The Porsche Guys Blog

Even many Porsche owners have been hit hard by the current economic state of affairs. Because of this many of us are looking for ways to stretch our dollars. More and more Porsche owners are doing as much maintenance on their cars as possible.

If you are doing any maintenance on your Porsche or are Restoring a classic Porsche, you are going to need parts. Well, we at the Porsche Guys are proud to introduce our Porsche Parts Finder. The Porsche Parts Finder will find the lowest prices for Porsche parts on the web.

To use the Porsche Parts Finder just select the year of your Porsche, the model, the part that you want to find and optionally you can enter a minimum and maximum dollar amount to get better search results (so, if you search for an engine and you keep getting $1 items, you can use the minimum dollar amount to find engines that are over $2000).

You can find the link to the Porsche Parts Finder at the top of this page or you can click here.

Please note that the data used for the Porsche Parts Finder is based on Google data and that the companies selling the parts have no affiliation to the Porsche Guys.

If Porsche had never made the 911 (a scary thought, I know) what production car would be the greatest Porsche ever made?

The obvious choices would be the 959 or Carrera GT for their incredible performance. But, if we take away these super cars as they have very limited sales what would be the greatest?

The Porsche 356 is a good choice as it was the first Porsche and the later models had very good performance for their time. The 912 had the good looks of the 911, but not that incredible performance. The 914 had good handling and good performance, but the styling was controversial.

Of the front engine cars the 928 was supposed to replace the 911 (at least this is what most history books claim, although some claim that the 944 turbo was meant to replace it), but it’s extreme high price held back sales and it lacked a racing pedigree. The Porsche 924 had great handling, but not the best performance (performance was better in the turbo model and the Carrera GT had great performance for the time). The 944 had great handling and good performance (outstanding performance in the S2 and turbo models) and the 968 was even better (plus both had great looks).

More recently the Boxster and Cayman have been added to the lineup. Both cars combine great handling and performance (especially the S models) with incredible looks. The Cayman in particularly is one of the best cars that Porsche has ever made (even as an entry level car).

So, what car would be the greatest Porsche had the 911 never been made? Any car that the company has made could have been the greatest, but I think that the 356, 944, 968, Boxster or Cayman would be the most likely candidates.

So, what car do you think would be the greatest if there was no 911?
