Battle of the 997s on Head 2 Head

Episode 3 of TorqueTv's Head2Head puts up cars that both got their start in Zuffenhausen, Germany. It's a classic case of sibling rivalry as a 997 Porsche TWIN Turbo and a Porsche 997 GT3 come to Willow Springs to battle it out. Both cars have been tuned by famed GMG Racing in Orange County, California.

See which Porsche wins as the Crazy Swede, Samuel Hubinette pushes both cars to their limits in this week's episode.

Still Need more Porsche Pics?

I guess today can just be Porsche day, more great photos keep rolling in so I'll feature them as well. Here are some from one of our newest members, Porscheboy. Great Camera work, love the low angle shots of the GT3 especially.

Have you been watching Garage 419?

Brought to you by Garage419.

I want to see more of this! Start with a Cayman, pop in the 3.8 that Stuttgart should have put there in the first place, you know its going to be a beast. Then the 997...the exhaust system on that 911 GT3 RS is pure art. This is the type of video I love seeing on StreetFire, and hope more shops get with the program and invite shops in to tour their facilities. Thank you Farnbacher Loles for giving a tour! Looking forward to the next episode when Garage419 gets behind the wheel!

Top Crashes of 2007

As 2007 slowly winds down, we get all those sappy VH1 specials about what made 2007 so great. For us it was the great videos, and we all know the most popular category is our "Boom!" Category with all the crash footage. In our ongoing evil plot to steal market share for TV, we decided to do our own awards pick for the year. So here are our choices for the Top Crashes of 2007.

#5.) Porsche GT3 wrecks while running from the cops

Porsche GT3 crash. Dutch police chase.

Props because of the obvious expense of the car combined with bowling ball sack it takes to continuing to run when your GT3 is throwing the hood over the windscreen.

#4.) TV reporter catches it on video!

Two cars collide right behind a TV reporter as he talks about the dangerous intersection. Not a very good place to stand.

This one gets good 30 seconds in when some local residents decide to demonstrate for the camera.


#3.) Saudi style Drifting gone wrong

some accidents while drifting in Saudi ;(

The Saudi's take drifting to an extreme form, but by raising the stakes they get some pretty spectacular crashes. This compilation dropped my jaw, doesn't get crazier than this.

#2.) Clint Bowyer upside down and on fire finishing 18th

Daytona 500 NASCAR race and Top Gear bagging on Americans,... why do they hate us so much? Because Jeremy Clarkson is too proud to admit how cool this is. Only in an America are race cars finishing upside down and on Fire ;-)

Best crashes of 2007 wouldn't be complete without one NASCAR crash, I mean seriously, thats why we all watch, right? This one takes honors as being especially cool, because Clint Bowyer finished the Daytona 500 upside down and on fire. The only way he could have been more manly is if his car was sponsored by Jack Daniels...wait a sec, it was.

#1.)WRC Rally Crash

Rally Accident - Underwater

This one is terrifying. I don't know if it's the rush of water flowing in, or the panic breathing from the driver, but you simply cannot watch this video without getting a cold chill down your spine.

Crashes are fun to watch when no one gets hurt, but that's not always the case. Please drive safe and keep the accidents online and off the streets in 2008!
