s going to sound absolutely terrible. Thanks Chevy! On the positive side, I now have a really cool lawnmower to play with. Haha. ^_^

The ZR2 concept was shown at the 2014 LA Auto Show, and due to positive feedback, a production-ready version was announced two years later at the 2016 LA Auto Show, and released for the 2017 lineup. The Colorado ZR2 offers the same amenities as its brother the Z71, but is heavily tailored towards off-road performance. The ZR2 model is available in two body configurations; crew cab with 5ft bed, and an extended cab with 6ft bed. Engine options are the 3.6L LGZ V6 gas engine, and the 2.8L Duramax LWN turbo-diesel engine. Chevrolet designed many new parts specifically for the ZR2 to improve off-road performance, including Multimatic DSSA shocks.

Chevy Colorado ZR2: Best Sound Settings For Android Auto

I’ve owned the ZR2 for a little over a year now, and spent a lot of time struggling to get good sound. Since I have the “basemodel” audio system, there was never enough bass. (Haha, get it?) Here are my equalizer settings for strong bass notes when listening to Rock and Rap music. If you would like to share your equalizer settings, please comment below!
