The new Boxster is more than merely an evolution of the current 987 Boxster. The previous generation Boxster (987) has been crowned the benchmark for premium brand 2 seat roadsters. Benchmark infers a target for the competition, however this new Boxster has moved in to a category of one.

To call the new Boxster a new Boxster may also be a bit misleading. The 981 is the quintessential sports car, a rebirth, or modern expression of the…

The Almost Completely New Porsche 911/991

Published Saturday, 28 January, 2012 by Jack McCall. Categories: New Inventory.

Let's start by putting this new model into perspective. The new 991 911 Carrera S turned a lap time on Nurburgring's Nordschleife of 7:40. Is that good? Here are a few cars that also turned 7:40's: Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, MB SLR McLaren, and Ford GT40. The 2010 Porsche Turbo was clocked at 7:39.

Are we looking at a radical change? While the 991's appearance may seem very similar to all the other 911's to a non-Porsche person, this car is 17 seconds faster than its predecessor on the previously mentioned track. That…

991 V 997/2

Published Friday, 13 January, 2012 by Jack McCall. Categories: New Inventory.

First of all, there is no V. The debut of the 991 does not mean the 997 is yesterday's news. Oh contraire, The 997 now becomes an instant classic. To discount the competitiveness and stature of the 997 is sacrilege. For its time, the 997 has represented the quintessential sports car. In no way, shape, or form should the 997 apologize for anything.
Essentially, the 997 and 991 are playing for the same team. The 991 is a first round draft choice that will guarantee the future success of the franchise. In some cases it may be necessary to…

Porsche Miles Like Dog Years

Published Thursday, 08 December, 2011 by Jack McCall. Categories: New Inventory.

There are different philosophies in Porsche ownership. Some say keep the miles down for resale's sake, while others think it's a sin not to drive and enjoy your Porsche. Who's right? Is there a one size fits all?
First let's examine the not to drive scenario. Among the pluses are higher resale, less maintenance, and preservation of a piece of art. However by not driving your Porsche, you are missing the benefits that eclipse mere transportation. By not driving it, the seals can dry (and leak), the tires can dry and flat spot and the battery…

Porsche 918 and Momentum Porsche

Published Thursday, 20 October, 2011 by Jack McCall. Categories: New Inventory.

As any article should answer the questions: who, what, when, where, and why; we will take a look at the Porsche 918 and attempt to explain these questions. One distinct advantage was our ability to speak with Michael Holscher, Technical Project Manager for the 918 Spyder and former Project Manager for the Carrera GT. It was our good fortune that Michael was able to visit Momentum Porsche and speak to some our clients.

Diane (Brown) Caplan, always looking for new marketing ideas, found out that Mr. Holscher would be visiting the U.S. She took advantage of the situation and…

Which is the Rearl Deal?

Published Tuesday, 03 May, 2011 by Jack McCall. Categories: New Inventory, News.

Porsche fans hold the 911 in reverence, and some even consider it the only real and true Porsche. These 911 devotees view both the Boxster and the Cayman as interlopers, cars not worthy of the marque. While the 911 is the cult car that has defined Porsche since the mid sixties, it is, in fact, preceded by the cars from which the Boxster and the Cayman were derived.
The Boxster was inspired by the 550…

Diminished Driving Skills- Atrophy

Published Tuesday, 28 December, 2010 by Jack McCall. Categories: New Inventory.

Driving a 1989 944 Turbo on challenging roads has been an exhilarating and rewarding experience. Through the years, I've noticed that first the 911s then Boxsters were able to keep up fairly easily. As a former DE instructor and test track driver, I thought I was a decent driver. Certainly not racing material, but I could get around a track quickly and smoothly.

Being aware of diminishing skills due to a lack of seat…
