2009 Porsche 911 997 on 2040-cars
Clements, Maryland, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : jamijddimery@horticulturists.net .
My low mileage Mezger powered Basalt 2009 997 Turbo. I am a long time Porsche owner,
enthusiast, and mechanic. Before I go any further this car does have a $55k factory replacement engine due to a
broken timing chain, quite possibly caused by the ridiculous number of over revs logged by the ecu. I personally
installed the new engine at 16k miles and purchased the car with 17.5k miles. I have completely torn the car down,
inspected, serviced, and reassembled everything mechanically. The entire suspension has been disassembled,
inspected, and serviced. The suspension while very aggressive, is equally agile and responsive while being very
predictable and compliant. I spent a lot of time working with the shock settings, and more importantly reducing the
charge pressures making them much more street friendly then their original design and intention. This car is a
stunning performer being leaps and bounds above the standard turbo.
The paint shows extremely well with the only significant blemishes being nicks and chips on the front splitter,
and around the leading edges of the front rocker and rear bumper (see pics). The installer failed to have the
Techart provided protective clear film attached on those sections. A little time and creativity would quickly
repair this. If it were not for the car being a metallic based black I certainly would have addressed it, however;
it really doesn't stand out as it would with any other color so I decided to leave it alone for now. Aside from
that the paint and body are in amazing condition, you will not be disappointed, no one has ever been yet! The
basalt black has become one of my personal favorites as it really accentuates and exaggerates the curves of the
Turbo body and changes slightly in color with light, a must see in person as pictures just can't do it justice.
Improvements and upgrades.
styling:
-GT2 RS seats (full leather)
-HRE 590R three piece wheels with Dunlop racemaxx tires
-Techart aero kit including rear wing element
-Techart GT3 carbon front bumper vent insert
-Techart carbon roof spoiler
Suspension and Brakes:
-JRZ RS Pro coil overs with Eibach 500/600 springs
-Brembo GT 380mm front and 380mm rear brake conversion
-Brembo type III front rotors
-RSS control arms, links, and mounts
-TPC Racing sway bars
Engine and Performance:
-Brand new Factory replacement Mezger engine
-AWE Tuning 650S headers, hi-flow cats, and exhaust
-GT3 throttle body
-Softronic 650 hp 93 oct tune
-TPC Racing intercoolers (largest on market)
-Werks1 (champion motorsport) carbon plenum
-Werks1 carbon y-pipe (needs repair but goes with car)
-IDP aluminum y-pipe
-Werks1 carbon air intake
-OS Giken limited slip
-ERP triple disc clutch and LWFW assembly.
The car is rock solid and fully emissions compliant, no lights, warnings or errors.
The Softronic software was used in favor of the original AWE/GIAC software because it provides a more progressive
boost map and better throttle modulation allowing the car to be much more driveable on the bottom end of the power
band.
No expense was spared on the build of this car and would cost several 10's of thousands to duplicate, anyone
familiar with these cars knows the costs of the parts and mods listed above. There are no excuses and the next
owner will surely not be dissapointed.

2014 Porsche Panamera arrives with new E-Hybrid, long-wheelbase models
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Porsche will officially unveil the refreshed 2014 Panamera at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month, and there's a whole lot in store for the updated model, far beyond the minimal styling tweaks you see here. Sure, there's a new fascia with more prominent LED lighting (including full LED headlamps) and the rump has been tweaked ever so slightly, but the big news for 2014 concerns what's underneath that rakish skin.
First up, Porsche will now offer a Panamera S E-Hybrid model - a plug-in hybrid that builds on the technology first introduced in the Panamera S Hybrid that we tested in 2011. For this new application, a more powerful electric motor and higher-performance battery have been fitted (official specs have not been released just yet), and Porsche says the battery can be recharged in just two and a half hours when the car is plugged in to a 240-volt outlet, and the charging (as well as other vehicle data) can be monitored via a new Porsche Car Connect app available for Android and iOS devices.
The E-Hybrid will have an all-electric driving range of "greater than 20 miles" and will be able to travel at speeds up to 84 miles per hour solely on electric power.
Porsche Panamera gets new diesel in time for Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Diesel may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Porsche, but in the European market - that vital one which Porsche calls home - diesels are indispensable. Particularly when you're trying to extend beyond niche sports cars and into the mainstream luxury sedan market as Zuffenhausen has with the Panamera. In fact, diesels account for 15 percent of Panamera sales worldwide (even though they're not offered Stateside), so to keep oil-burning customers happy, Porsche has announced a series of upgrades.
Set to be unveiled in the flesh at the fast-approaching Frankfurt Motor Show, the new Panamera Diesel packs 300 horsepower. That's 50 hp (or 20 percent) more than the model it replaces, significantly dropping the 0-62 sprint from 6.8 seconds to 6 flat, and raising top speed from 152 miles per Autobahn-crunching hour to 161. While they were at it, Porsche's engineers also fitted the rear differential with torque vectoring (previously reserved for gasoline-burning models) and retuned the transmission and suspension.
You can delve into the press release below for all the details - including the new model's improved towing capacity! - but the reality, for better or worse, is that the Panamera Diesel isn't offered here. So if you've been celebrating Labor Day (or even Labour Day, for our friends to the north) like we have, don't go looking for it at your local dealer, who will have only a Cayenne Diesel to show you instead.
Porsche ready to pick itself up after Le Mans failure
Mon, 23 Jun 2014It's safe to say that things for Porsche didn't go quite as well at Le Mans this year as it might have hoped. After a sixteen-year gap, the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing history returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe this year hoping maybe not for outright victory in its first time back, but definitely a strong finish on which it could build on for next year. All the while it undoubtedly hoped its 911s would hold their own in the GT classes.
Unfortunately for Porsche, neither happened. After racing around the clock, and despite actually leading the festivities for some time, the best its 919 Hybrid could manage was an eleventh-place finish, lagging lamentably behind not only the other LMP1s (like the race-winning Audi) but also a handful of LMP2s. Meanwhile the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am titles went to the factory-backed teams of its arch-rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, respectively.
Not a stellar result, in other words, but Porsche is taking it all in stride - accepting that it has a ways to go while congratulating its vanquishing rivals in the video below. It's good sportsmanship if we've ever seen it. Next year's race starts now.
