The 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS goes on sale in Germany in January and will make its U.S. debut in Spring of 2010 starting at $132,800. About $19,650 over previous GT3s, being that I’m buying this with Lotto money, doesn’t bother me much…

Based on the already primal GT3, the RS gets another 15 hp from the 3.8-liter flat-six for a total of 450, or more than 118 hp per liter.

Front and rear tracks are widened by 1.7 and 1.0 inches, respectively, with 19-inch wheels wrapped in sticky 245/35 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires up front and honking 325/30s in the rear.

Lighter, Faster, and Flashier

Other RS-specific bits include a titanium rear muffler and exhaust tips that together save 13 pounds—and will no doubt contribute to a spine-tingling scream from the flat-six as it nears its 8500-rpm redline. A lithium-ion battery will save an additional 20 pounds or so, according to Porsche. Altogether, the RS weighs just 3020 pounds, making it more than 50 pounds lighter than the GT3. Porsche says the result of the weight savings, additional power, and improved gearing will be a 0-to-60-mph blast of 3.8 seconds and 100 mph in 8.1 seconds. Top speed will be 193 mph.

Enigmatic because I missed the specific post that caused an uproar by NT beasts was locked before I had a chance to witness this Shortypop phenomena first ‘hand.’ She was banned and/or resigned off NT and was never to be heard of again.

Jay-Z & Oprah Audio: of the the reason(s) why they were in Marcy Projects yesterday like they were running for office or something. “Apparently, their meeting yesterday was for a profile in an upcoming issue of O magazine.”

Also in the news…

Jay’s collection, while vast and undoubtedly expensive, may have sacrificed quality for the sake of quantity however. An example of this is the sheer amount of bizarre Hirst pieces that the rapper owns, such as the controversial installation that features a rainbow colored unicorn performing fellatio on the embalmed remains of Truman Capote.

New York rapper claims he channeled Kanye’s style with his purposely pompous and pretentious choice of cover art.

New York – August 7, 2009

By David Sutherland for SarcasticDBag.Blogspot.com

Jay-Z confirmed that the image that hit the internet on Monday – a mound of white instruments with three red lines superimposed over them – is in fact the cover for his highly anticipated album The Blueprint 3. “It’s the album cover,” Jay said as he sipped a 1994 Chateau Margaux from a long stemmed tulip shaped wine glass before accurately spitting the liquid into a silver bucket held by a young intern.

The long awaited final chapter in Jay-Z’s critically acclaimed Blueprint trilogy has the entire music industry buzzing, but a relaxed Hov seemed more interested in the finer things in life as he spent the afternoon detailing his love of expensive wine, art, and Kanye West’s gaudy sense of style.

“You know, the divine experience of a fine Bordeaux is enhanced when you spit the wine instead of actually swallowing it, and this can turn even the most basic vintage into a simply transcendent experience,” Jay declared as he dabbed the leftover wine from his lips with what appeared to be one of the original copies of the Magna Carta.

When asked about the rather cryptic image of the pile of instruments featured on his album cover, Jay explained “These things are like the forgotten pieces in hip-hop. It’s still about music. These are the forgotten things about the art, which in my case is very expensive. I’m a collector of expensive art you know?”

Without missing a beat, the 39-year-old rapper got up from his chair and headed towards the east wing of his sprawling Tribeca loft where he stores his expansive collection of the work of controversial British artist Damien Hirst.

“I got into the art game after I read Kanye’s blog,” Jay claimed. “All those fancy pictures of modern art and cool furniture that Yeezy took so long to compile on his website really affected my soul.”

Jay’s collection, while vast and undoubtedly expensive, may have sacrificed quality for the sake of quantity however. An example of this is the sheer amount of bizarre Hirst pieces that the rapper owns, such as the controversial installation that features a rainbow colored unicorn performing fellatio on the embalmed remains of Truman Capote.

Jay bought the piece for $8 million (U.S.) and despite its offensive nature, he credits the installation as one of the inspirations for his rejuvenated rap career.

“This one right here is what it’s all about, and it really helped me get into the creative mind frame to record this new album,” Jay said proudly as he stroked the unicorn’s well muscled hide. “But let’s not forget that most of my creative inspiration comes from my foppish baby brother: Kanye West.”

It is commonly accepted music industry lore that Jay-Z is Kanye West’s mentor, and that the Brooklyn rapper has influenced and shaped every step of the Chicago born superstars meteoric rise to fame. But with the unveiling of the cover art for Blueprint 3, it looks like the dynamics of the partnership have shifted and now Jay has channeled Kanye’s relentless drive to be the most pompous and pretentious douchebag on earth.

Jay-Z is not shy to admit that West has changed his approach to making music, and he cites West’s controversial album 808’s and Heartbreak as a major inspiration for his latest work.

“I really have to credit Kanye’s latest record with giving me the creative strength to try and get away with making my album cover such an inflated, grandiose representation of my burgeoning pretension,” he said.

Kanye West, who is rumored to have produced a majority of the tracks on Blueprint 3 had nothing but praise for Jay’s choice of album art, stating that “When I saw the art for the new Blueprint I just thought, ‘wow Hov, you really upped the douchebag ante with this one homey’.”

Even West seemed suprised at Jay’s unabashed embrace of overblown extravagant modern art and had trouble grasping the overall meaning of the album cover. “I mean, damn Jay, no one reps pomposity like that! The blatant forced symbolism of death and progression, the trite use of contrasting colors and the predictable employ of perspective. Shit. Once again Hov beat me at my own game and that’s why he’s the greatest.”

Before any questions could be asked about the actual music on the eagerly awaited record, Jay-Z left the apartment and climbed into the back of a horse drawn carriage to go shopping for an Espresso machine in the East Village. Requests for a follow-up interview were denied by his representatives.

The Blueprint 3 will be available in stores and on iTunes on September 11th, courtesy of Atlantic Records.

This is fake news.

Jay’s tribute to Michael Jackson during his show in Chicago. He says a few words on the whole MJ ordeal and then goes into Can I Live.

I’m VERY tight I haven’t seen any of Jay’s shows since the American Gangster tour, which had that infamous Jadakiss/Green Lantern girl scout moment on stage. I see the he’s upgraded his routine since then, new playlists and all, also the inclusion of this tribute.
