1989 Porsche Carrera 911 on 2040-cars
Reedville, Virginia, United States
|
My ’89 Carrera is up for sale simply because I have no more room and have purchased another vehicle. I purchased this vehicle in 2010 from a broker in Connecticut who was representing a collector. Since my ownership, the vehicle has had annual oil service, state inspections, and has run flawlessly. Vehicle came with a considerable amount of documented service history which I will pass onto winning bidder. With the exception of a crack in the dashboard (photo attached) there are no dents, scrapes dings or any other defects with this vehicle. Vehicle does exhibit normal wear, and is being sold “as is”. I had planned to convert car to the “yellowbird” look and installed the rear bumper. I abandoned the project and never installed the front bumper. I have the front bumper and the original rear bumper with side skirts that I will include with the sale of vehicle. The Carfax report shows an accident in 2008. I investigated the incident, and discussed it with the mechanical shop that performed most of the repairs and service on the vehicle. They assured me it was a minor incident related to another vehicle sliding on ice at slow speed into the car. As this establishment enjoys a very good reputation, I have no doubt it was indeed as they have stated. Furthermore, when I had the vehicle repainted, the accident area in question was discovered, and it appeared to be no more than maybe 2x4 inches in area. Paint refresh was performed by a local custom shop known for their attention to detail and they enjoy an outstanding reputation. All trim was removed, car was wet sanded, and all visible jambs, bonnet and engine bay were painted. Look at the pictures and you can see the quality of their work. Upgrades to vehicle include the turbo tie-rods, turbo front valance, fog lights, stainless steel sport muffler, Pioneer AM/FM/CD, Polk speakers, Sirius and Ipod connection. Tires are Toyo Proxis with 80 percent tread life remaining, with the larger 9 x 16 wheels on the back. Car has a certificate of Authenticity from Porsche. This car is the real deal, no stories, no excuses. |

Porsche undecided on new 911 GT2 [w/poll]
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Fans of hardcore 911s had it pretty good with the last 997 generation. There was the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 and GT2 RS (pictured above). Each one was faster, more powerful and more expensive than the one below it, but what they all shared was what Porsche purists love most: rear engine, rear drive, a manual transmission and little else.
So far with the new 991, Porsche has only released a GT3 version. Sure, there have been other models, but they're all decidedly more luxurious and less performance-focused. And as impressive a machine as the new GT3 is, it has run the risk of alienating some of its most ardent fanatics with technological interference in the form of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel steering. So what those purists have really been looking forward to is a more hardcore GT3 RS or new GT2. But those may not be coming so quickly.
Speaking with 911 project chief August Achleitner, Car and Driver reports that a new GT2 is anything but a foregone conclusion. The reasons may be partially political, but could be technical in nature as well: with 560 horsepower driving all four wheels, the new 911 Turbo S runs the 0-60 in less than three seconds. Give it more power but less traction, as Porsche has done with past GT2s, and you may not end up seeing an actual improvement in performance. A GT2 that's slower than the Turbo S would be difficult to explain.
Porsche reveals new LMP1 racecar testing ahead of 2014 Le Mans debut
Wed, 12 Jun 2013Getting ready for its triumphant return to the premier racing class of Le Mans, Porsche has released a handful of images showing its new LMP1 racecar testing. Porsche hasn't run a car in the Prototype class at 24 Hours of Le Mans since 2009, but this racecar - still veiled in secrecy - will be expected to battle against the Audi and Toyota LMP1 Prototypes to help bring Porsche its 17th Le Mans victory.
Aside from knowing that it will use a hybrid powertrain to meet LMP1 rules, there are no other details about the car... including its name or potential sponsors. In the meantime, Porsche has set up a microsite, called Mission 2014, to share its extensive history racing at Le Mans. Also, be sure to check out some of the past videos Porsche has released as it gears up for its reborn LMP1 program.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
