Concept of the blog

I figured I should probably take a moment to let everyone know what the concept of this blog was. Every week in my free time I usually scroll through eBay Motors and check out the recently added exotic and rare cars. One day I realized that I probably have more knowledge than I should about these cars and maybe I could share it. Additionally I wanted to start a blog. I figured the best thing to write about is something I love, thus I chose cars. So essentially I am going to be writing and giving more details about the rare cars on eBay, focusing on both exotic and unique (one-off’s) cars. I hope you find it interesting and maybe helpful if you are in the market for one of these cars. 

Porsche Gt2 RS

The Porsche Gt2 RS. Another excellent example of speed, engineering and beauty. At the most basic level it is the definition of a drivers car. 6-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive. The RS uses the typical flat-6 of  all Porsches, but it also has two variable geometry turbos. The naturally aspirated 3.6 liter engine produces a solid 345 hp and 288 lb-ft of torque. Then when you slap on the two turbos it becomes an absolute animal. That same 3.6 liter engine, turboed produced 620 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. That makes it the most powerful road-going Porsche ever built. Even more powerful than the hailed Porsche Carrera GT with a V10. The Gt2 RS has a power to weight ratio of 4.87 lbs per hp. The special battery alone saves 22lbs on the car. Add up all the carbon fiber and other weight savings bits and you get the extremely light weight Gt2 RS. That incredible ratio is what helps it launch to 60 mph in a blistering 3.4 seconds. Now that may seem slow in this new world, where a Bugatti Veyron goes 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, Porsche Turbo S, 2.8 sec and the GT-R 0-60 in 2.9 seconds. However, there is one thing to keep in mind, all the above cars have all-wheel drive. That allows them double the grip when they launch. This means that they are faster to 60, but not necessarily around a track, and that is the Gt2’s bread and butter. Being a rear wheel, 6 speed car this is built for the track. Everything about this car is related to the track. That yellow line you see on the steering wheel? That’s so when your flying around corners at breakneck speed you can find dead center on the wheel for correct corner exit. This car is awesome on and off the track and would make any commute (assuming you don’t have back problems) exciting, you won’t even need coffee in the morning, just a healthy dose of boost.
