1993 Porsche 911

This is an outstanding 1993 911 with many extras and updates.  It has been diligently serviced and maintained throughout its life, and recently had a complete maintenance overhaul as detailed below.  Not only have many major aspects of the car been recently refreshed, its look is unique on the road with a lower and wider wheelbase/suspension than a stock 911, resulting in a beautiful profile.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • ENGINE – The engine is in outstanding condition.  Recently, it had a complete maintenance review (see below for extras).
  • UPGRADED SUSPENSION – The car has H&R Performance Springs (which lowers the car’s profile by about 1.5 inches with improved handling).
  • UPGRADED WHEEL PROFILE – The car has H&R Wheel Spacers (which widens the wheel stance and improves performance with lower roll center and increased lateral stability).
  • UPGRADE PERFORMANCE – The engine has an Enhanced Engine Chip (along with a cut open airbox cover modification), adding 17hp above stock.
  • EXTERIOR - The exterior is in very clean condition with a few very minor signs of exterior wear.  The paint is ORIGINAL except that both bumpers were expertly restored this summer. This was to only eliminate some normal bumper peeling.
  • INTERIOR – The interior is in outstanding condition.  The leather seats were restored (including the replacement of reupholstered leather).  Additionally, the radio is a brand new Alpine CDE-143BT.
  • FRONT TRUNK – The interior front trunk is clean.  Note that the original tool kit is missing.

It has been my weekend car, but it is no longer practical to garage it in NYC so sadly I need to sell it.  Currently, it is being garaged in the Ann Arbor area.  It runs and drives perfectly, accelerates like new, and handles straight, true and tight.  This car is ready to be a daily driver or a weekend toy.   

It is hard to find a better 964, especially one which has so many recent service and maintenance updates including the all-important investment I've made to address the common problem of oil leaks that will be found on Porsches of this era.

I am happy to answer any and all questions.  If you live in the Ann Arbor area, please arrange for a test drive.  We also plan to post additional photos.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.

2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper

Mon, Jul 22 2019

The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.
