Up for sale is my 1999 911 Carrera Coupe.  I bought it back in November and have been using it as my daily driver since then.  Due to a recent job change, I have a new daily driver so unfortunately that leaves the 911 as the odd man out as my wife and I simply don’t have the space for four cars.  I’ve been completely bitten by the 911 bug though, so in due time I should be able to sell my weekend car and re-enter the 911 fold with something more dedicated to driver education / track events.

It’s a clean, no-stories car that has been stone cold reliable for me for the past five months.  It hasn’t missed a single beat that entire time – fires right up in the morning, everything works just as designed and has genuinely been a joy to own.  It’s without a doubt the best daily driver I’ve ever had – great heat, ice-cold A/C, and excellent steering, brake and clutch feedback.

The car has been in the northeast its entire life.  I’m the fourth owner, and I think the second owner is the gent who installed most of the carbon fiber pieces (which are a mix of OEM and aftermarket) as well as having the rebuilt transmission and LN IMS bearing installed.

I used to work as a mechanic at an exotic car dealership back when I was in my college days.  So, I still do all of my own work.  There really hasn’t been much on the 911:

11/2013 – Changed the oil using 0w-40 Mobil 1 along with an OEM filter and crush washer
12/2013 – Replaced the CD holder with an OEM upper storage shelf (cubby)
        – Installed an Ultimate Cupholder (which comes with the car)
        – Replaced the wheel locks with OEM lug bolts
        – Replaced the windshield wipers – Bosch Icon 22A/B
        – Replaced all the rear light bulbs – tail, brake, reverse and turn signals
02/2014 – Installed a Blendmount Valentine 1 radar detector (mount comes with the car)
04/2014 – Changed the oil using 0w-40 Mobil 1 along with an OEM filter and crush washer
        – Replaced the serpentine belt

Thanks for your time!

Evo sets up duel of Porsche 911s

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

What's better, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? That question has occupied auto enthusiasts for years, and so far, we've not really had a solid answer one way or the other. Evo has opted to take another whack at this tough question by pairing a pair of Porsche 911s against each other for a track battle.
In one corner, we have the two-wheel-drive 911 Carrera S, complete with the lickity-split PDK transmission, a sports suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. In the other corner, it's the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4S in a much mellower spec, with a seven-speed manual, as well as standard brakes and suspension. While the results seem like they'd be a foregone conclusion, some very British weather is there to act as the great equalizer.
We've got the full video down below. Have a look, and let us know if you agree with Evo's results.

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
