Porsche 911 GT3 (997.1) Review: What Makes It Special and How It Evolved

First Impressions of the 997.1 GT3 I had the chance to drive an early 997-generation Porsche 911 GT3, a standout model in the GT3 lineage. In a nutshell, it feels less demanding than the later 997 GT3, yet stiffer and more advanced than the late 996 GT3. Starting the engine makes it clear that Porsche gave the exhaust note more attention than in the 996. The engine fires up with a bold “zwoom”. It’s quieter...

Is Porsche’s Front Axle Lift System Worth It? What I Learned from Ownership

Porsche offers an option called the Front Axle Lift System. The Front Axle Lift System temporarily raises the front of the car. It helps protect the nose of a low-slung sports car from scraping on steep driveways, parking garage ramps, and similar obstacles, especially at low speeds. Porsche’s website says: “The front end can be raised by 40 mm at speeds of up to 35 km/h. This minimizes the risk of the vehicle making contact...

This time, I’m taking a close look at the correct way to install wheels on our air-cooled Porsche 911 (964)—a decidedly niche topic. Longtime air-cooled Porsche owners may think, “Is that all?” But this is also a great example of just how seriously Porsche takes driving precision, so I wanted to share it. Porsche Wheel Bolts: Standard and Locking Bolts The standard Porsche wheel bolts used on models such as the 964 (part no. 99918200336)...

Selling My Carrera T After 8,000 km: Why I Let It Go and What I Bought Next

At the very end of last year, I sold my 911 Carrera T. It had 8,000 km on the clock. It was the first Porsche I’d bought with my own money—and it was truly mine. I’d carefully chosen the spec, and driving it was an absolute thrill. I spent a long time wrestling with the decision to let it go.

How Our Family’s Car Choices Have Changed: Driving Fun, Comfort, or Compactness?

As our children were born and grew up, our family’s car life changed, too. Before we had children, we drove the sports car my husband had owned since his single days. But as our family grew, so did the priorities that shaped our car choices. My own attitude toward cars—and what I valued in them—also had a major influence on the cars we chose over the years. Our family’s circumstances change year by year, as...
