Default Websites for an Porsche enthusiast ?

What is the best websites for an Porsche enthusiast to follow? Meaning I would like to follow a blog or a news website about Porsche. A Porsche Fan website of some kind or reviews on you tube.

I know websites that fit this category for BMW but I don't know any good ones besides rennlist.com for Porsche.

I am already subscribed to excellence Magazine, and Christophorus magazine.

What websites do you guys follow to say current with Porsche news.

Some for BMW are
bimmerpost.com
bmwblog.com
bimmerfile.com

Thank You

I've been on Rennlist since late 2000 (IIRC). This site is probably the best for 911's, both air cooled and water cooled.

Renntech.org is good and has some very knowledgable posters, but has limited traffic...

+1 renntech for DIY... I was a former Bimmer enthusius as well. Did my fair share of Porsche site searches when I switched to the 911 but found RL and RT to have all I need and then some. BTW, welcome to RL.

Nice...I had a 335i tricked out and bumped up on the HP's. Had an M3 and a 540 too. Great cars. The 911 is my favorite so far. Can't imagine owning anything else ever again. I'd like to pay to get another in 4-years and start a collection. Sometimes I go out to the garage and just look at it. Man...I love Porsche's.....

Know what you mean bro. Loved the M3 and 540. Glad I had them when I did. They certainly helped me along the way to appreciated the 997 I'm driving now. I just snuck in a peek at her in the garage as well.

I hear ya, I had thought BMW's were amazing driving machines. My Porsche experience is waaay better. I am with you on the collection front, trying to plan on buying a house that has a proper garage to house the future collection.

Wish I could go look at mine, however I am in a condo, so not as easy to do. So I find myself loading pics I took over the weekend.

Well, much as I love Porsches, (i'm on my 8th one, 30 + year Club member) I still love my BMW's
(the X5 is probably number 15, 35 year club member) We took a drive from home, Ft Lauderdale to Orlando, Disney, in the 997 last week having done the same in the X5 a few times and....On a trip like that I prefer the X5
Quieter, more comfortable, easier to drive, same gas mileage....SPARE TIRE and plenty of room to bring anything you might need.
Sorry...YMMV
