2001 Porsche 911 / 996 supercharged and heavily modified towards a GT2..with flair! Car is still periodically being
driven, so mileage will go up a little. I am selling this fun weekend car, along with my daily driver BMW M3, as I
just started a new company, so this car gets to go to a new owner!
I bought this car from a guy that had this vision of the best of Porsche you could make (reasonably!). He put into
many of his own design concepts but to be sure, it was built for a unique styling and pure driving performance
-- and not to be a show queen by any means. To him, a Porsche is meant to be driven and this is a perfect
example of a car that you love to drive. Even still, you will get a TON of comments, cheers, etc while
driving
.driving by them J
Here is the LONG list of options and modifications done to the car:
Original carbon fiber optioned car -- steering wheel and other trim inside plus Factory Sport seats with
Porsche crest in the headrest
VF Engineering Supercharger kit with intercooler, sensors, DME, injectors, etc and adds 7PSI of boost
Full stainless steel exhaust including sport cats and mufflers
IPD Intake Plenum - IPD 96200
Stage 2 performance clutch and Lightweight flywheel
993 RS rubber mounts / WEVO mounts - not a "solid" mount
IMS upgrade / repair completed
Tons of other maintenance including almost all of the coolant hoses, the coolant tank, belts, water pump, LN
Engineering billet oil filter and magnetic drain plug, etc, etc. Basically, nearly everything that could be done
when the car was apart.
Upgraded to Turbo brakes (Big Reds) front and rear
Coil-over suspension installed - Car was professionally corner balanced and set to GT3 specs
Upgraded sway bars and links
Short shifter kit and linkage
Porsche skid plate
Customizable throttle sensitivity with remote
Boost and AFR gauges installed in A-pillar then wrapped in leather
Pioneer AVIC touch screen deck with navigation, Bluetooth, Rear view camera
Custom mounted garage door opener (homelink)
Valentine V1 radar detector custom mounted and Escort shifter Laser jammer with custom stealth installation
Body kit
o TechArt style front bumper damage from a train track crossing which also cracked the splitter K I included
the pictures from when it was perfect, as well as the current picture with the damage. I pulled off the front
splitter as that was too low for city driving and got caught on everything. I still have it, and it can be repaired
if desired
o GT3 rear bumper
o GT2 rear decklid and spoiler
o Custom, one of a kind, rocker panels
o Turbo quarter panel intake ducts -- installed to look flush/factory
PlastiDip with semi-gloss pearl white. It is not perfect and has a few imperfections but looks good from 10.
If you want to truly paint it, you can just peel it off
Upgraded Bi-xenon headlights (2002+)
Decante LED rear taillights, LED 3rd brake light, LED front daytime running lights (in the bumper intakes)
997 side mirrors painted in a GT3 RSR theme
New 19" wheels with relatively new rubber all the way around (note, the rears are really wide and rub when you
hit large bumps so there is some marring on the rears, which has also put rubber marks around the rear fender)
Aftermarket Tire pressure sensors (tpms)

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
McLaren boss' exclusive Porsche 935 Street is worth three 911 Turbos
Wed, 21 May 2014McLarens may be exclusive, but there are still hundreds - if not thousands - of people out there who can say they own one. Mansour Ojjeh is one of them, but he doesn't just own a McLaren - he owns McLaren. As in, the company that makes the racing and exotic supercars. Or 25 percent of it, anyway. As the head of Techniques d'Avant Garde, Ojjeh is one of the British outfit's largest shareholders, previously having owned Heuer watches (before selling it to luxury giant LVMH) and engineered Porsche's most successful foray into Formula One - winning the world drivers' championship three times in a row and the constructors' title twice with Alain Prost and Niki Lauda behind the wheel of McLarens with Porsche engines developed and branded by TAG.
In short, he probably could get any McLaren he wanted at the drop of a hat, but also had strong ties to Porsche in the 80s, and this is the car he wanted. It's called the Porsche 935 Street, and it's the only one ever made. Inspired by the 935 racer that won Le Mans and over 120 other races, Ojjeh contracted Porsche Exclusive when it was still in its infancy to make him one for the road. So they took a 930 bodyshell, slotted in the 3.3-liter turbo flat-six from the 934 but cranked output up to 375 horsepower, and gave it the brakes, suspension, BBS wheels and wide-body aero from the 935 racer. They painted it a deep metallic red and trimmed the interior with cream leather and wood veneer.
When all was said and done, a total of 550 modifications were performed, detailed on a seventeen-page invoice and costing as much as three new 911 Turbos at the time. Ojjeh only put 12,000 miles on the odometer, running up and down the French Riviera, and has now put it up for sale at the upcoming Bonhams auction at Spa where it's tipped to fetch upwards of 300,000 euros - equivalent to $410k at today's rates, or, once again, the price of about three new 911 Turbos.
Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now
Fri, 14 Feb 2014"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.
