This site is about great or interesting cars. Some are great to look at and some are great to drive. Thankfully, not all great and interesting cars are rare or expensive. When you drill down to hi-performance sports cars of the 80s (or any decade), you’ll see that a Porsche is somewhere on the top of many enthusiasts’ list. Why? They are extremely well-built, beautifully designed, make great sounds, and are fast and reliable. They are Porsches. Read More
