The various versions of the Porsche 911 proved to be a serious competitor in rallies. The Porsche works team was occasionally present in rallying from the 1960s to late 1970s. Although the Porsche factory team withdrew from the WRC with no wins to their name, the best private 911s were often close to other brands’ works cars. Jean-Pierre Nicolas managed to win the 1978 Monte Carlo Rally with a private 911 SC, and Porsche’s second, and so far last, Henri Toivonen took his Prodrive-built and Rothmans-sponsored 911 SC RS to second place. In 1984 and 1986, the Porsche factory team won the Paris Dakar Rally, also using the 911 derived Porsche 959 Group B supercar.

For many car enthusiasts, the age old answer to a project build is, that “It will never be finished as it is always on-going”.  Nicholas Ashby 2006 Nissan 350z has more mods then you can possibly imagine. But as they say, it’s all in the details. His goal for the build is to eventually build a full fledge racecar using the stock platform.  As the story  goes Nicholas started the project out with some upgrades to the 3.5L VQ platform as it came by way of a Stillen stage2 intercooled Supercharger. The power mod only left Nicholas with a hefty itch for more power, as the supercharger wasn’t satisfying his need to go fast.  Out came the engine and in came a tuned VQ 4.2 L high performance engine. more »
