This is a beautiful and rare 1982 Porsche 911 SC, "sunroof delete" car, in amazing original mechanical and cosmetic
condition. With only 3 (all local) owners, as well as records and documents since new, this car runs, shifts,
drives, stops, and does everything it should, in an excellent manner. Zero rust, and very little wear, to indicate
it's 68K (only 2,000 per year!) of gentle, "seasonal" use.
A few highlights:
* 68,000 original documented miles
* Official Certificate of Authenticity ("C.O.A.") from Porsche
* Rare sunroof delete car (sunroofs were optional, but appeared on the majority of U.S. cars)
* Freshly serviced & runs great
The car was originally 'rosewood metallic', but was near perfectly resprayed (a much more attractive) Guards Red,
in an excellent (glass & seals all out, etc), no-expense spared fashion, and there is no hint of a color change
anywhere on the car. All of the requisite 911 SC updates have been made, including pressure fed "Carrera" chain
tensioners, and air-box pop off valve. While never driven daily, and obviously not accumulating many miles, the car
has never sat for extended periods of time, and has always been regularly exercised. It has also just been freshly
serviced and gone through, is in excellent mechanical shape, and is ready for a long tour, or spirited drive. The
car has excellent oil pressure, and a nice steady and consistent idle. While this car has never been tracked, the
sunroof delete option, saves weight, and adds to the already great handling, making this SC a great auto-cross
candidate, if one desires. The original Fuchs are in excellent condition, and the tires show good tread. It has
been fitted with a more modern cd player and speakers.
While certainly not a perfect concourse car (what fun is that?), this is an excellent example of a wonderful
driver, 911 SC. There is slight patina to the original steering wheel leather, and while the original dash has no
cracks, the leather has shrunk in a few small spots (we're being picky now), but none of this affects drivability
or usability, and wouldn't even be noticeable to the average observer. The seats, floors, etc are all in very nice
condition, with little to no wear, as one would expect, with a vehicle that has had constant care, love and
maintenance.
Considered by many marque enthusiasts, as the quintessential air-cooled 911, the SC is rapidly getting the respect
of the collector market, and is sure to quickly enjoy the appreciation garnered by the early 911 and 356 cars.
Invest in one of the last, original low mileage cars, at a reasonable price, before it's too late!

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.
2015 Porsche Cayenne GTS proves performance is relative
Thu, Nov 20 2014The Turbo may be the most powerful model in the Cayenne range, but the GTS is arguably the enthusiast's choice. (In so far as a 4,500-pound crossover can be considered an "enthusiast's choice," anyway.) And now, after refreshing the rest of the Cayenne lineup, Porsche has revealed the new Cayenne GTS, alongside its new 911 GTS stablemate, here at the LA Auto Show. Like the new Cayenne S, the new GTS drops the previous version's atmospheric V8 for a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6, but ups the output to 440 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque to propel Zuffenhausen's portliest to 62 in a scant 5.2 seconds. Alongside the power upgrade, the GTS gets a lowered air suspension and sportier exhaust, the beefier brakes from the Cayenne Turbo and an upgraded aero kit to help with the whole barn-door-profile thing. Just don't expect all that extra kit and the prestige of a Porsche badge on your crossover to come cheap, with prices starting at $95,500 (plus $995 destination).
Jay Leno puts carbon fiber wheels to the test on a Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Thu, 04 Sep 2014Jay Leno's Garage usually focuses on looking at cars new and old, speaking to their owners and then Jay taking a drive to see what he thinks. However, Leno throws his usual shtick to the curb this week to do a full product test of the carbon fiber wheels from a company called Carbon Revolution. If you're not interested in hearing about wheels for 18 minutes, don't worry. They get mounted on a Porsche and are tested back-to-back with stock wheels, and Leno takes the 911 for a track test, too.
While carbon-fiber wheels aren't exactly a new idea, Carbon Revolution's goal is to create a lightweight, one-piece product that can be mass produced. The company even claims that it already has a deal with an OEM automaker to offer them on a vehicle in a few years. The key to the technology is that it doesn't need an expensive autoclave to be made.
In the meantime, the company's carbon fiber wheels are available as an aftermarket option for about $15,000 a set, according to the video. They weigh in at about 15.5 pounds each and offer OEM-levels of stiffness, so they could cut some unsprung mass off of a performance car. Watch here as Jay and his mechanic Bernard lap Willow Springs and give their feedback about what they think of this cutting-edge technology.
