Up for bid is a 1994 Porsche 968 coupe. The car has 151,490 miles, but the engine only has about 130,000. The engine
is out of a 1994 968 Cabriolet. The engine was replaced because someone installed the flex dampener incorrectly and it
pushed forward on the crankshaft and wore the crankshaft thrust bearing.
The hatch was just rebuilt using professional Sika System components. We removed the hatch glass from the frame, and
completely removed all the old glue and primer. The new primer was airbrushed on, and the hatch glass reglued into the
frame. It looks amazing, and should not separate like the stock primer. The Sika System uses an activator which allows
the primer to bond into the glass, not just stick to the surface. The hatch is car color, which was an option, not the
normal Rally (satin) black. A new left side spoiler trim piece was installed when we restored the hatch.
The car runs and drives great. Everything works perfectly except for the cruise control, which is typical for the 944
and 968 models. If you engage the cruise control, the car wants to go 70MPH, and won't reset to a different speed. The
A/C is R134A and blows ice cold. The car has a factory alarm which works perfectly. The hatch and hood shocks all work
great.
The car has an Autothority performance chip installed, and believe me, you can feel the difference from the stock
chip.
I have installed loads of new components on this car in the 6 years that I have owned it. Here's a rundown of what I
can remember off the top of my head. Porsche factory motor mounts, Koni Sport adjustable shocks, left side hatch
spoiler, rear taillight assembly, one of the foglights, rain gutter trim, drivers door handle, door handle gaskets on
both sides, ground effect trim on both sides, hatch seal, inner sunroof seal, antenna mast, washer filler seal, outer
window scrapers, headlight pods, voltmeter/oil pressure gauge, all four dash trim pieces, rear bumper pads, cassette
tray hinge, all horn switch components, radiator, various cooling hoses, and metal glove box sliders to replace the
crappy factory plastic units. I added the front and rear engine bay covers which they didn't install on all the 94
cars.
The car has leather seats, leather steering wheel, leather emergency brake handle, leather shift knob, and a leather
cassette tray lid.The driver's seat is power adjustable. The interior is in great shape for a 94. There was a small
split in the driver's side seat bolster, but I stitched it up to prevent it from splitting any more. The carpet is in
great shape, and has always been covered with factory floormats (I took them out for the pictures). The rear cargo
cover is perfect with no rips or tears. The dash has the typical cracking from the sun.
The paint on this car is not perfect. It has been my daily driver 50% of the time for the last 6 years (I drive my 968
cabriolet in the summer). There are rock chips, a scrape in the front bumper cover, there are a few small dings in the
fenders, and the paint has been buffed through the top layer in a few small spots. With a coat of paint and a little
interior work, this car would be perfect. I want to give an accurate representation of the car. I don't want the buyer
to be disappointed. If you have any questions, please ask me before you place a bid. The tires are old and worn, and
should be replaced. The timing and balance shaft belts have about 20K on them.
This car is a lot of fun to drive. It handles amazingly, and will not disappoint you in any hard cornering situation.
The tiptronic transmission is great in rush hour, and when you kick it down to second on the freeway, it really gets
up and jumps. When you switch it over to manual shift mode, it is extremely responsive. I went from driving my 5 speed
944 to this car, and I did not miss wearing out my left leg running that clutch all the time.

Ferrari return to Le Mans looking more likely?
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Statements made by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo may indicate that the Italian brand could return to a form of racing it's been absent from for 40 years - prototype racing. That's right, LMP1 could see a factory Ferrari team for the first time since 1973, if a report from ESPN F1 is to be believed.
"We have won with the 458 GTE, but I also quite like the idea of racing at Le Mans in the highest category: who knows, maybe one day we can return and win, say thanks and come home," Montezemolo said. "Maybe we should give it some consideration..."
These seemingly idle, off-hand comments might not hold much water, were rumors about Ferrari's return to prototype racing not swirling as recently as August. There's also the fact that the upcoming, 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 being used for Formula One complies with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's own LMP1 regulations, according to ESPN. Finally, Ferrari returning to Le Mans might also explain this video of a camouflaged Ferrari LaFerrari testing a new turbocharged engine, which we showed you a few weeks back. There's a fair chance that what we're actually seeing in that video are the early stages of a new Ferrari prototype testing.
2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]
Thu, 22 May 2014You know the sound: the startling pop-brraaap-pop-pop shotgun fire of unspent flammables coursing through exhaust pipes that usually signals a raw, naughty powerplant beneath the hood.
But when you're nestled in the Porsche Boxster GTS' snug seats, it's not a crackling small block V8 or a high-strung Italian flat crank making the devilish racket, but rather the new king of the Boxster/Cayman lineup, a 3.4-liter flat-six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Within the emotional vacuum of a spec sheet, the Boxster GTS' pumped-up grunt seems pretty mild, with a gain of only 15 hp and 7 lb-ft, respectively. But the reworked acoustical experience goes a long way towards suggesting the GTS has a trace of racing blood in its veins, and might even be missing its catalytic converters. In addition to the sonorous, centrally positioned tailpipes, the cabin also fills with lovely mechanical strains thanks to the "Sound Symposer" acoustical amplifier that's trickled down into the Boxster/Cayman lineup from the 911 for the first time. Boxster S, we hardly knew ya.
2015 Porsche Macan S
Thu, 31 Jul 2014I'd be willing to bet that 99 percent of all Porsche Macan owners will never take their vehicle on a track or see any more off-roading than a dirt path to a summer cottage, yet I maintain that there is no better venue to explore the absolute outer limits of the automaker's newest small family transport than on a racing circuit and an off-road course. It's testing at each extreme of the vehicle's operating envelope, with both challenges requiring very different capabilities. With that in mind, and looking forward to dirty floor mats and corded tires, I jumped at the opportunity from Porsche to wring out its new Macan S at Willow Springs International Raceway, located in Southern California's high desert.
The range-topping Macan Turbo (base price $72,300 plus $995 destination), with its 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 gets most of the glory these days. But many, including myself, would argue that its slightly less powerful sibling, the Macan S, is actually the pick of the new litter. Despite having 60 fewer horses under the hood and giving up six-tenths of a second in the sprint to 60 miles per hour, it costs a massive $22,400 less - money better spent on equipment that improves the crossover's ride comfort and capability, or perhaps a well-used Boxster for weekends.
Despite a reasonably attractive starting price of $49,900 (plus destination), very few Porsche buyers will leave the showroom with a base model. My Dark Blue Metallic Macan S tester was equipped with a slew of mechanical upgrades, including air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), Sport Chrono Package and 21-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels. A Premium Package and a few other miscellaneous options bloated its price to $69,870. That's a very steep price for the premium compact crossover segment, but it's still less than a base Macan Turbo.
