PRESIDENT’S CORNER Ma r k

B a ker

Hello All:

H

appy March to all. I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. Our club held its annual Valentine’s Day event at the Arizona Culinary Institute in Scottsdale. It was a great event and posthumously honored its founder, Cynthia Giacchetti. See our club’s Photos section to view the photos of the event.

https://azpcaphotos.smugmug.com/AZPCA-Social-Events/Valentines-DateNight-2022/ We also held a Casino Night Charity event at Alpio’s at Troon. We had about 100 attend the event. It was a lot of fun and we raised over $6,400 to donate to St Vincent de Paul of Arizona. Thanks to all that attended, those who volunteered, and to all those that donated the prizes. Check out the photos in the club’s Photos section.

https://azpcaphotos.smugmug.com/AZPCA-Social-Events/Casino-Night-Charity-Event-Feb-12-2022/

We are planning to run a second charity event in the fall. It will include a Driving Tour and will end with some type of Wine/Social event. We will release the details as the planning unfolds.

At a meeting of all of the Presidents for all of the Regions, it was mentioned that somewhere in the near future Panorama magazine will go digital and will stop the paper version. PCA National is also working on a policy to permit drones at club events. I will keep you updated as I hear more details.

The Arizona Region is running the following upcoming events: · · · · · · ·

Feb 26 – DE – AMP Mar 2 – Monthly Meeting at Ancala Mar 5 – Driving Tour to Globe and Tonto National Monument Mar 12 – PnP – Soul Café Mar 19 – AutoX at AMP Mar 25,26,27 – DE – Track Day and Instructor School at INDE Mar 30 – Driving Tour to Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum

From the An gel a

EDITOR

Ma nent e

W

here do I start? Well, this is the 67th issue of Going Places that I have published! It’s hard to believe that I’ve been doing this for over five years now. We took the newsletter from print to digital format in 2018 and last year our region won 3rd Place, Class V in the National Newsletter Contest. It has been a great experience but it’s time for some fresh ideas. I’ve notified the board of my plan to step down as region newsletter editor-in-chief by December 1, 2022.

This will give us plenty of time to find and train my successor!

So are you interested? The Club is looking for a person or persons to volunteer to take over Going Places starting with the December 2022 issue, which is prepared in mid November. Please give it some thought. It’s a great way to participate in the region and get to know about our members. The basic newsletter template is all set up and I’m available to train who ever takes on the challenge. We use Adobe InDesign to publish the newsletter and Photoshop for pictures.

FYI - I had never used either of these software programs prior to taking on the newsletter. The previous newsletter editors, Denise and Chuck Brasile, trained me on using the software working together on preparing a few newsletters side by side. If you are considering it or have someone to suggest, drop me a note at: amanente42@gmail.com I’d be happy to answer your questions or approach anyone that you think would make a great editor-in-chief of Going Places!

Now back to the business at hand. This month the winner for the Writer’s Monthly Award for Going Places is Kenneth Mitchell for contributing “AZPCA Autocross Season Event #5.” Kenneth will receive a $30. credit on MotorsportReg, which is good for one year to use on any AZPCA activity. I appreciate the articles and pictures that members send me because without them there would be no newsletter. Keep in mind when taking pictures, that I use vertical orientation photos for the cover of Going Places. This month’s cover photo was taken by Dan Jacob. Thanks Dan for sharing.

There are a lot of drives, social events, member meetings, DEs and Autocross scheduled for this month. Be sure to check them out and go to our web calendar at: az.pca.org for all the latest information and links to register on MotorsportReg. Events fill up quickly, so don’t forget to sign up/register for the events.

I will be at some of the upcoming events and look forward to seeing you in person.

GIVING BACK

CHARITY FUNDS SET ASIDE BY THE AZPCA BOARD OF DIRECTORS

BY JIM BULTIMA, DIRECTOR AT LARGE

P

rior to the 2021 school year, Angela Manente, the editor of Going Places, suggested to the Arizona Region Board of Directors (AZPCA) that funds be made available for two Automotive Services students to attend Mesa Community College full time. The BOD approved the scholarships and as many of you have read, our clubs donation changed the lives of two young men.

Sensing a need to continue our club giving back to the community, Jim Bultema formed a committee to research the feasibility of continued charitably donations, especially as they relate to our club functions and automotive scholarships.

At the club’s last Board of Directors meeting, there was additional discussion, and the board unanimously passed the motion for $15,000 to be set aside for charitable donations and scholarships. Some felt this number is too small, but as discussed, it is a solid starting point for the club’s new budget line item for charitable donations.

Additionally, it was further discussed that the monies be spent only for club functions such as the upcoming Casino Night that is raising money for St. Vincent de Paul of Arizona or scholarships in the field of Automotive Services. All requests for charitable funds must be approved by the BOD. At the end of this year, the board will look at the results of our giving and make a decision for 2023.

The Board of Directors thank you, the members, for making this all possible.

If you have a suggestion or comment, contact Jim Bultema at jabultema@aol.com.

VALENTINE’S DATE NIGHT

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JAN MACKULAK, SOCIAL MEDIA CHAIR

W

e had another sell-out with 45 attendees, who enjoyed a wonderful time with old and new friends, in honor of Cynthia Giacchetti. Cynthia hosted this event every year for 6 years at the Arizona Culinary Institute. This event was a sell-out every year, involving great food and conversation, and Cynthia always made sure everyone always knew to dress up and to wear red apparel for Date Night. I have taken over the tradition of hosting this event to honor my dear friend.

Check out all the photos from the event at: azpcaphotos.smugmug.com/AZPCA-Social-Events/Valentines-Date-Night-2022/ I would also like to share some of the dinner’s welcome speech: “Thank you all for coming tonight to the 7th Annual Valentine’s Date Night. This tradition was started by a long-time friend and member of AZPCA, Cynthia Giacchetti. I also want to thank Chef Robert and Chef Janet for having us, along with all the students, who prepared our meal and are hosting us tonight.

I especially want to thank Michael, her husband, for sharing his wife with us and the club for so many years…

We met Cyn and Michael over 15 years ago, we did AXs and DEs with her, Porsches and Pancakes, Weekend Tours to California, Las Vegas, Alpine and Balloon Festivals, Sunday Drives; you name it, she attended these all. Cynthia also championed Ladies Drives around town, she was my Flight 26 registrar for 105 cars and 150 people at the banquet, and continued being registrar for years to come. She was Co-Social Chair with me for 5 years, doing Holiday Parties and Progressive Dinners and Anniversary Parties, and “just-cause” parties! When Cyn arrived, everyone knew her, and you knew the party could start.”

When Nicola, Cynthia’s daughter, heard we were having this event this year, she sent the following message: “I’m so glad you reached out and so happy you’re continuing the Valentine’s Date Night. Cyn would be so pleased! I looked at all the photos from the events. My Mom just had a way of making everything special and making everybody feel special.

She lived for that and everyone loved her. And if they didn’t, to heck with them! She loved spending time with you and Jer and I’m glad you were her friend. I miss her so much.”

And that’s the memory of Cynthia I wanted to leave with you all, whether you knew her or not. She was a special lady, a true Porsche Enthusiast, and volunteer and proponent for girls to be just as tough as guys on the track, and a person that never said no, if anyone in the club asked her to help. “Cheers to Cyn!” Next year’s Valentine’s Date Night is already on ACI’s books as the Thursday before Valentine’s Day (2/9/2023). Make sure you mark your calendar so you don’t miss out on this wonderful night.

BOOK REVIEWS FOR PORSCHEPHILES

BY BRUCE HERRINGTON, ORANGE COAST REGION

PORSCHE BY MODEL

T

he author rightly claims that this book “...talks in plain English and avoids corporate-speak.” Indeed it is a very captivating book, easy for even the non-Porschephile to read. The Porsche enthusiast will find a wealth of information about the genesis of their favorite model. All varieties of Porsche are covered in great, but very readable detail.

Chapter 1 Porsche Precursor starts with the usual coverage of a precocious Ferdinand working for his tinsmith father. But the Introduction has already spent some 12 pages on the author’s informal, personal rambling about the Austrian origins of the ‘German’ car, about English corruption of German words, and an overview of Porsche’s AG’s history and the many non-German individuals who played key roles in that story.

This book is organized by model series, not over all chronology.

Chapters 2 (356: Defining Moment) through 10 (Taycan), though written in a very readable conversational tone, includes a great deal of specific information.

There is also an unusually complete mention of individuals who were involved in the design and development of Porsche automobiles, especially those who worked in the early days of the 356. In addition to the narrative, there are tables showing timelines of development, and sidebars providing additional details about people or special events.

Especially for the later years, detailed specifications are presented in tables in the text. One table that is problematic is the one summarizing the year-range of the ‘series letters’, e.g. “G series cars”, which seems to conflict with the usage in the narrative.

This book provides a humanized, almost insider view of the development history of each model. The bulk of the book deals with the 901 through 997 to 992 evolution. Separate chapters cover the 356s, the 914s, the 4-cyl water pumpers | 22 |

(924-928GTS) and the Boxster-Cayman, etc.

There is even a separate chapter on the Carrera GT-918 cars. The Taycan gets 13 pages of coverage.

PORSCHE Model by Model is printed on semi-gloss paper to make the photographs sparkle, the text is crisp, clear and there are few pages without pictures, most of which are new, not old stand-bys that seem to show up in every book about Porsche. Despite the acknowledged support of Porsche archives and media sets, even the chapter devoted to the 356 has some new pictures.

This is a book about Porsches, so versions by RUF, Tech Art, Singer, FVD Bombacher, RPM Technik, etc. are mentioned but not covered. Interestingly an Elva-Porsche is discussed, but only the one produced as an exercise by Porsche AG, not the ones built by Elva Ltd. For a book about cars, there is a great deal of information about the people involved, as well as the engineering design of individual components, especially engine and suspension. This is not a book that many will read from cover to cover. But anyone with an interest in a particular Porsche era, or of a specific model series, will find a wealth of interesting, detailed and people oriented information in this book. Though race performance and successes are mentioned. the emphasis is on production vehicles for sale to the public. Clearly written by an enthusiast, this is a captivating read with many personal anecdotes from the author and about other Porsche involved people..

PORSCHE Model by Model is hardbound with 240, 8-1/2 x 11 inch semi-gloss pages and 250 photos, by Lance Cole, published 2021 by Crowood Press, UK. There are two pages of chapter by chapter footnotes, an extensive bibliography, and three pages of triple-column index. It should be available for $60.00 at your favorite bookseller or from QuartoKnows.com .

New Member Region Placement Process Change

D

uring the new member sign up process, we have removed the manual region selection on the website and will now only use zip code for automated region placement. During the sign up process, new members will see their assigned region name. We have found most new members do not know what a PCA Region is and having an open region field to select a region is confusing at best. If a new member wants to change regions after sign up, they can call or email the national office to change their region, just like the process for all other members. As an FYI, we did confirm that the system had been working properly. The issues we have had with region assignments had been due to new members requesting the wrong region. Removing the option to enter a region was the quickest way to improve this situation.

AZPCA AUTOCROSS SEASON EVENT #5 STORY BY KENNETH MITCHELL PHOTO BY JIM BULTEMA

A

ZPCA Region Autocross Season Event #5 was held at Arizona Motorsports Park (AMP) in Litchfield Park on Saturday, January 29, 2022. As usual, the event was sold out, and there was a wait list with several members waiting to get into the event. This is a perfect example why it is very important to sign-up early, so you don’t get wait-listed.

Carrera GTS Cabriolet and his best time was 57.758 seconds.

Guillermo drove his best time on his second run in the afternoon session. For a first-timer, Guillermo drove very well. Good Job Guillermo and hopefully, we’ll see you at future events.

AZPCA A-X #5, January 29, 2022 DRIVER

The AZPCA Region autocross events are very popular because of the fun-packed and well-designed courses, smooth-running and safe event operation, the gathering of various Porsche type cars and their drivers, camaraderie, and of course the Region provided lunch. There is no other event that has a fun-packed package, as an AZPCA Region Autocross Event.

The weather was a tad cool and breezy in the early morning hours but, it did warm up to a beautiful mild day to please 40 drivers to another fun event. The course elements consisted of a couple of slaloms, sweepers, a couple of box turns, a few gates, and of course, the showcase straightaway.

The course designer for this event is a mystery and for some reason, no one would admit to being the course designer. So, the AZPCA Region Autocross Ace Correspondence Reporting Team (ACRT) was asked to investigate this mystery, and they were unable to uncover any leads/evidence as to who this mysterious course designer is. It appears to be a well-kept secret.

The only information the ACRT was able to uncover was the fact this mysterious course designer may have been “STIG”.

Some racecar drivers think “STIG” may be a myth but, no one is able to confirm/deny this fact. You can Google “STIG” and determine yourself.

There was a change in the Region provided lunch for this event.

The Autocross Co-Chairs, Kim K. and Rick A., decided that it was time for a BBQ. The BBQ caterer provided pulled-pork sandwiches with the goodies and boy was it good.

During the lunch break, the drivers were raving about the lunch, and everyone kept asking who the course designer is. The drivers were also talking about the amazing lap times from the morning session.

There was one AZPCA Region member attending this event for his first time. Guillermo P.-V. drove his 2011 Porsche 911 | 24 |

Three Generations of race car drivers tearing up the track at the January Autocross. Right to left, Joel S., 74, his son Dave S., 50, and his son, Cameron S., 19. Great family of racers with Grandpa Joel getting it started years ago!

It is not unusual for the AZPCA Region events to have family members to enter and drive their Porsche cars. The family members usually consist of Father and Son and/or Daughter, Husband and Wives, or members in relationships.

On occasion, we are honored to have three generations of family members driving their Porsche cars. At this event, AZPCA Region member, Dave S. brought his son Cameron S. and his father, Joel S. to this event. Joel drove his 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S and his best time was 48.346 seconds. Cameron drove his grandfather’s Porsche and his best time was 46.918 seconds which bested his grandfather’s time. Also, Cameron’s time placed him with the 4th best time in Group “P”. Dave S. drove in Group “X” and his best time was 45.718 seconds.

Both Dave and Joel possess several National Championship Titles from another Sports Car Organization. Cameron is only 19 years of age and well on his way to follow his father’s and grandfather’s paths to a National Championship title. Good luck Cameron, you will be a National Champion soon.

The morning session consisted of four-runs each individually timed, and the afternoon session had three-runs. The best lap time for the Group “P” drivers was driven by Kim K., in his 2016 Porsche GT3 RS, with 44.134 seconds. Eric S., in his 2006 Porsche 911 S, was second with his best time of 45.603 seconds, and the third best time was driven by Robert T., in his 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo, with 46.551 seconds.

The AZPCA Region members driving in Group “X” had some amazing times. Ealing J. was on fire and ran a blazing run of

44.891 seconds. Dave S. ran his best lap in 45.718 seconds for second place, Ken M. turned in a 45.571 and Jonathan B. on Ken’s heels with a time of 46.573 seconds. It was noted that Jonathan, in a failed attempt of improving his car’s performance, placed a Porsche sticker on his car’s hood. (no protests were lodged against him, LOL).

The “Cone Kills” for this event were kept to a minimum with only a few drivers hitting one or two cones for the event.

Unfortunately, this was not the case for Scott O. and his season “clean run” streak came to an end as he was removed from the “clean run” list and placed on the “cone kill/dirty run” list. Scott killed five cones at this event, and this is the most “cone kills” that a driver has made in one event. There is no doubt that the five “cone kills” left a lot of cone marks on his car and he would be spending some time in the garage cleaning off those cone marks. Scott, get the wax out and start rubbin’, wax-on wax-off.

After the February sold out event, there are only three events left for the rest of the autocross season and all three events are now posted on the MSR program. Don’t hesitate to sign-up now so you don’t get waitlisted.

The next event is Saturday, March 19, 2022, and as of this writing, the entry list is only 15% full and that 85% will go quickly. You should not hesitate to sign-up. Go to your MSR account and signup today as either a driver, a Taste of Autocross, or as a volunteer.

And maybe, if luck will have it, we may be treated to another AZPCA Region provided BBQ lunch again but, no promises.

We hope that you come out and join us for another fun-packed event.

THE EURO-928-2002 MEETING- Part 2 Ludwigsburg, Germany STORY AND PHOTOS BY RICHARD ANDRADE

Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen

S

aturday started off with another 928 convoy, a drive from Ludwigsburg to Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. We were offered the use of the “Frauenparkplatz” (women’s parking lot). It was quite a thrill to see the Zuffenhausen facility once again surrounded by the throaty rumble of these V8s.

Porsche’s Zuffenhausen assembly line is not designed to accommodate large groups, so there was an alternative plan. We would see Porsche’s Exclusive Auto Sales, factory body repair and restoration shops, maintenance shop, have lunch in their factory cafeteria, and then tour the museum and Porsche AG owned dealership. As the pictures show, there were many treats in store for us.

Porsche is one of the few companies that will make a custom build well beyond just a selection of available options, external or interior colors. Porsche’s “Exclusive” auto sales group will paint your new Porsche any color you wish. Interior colors, types of leather, trim, seats, are all open to the customers. There were four exclusive autos for our inspection, a 996 Turbo, a Boxster S, a 996 Cabriolet and race trimmed 996.

An “Exclusive” 996 Turbo paint is Rolls Royce Green.

Exclusive interior options included full leather trim with burl wood interior accent.

Rolf Sprenger, Porsche’s chief of maintenance and service, is also responsible for spare-parts. He too is a big fan of the 928. He said, “Porsche will do everything to supply vital spare-parts - this will be sometimes very difficult and could take some time because the supplier companies, for example Bosch with engine control computers, charge a lot of money for low quantity runs; they could be expensive. In this case Porsche’s customer prices wouldn’t be much higher then the prices Porsche pays.”

Rolf Springer displayed a new 928 dash pod and leather covered dash.

Porsche had several Ersatz (replacement) motors displayed, one for each 928 generation. The 310 HP “S2” motor looked mighty inviting, or how about a brand new 928 GTS motor!

Porsche Museum No trip to Porsche is complete without a visit to the Porsche Museum. It is relatively small museum. A portion of Porsche’s collection is often on display in other parts of the world. Furthermore, the display is rotated so the odds are you won’t see the same cars on display from year to year. Another good reason to keep coming back to Zuffenhausen.

Porsche’s racing history is outstanding, as a matter of fact their record for winning was so significant that most sports racing organizations kept rewriting the rules to either exclude Porsche, as was the case with Indianapolis 500, or to enable other participants to have a chance at winning.

Saturday Afternoon We had a few spare hours following the Zuffenhausen activities prior to the banquet event to continue mingling. We never knew what treats were waiting for us. I heard that Tony Lapine had arrived and I found him in the parking area. He is a great guy and loves to speak with Porsche enthusiasts. Many of us had the pleasure of obtaining Tony’s autograph in our Project 928 books

THE EURO-928-2002 MEETING Continued from page 31 After chatting with Tony and getting his autographing, I found the Amicale 928 group displaying their 928 lithographs. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the 928, Samuel Fournis of the Amicale 928 club commissioned a work by Mr. François Bruère, a well known artist who paints historical vehicles. Amicale only had 300 lithographs printed, so if you haven’t ordered yours, don’t wait too long.

The Porsche 25th Anniversary Banquet Event Tobias Eichle, President of the Porsche 928 Club Germany, welcomed the attendees. The club has over 230 members, the second largest classic car club after the 356ers. Frank Wiesner, a local broadcast celebrity, was the Master of Ceremonies. Volker Spannagel, Porsche Club-Coordinator, was also an honored guest.

Porsche’s 928 project management was first overseen by Wolfhem Gorrisen from 1971 to late 1975. Peter Falk and Professor Helmut Flegl then assumed control of the testing phase. Engine development was headed by Prof. Klaus Schellmann. Production was managed

by Dietmar Schertzer.

The 928 project provided many successes for Porsche. It won the car of the year award upon its introduction at the March 1977 Geneva Salon, earning many glowing awards from international motor magazines. It achieved the number one sales for autos greater than 50,000 DM, thus beating out Mercedes from this top spot.

Tony Lapine sketches the 928 design as part of his discussions.

Wolfhelm Gorrisen, first project manager of the 928 from 1971 to 1975.

| 32 |

Wolfhelm Gorrisen opened the evening’s discussions and provided the background for the 928 project: -World requirements for active and passive security and safety grew from 60 to over 250 from 1960 to 1965 -Ferdinand Piëch pushed for a large engine - this was in the early going and emissions regulations were not yet very restrictive. At this time, the 917 race car was dominant. Thus there was a decision to move from 6 cylinders to a V8.

-World regulations conspired to force the development of revised 928 specifications practically overnight, leading Porsche to also believe that the 911 might not be exportable in the future. The US imposed a 5 mph front and rear crash test requirement.

Tony Lapine joined Porsche in mid-1969 after working seventeen years at General Motors. He had worked in the U.S. in Bill Mitchell’s design team on projects such as the Q-Corvette and the Monza GT and SS. After moving to Opel, he was discovered by Porsche and replaced Ferry Porsche’s son Ferdinand “Butzi” as the chief stylist following Ferry’s decision to remove family members from the company’s management structure. During our parking lot discussion, Tony admitted that he chose Porsche because he wanted to work for a company where he would be recognized and could make a difference, GM was just too big for him. He worked on the 914, desiring to develop the successor to the VW Beetle with a mid-motor layout. Mr. Leiding of VW was behind the 914. Then came the VW Golf so that opportunity ended. Tony remembered Ferry Porsche as a soft spoken man that never raised his voice, even during lively discussions.

Tony told me that the picture in Project 928 where Tony with Ferry and Dorothy Porsche were celebrating the first design presentation with Champagne brought back a very fond memory. The full scale 928 model was made of clay and only the wheels were metal. After the toast, Ferry took Tony’s Champagne glass, bent over and broke it over the model’s wheel to christen the design.

Tony gives total credit for the 928 to his design team, Wolfgang Möbius and others. Tony feels the stability of the 928 is far superior to other cars of its time, the placement of the engine and transaxle provide for a high polar moment of inertia, ideal for smooth high speed driving. He likened the 911 to an arrow being shot backwards .. feathers to the front and lead to the rear, with credit to Porsche’s designers for its ability to work that way at all. But, if pushed to far it would revert to nature’s intended ways.

Tony explained that a deviation of 15 degrees is the maximum deviation for laminar air flow and even the short spoiler of the 928S was enough for this purpose. The minimalist 928S spoiler wasn’t Wolfgang Möbius’ preference. He stated that the 928 S4’s spoiler is a much more effective and aesthetically pleasing design.

Tony explained to the banquet audience that he was given the directive; “It (the 928) should look like a Porsche and have the Porsche silhouette.” He stated that Porsche decided to develop a water-cooled car and a major task was to cool a 300 HP motor, but without a big mouth. This resulted in a lot of discussions between the styling and engine group. The door shape came from occupant survivability requirements in the U.S. Roof compression was to equal 1.5 times the weight of the car. He said that Porsches should have large wheels, and the 928 had the largest of the time. The front and rear sections of the 928 were beveled to give the appearance of less width. Porsche management was very trusting of their teams. He had an agreement that management wouldn’t see the 928 until the design was completed. With the 928S model, a spoiler was added to the rear of original design to keep laminar flow from the roof and over the rear hatch.

Frank Wiesner, moderator, brought up topics that brought chuckles to the audience and set-up a lively exchange between Tony and Wolfhelm. It seems that later in the project, several problems discovered. Tony Lapine remembered that management was critical of the car’s width, issuing a mandate “reduce it by 15 cm.” This lead to the solution to chamfer the corners to reduce the apparent width.

The 928 was wide, actually the initial design was too wide to fit the Waschstrasse (German car wash). Wolfhelm Gorrisen said “No, Tony was too pessimistic, it was only narrowed by 7 cm (nearly 3 inches).” The design team also forgot to accommodate the wide automatic transmission torque converter, so a quick redesign of the rear section and rear seats had to be made. Seat belts were added and that also required design changes.

THE EURO-928-2002 MEETING Continued from page 33 The developers of the engine, Paul Hensler and Prof. Klaus Schellmann spoke of their contributions to the development.

The two big challenges were to produce an engine a cylinder block only made of aluminum without working surfaces mated with another material, such as steel cylinder liners, and to utilize hydraulic valve lifters. Others had used the Reynolds 390 alloy and failed.

Porsche developed the flattest V8 engine of the time, 90 degrees, to support the low hood line. The California requirements of 4.5% carbon monoxide at idle required Porsche to develop measurement tools, they didn’t exist at that time. They worried that the 911 couldn’t meet the export requirements.

Porsche needed an emissions test area, and the only available space was Ferry Porsche’s home garage. He graciously gave away that space until facilities were later built at Weissach. The engineers created a banner for Ferry’s garage, calling the space the California Circus.

Porsche is proud of their ability to meet emissions, as a matter of fact today’s 911 Turbo is Porsche’s lowest emission engine.

The original 928 engine plans were for a 5.0-liter 270 HP motor. Then in October of 1973 the energy crisis occurred. It was a crisis for Porsche in 1974 as sales plummeted. Discussions were to reduce the engine displacement, marketing pushed for only 3.8-liters with only 180 HP. There was a big fight, because the engineers felt that acceleration would be much too low for an automobile to carry the Porsche name. The initial compromise was a 4.0-liter displacement that was projected to provide acceleration rate for zero to 100 kph in 8.5 sec. Later after the crisis eased, it was agreed to introduce the car with 4.5-liters and 240 HP. The 928’s weight target was 1370 kg (3020 lbs.). Dr. Ernst Fuhrmann employed "walkaround" management and remind the design team of weight goals during his tours of Weissach. They worked very hard to keep the weight down, for example 34 kg (75 lbs.) were reduced by using aluminum, which was 60% of the weight reduction. The 928’s final weight was 1450 kg (3197 lbs.) at introduction.

Dietmar Scherzer commented on quality - workers were responsible for repairing defects discovered. Porsche utilized a non-punitive management style. Production focus was towards the people, giving them the proper goals and keeping the proper spirit. The production rate was as high as fifteen cars per day, and by the end of the model life dropped to less than two per day. Rarely were two similar cars built per month, they were very individualized.

The 928 achieved some racing records, such as a world record 24 hours at 250 kph (155 mph) including fuel stops and tire changes.

To achieve this record the car averaged 285 kph (177 mph) when moving.

Herbert Linge, factory race driver and test driver, stated that Porsche never tried to use the 928 as a racer, the 911 was Porsche’s production auto focused to racing. However, the 928 was the “company car.” Their 928s were used drive to and from the track.

Drivers wouldn’t give them back! Also 928s were used for the security and fire cars. They could drive the Nürburgring in 8 minutes and reach 250 to 280 kph.

The world famous race driver Jackie Stewart and Hans Stuck owned 928s. Wolfhelm Gorrisen recalled Jackie Stewart proclaiming “I love it! The best high speed car in the world.”

It was a fantastic evening. Where else would you have the opportunity to learn about the 928 development from many members of the original team. I was extremely honored to have the chance to meet such a distinguished group engineers and managers.

Ludwigsburg Castle Residenzschloss Following breakfast, the Sunday morning activity was a walk down the Königsalle pedestrian walkway to the Ludwigsburg Castle where the group was treated to a guided tour.

Ludwigsburg Castle Ludwigsburg was founded in 1704 by Württemburg Duke Eberhard Ludwig as a summer and hunting residence. Following almost 30 years of construction, the Ludwigsburg Residenz Palace became one of the largest baroque palaces in Germany.

Ludwigsburg Castle Courtyard After the tour, Euro-928-2002 was completed. Participants began packing their GT cruisers for their drives home. We made many new friends and left Ludwigsburg with new appreciation for the technology that makes the 928!

VERRADO HERE WE COME! STORY AND PHOTOS BY ANNE ALLMAN

Y

ou wouldn’t have known that our Porsche Club was based in the Valley of the Sun on the morning of January 22nd.

With a drizzle and wind chill more reminiscent of Seattle than Phoenix, over a dozen Porsche aficionados congregated in North Phoenix to embark on a scenic drive to Verrado, a master planned community in the city of Buckeye, AZ. This drive brought over a dozen Porsches of various sizes and vintages together. There was a nice collection of Caymans, 911’s, a new Cayenne SUV, a 1976 914, and even a sexy Speedster.

There were 2 groups that weekend. Group I led by Debbie, with Cynthia as the group’s sweep. And Group II led by Carol, with Jane following up the rear. We hit the rain-streaked streets due west from the Scottsdale 101 Shopping Center on Mayo Blvd. with no fewer than 23 highway turns between us and our destination. You never realize just how big Phoenix and Maricopa County are until you start driving its many highways. One of the most memorable stretches of highway was E Sonoran Desert Drive which featured a gorgeous Sonoran desert landscape, with scores of saguaros, the Sonoran Preserve, and 36 miles of hiking trails. There were loads of weekend cyclists on the road and, while they might be getting in their cardio, they couldn’t keep up with us!

We were finally able to open it up a bit for 22 miles on AZ Loop 303, then again on W Sun Valley Parkway for 28 miles. Our little vintage 914 got up to a reasonable speed at one point with a little coaxing, as the newer Porsches breezed in and out of traffic without breaking a sweat.

About an hour later we arrived at our destination. Verrado is an 18-year-old beautiful “small town” community with a proper Main Street, 5 nice restaurants, 2 golf courses, hiking and biking trails, good schools, hundreds of new houses, and beautiful eucalyptus trees lining the main thoroughfare into the community. This drive had a personal association for us because we purchased a new home in Verrado in November. When visiting the construction progress, we usually take the AZ 202 Loop to the I-10 and call it a day. So this scenic route was a delightful new experience for us.

What a sight, as over a dozen Porsches pulled around the town square, past the golf course, and up the hill around the country club and scenic Vic restaurant. Bocce ball players interrupted their games, hugging the fence to take in the spectacle of Porsche’s many styles and colors. Verrado looked like Fall, with autumn leaves lining the pavement – in January no less! But the sun broke through the clouds at about 1:00 p.m.and it turned into a clear and gorgeous day! Unlike previous drives in which all the members dined together in the same restaurant, on this drive we broke up into small groups to try out the various restaurants around town. Our little group went up to The Vic, a restaurant perched on a hillside with a spectacular view of the valley and downtown, about 50 miles in the distance.

Thank you to the organizers of this drive. We traversed many roads we might not otherwise have ever seen!

TAKE THE PROUST QUESTIONNAIRE ON PORSCHE STORY BY DANIELLE BADLER

T

he what? Bear with me, here, because you might find the results illuminating. It’s a series of questions that purport to get to the heart of who you are and what you’re about.

One fine day, after a brutal electrical storm that sent shock waves pulsing through my computer, I discovered a copy of the survey, filled out by Porsche people, unsolicited, in my spam inbox. I thought about deleting the file and moving on. But then I realized I was on deadline for this column, so I decided to share the results.

I take no credit. I take no blame. It just is … who we are.

But first some background. Apparently, the questionnaire was used in the late 1800s as a parlor game, especially in France. The writer Marcel Proust apparently filled it out, several times in his lifetime.

And it thus became known informally as the Proust Questionnaire.

Today, actually every month, the magazine Vanity Fair queries a well-known public figure with the survey, and publishes the results on the magazine’s back page.

Here’s an aggregation of the questionnaire findings I found.

What’s your idea of perfect happiness? Mentioned most were lapping the Nurburgring. Zipping through Eau Rouge at Spa without lifting. Flat out on Rte. 50 in Nevada, the radar detector quiet.

Traipsing over the Futa Pass. Running the Mille Miglia Storica in a bathtub Speedster.

Which words or phrases do you most overuse? It’s pronounced PorschA! Like in Shakespeare. Runner-up, the engine’s in the back.

Where would you like to live? A tie between somewhere along the Mulsanne Straight, outside the entrance to Weissach and the village of Gmund.

What or who is the greatest love of your life? A Turbo S. No, a 918. No, a Carrera GT. No, a 959. No, a 962. No, a 917. No, a 904 …. There was no clear winner, which was not unexpected.

Which historical figure do you most identify with? The results point to a toss-up between Ferdinand Porsche and Ferry Porsche.

But Stefan Bellof, Jacky Ickx, Derek Bell and Hurley Heywood came close. A bit of aspiration here? No doubt.

What is your greatest extravagance? Here again, a mixed bag of results; deviated stitching, paint-to-sample, carbon-ceramic brakes, rear seat delete, switching to Cup tires for the street.

When and where are you the happiest? A tie! Between lapping the Nurburgring on a warm summer afternoon and traversing the Grand St. Bernard Pass, also on a warm summer afternoon.

What is your favorite occupation? Again a tie! Between Formula

1 “pilot” and sport prototype driver. Although someone wrote in “head of Porsche Design.”

Which talent would you most like to have? Here there was no debate. Clearly, it’s the ability to read road conditions, in the rain, at night, flat out, on the Mulsanne Straight, in the latest Porsche sports prototype.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? The consensus is to have a double-jointed right ankle, in order to better heel-and-toe downshift. Although this answer clearly skews older. Younger participants point to better finger dexterity on paddle shifters.

What is your greatest fear? A Jetta pulling into the fast lane on an unlimited section of the Autobahn.

What do you consider your greatest achievement? This is interesting – so many people wrote in being able to buy a new Porsche … then they crossed it out, writing instead that they bought used … that buying new was still an aspiration.

What is your most treasured possession? I have to eliminate those who said the car – that’s a given. People wrote in their “Kills Bugs Fast” poster, Fuchs wheel coffee table, 40-year member of PCA decal, stuff like that.

What do you most value in your friends? The results here are clear.

It’s the ability to keep up the pace, when on a run to somewhere like Fire Lake, or the Road to the Sun, or the Peak to Peak Highway.

You know who you are.

What is your most marked characteristic? No discussion, the winner is a well-developed right forearm. And it’s not from tennis, it’s from manual shifting. Although a well-developed seat of the pants came in second.

Who is your favorite hero? Ferdinand, Ferry, Butzi. They were obvious choices. But I like the write-in for Dan Gurney. May we never forget.

What is your greatest regret? I’d like to say missing a downshift in my 911. But that’s actually my greatest nightmare. No, most people said their greatest regret was selling their Speedster, or mint RS, or GT 3 or … whatever they call the one that got away.

If you were to die and come back as a person or thing, what do you think it would be? You think Ferdinand? Or Ferry? No, no, no. The clear winner was someone who could afford a new Turbo S, and not worry about the cost.

Hey, try it yourself. See how you compare. At minimum, you’ll find that spam folders are underrated.
