 Here you have the opportunity to purchase at the end of this auction, or perhaps sooner if you make a high enough offer. Stunning black paint that appears to be all original with almost no flaws, only one insignificant one on the hood but no dings, scratches, or rock chips in the paint or glass. Why am I selling this wonderful driver's car? And why do I call it a driver's car? Its a drivers car by dint of how it was equipped from the factory with adaptive sport seating, sport chronometer plus, thicker three spoke sport steering wheel, nice, wide Techart or stock 19" wheels with sticky Bridgestone Potenza tires, wider than I think I have ever owned before. Get in it and drive, its both easy and challenging to drive with reward to the best of your abilities. That being said you don't have to drive it hard, its a rewarding car whether you drive it hard or just puddle along with traffic. Good air conditioning, large sunroof, electric windows all make it easy and fun to be in and drive. This is one investment you wont regret, trust me on that one.

So why am I selling, and why after owning it nearly two years have I only put about 50 some miles on it? Well, its an age old story nobody wants to hear so I won't bore you with details other than to say a series of medical problems have prevented me from enjoying it the way I should have. Most of those have been resolved now, I do not have to sell it, I do not need the money nor the space but I simply want something different. Its time to move on to the next supercar, plus I should have purchased an open car, my first love. So now I am ready to move on to the next car to add to my stable. Not that I need any, I have around 15 vehicles and find it hard to give any one of them much time. So now I am determined to reduce my accumulation of cars and this one is first on the list since I want an open car. Who knows, I might even buy another Turbo but in Cabriolet form. Have one you want to trade? Have anything you want to trade let me know thru eBay messaging. Would consider an Aston Martin DB9 Volante or a Generation 3 Dodge Viper, both black or dark blue and convertibles. What do you have to trade?

You know about the options, the car is equipped as one would order a real drivers car with options including a sport shifter, adaptive sport seats, 3 spoke multi function steering wheel in matching grey leather, 6 speed manual trans and sport chronometer package turbo plus. And that magnificent 480 horsepower turbo motor, responsive, strong and reliable. One of the best in any car on the planet and destined to stay that way. Porsche keeps upping the ante with more hp and more performance but this car is your last chance to own a manual transmission turbo motor 911. The new 991's are, as I understand it all automatic transmissions with no manual option available. Pity for those of us who like to row our cars around with the shifter. As mentioned, this car does have the sport shifter as well, another driver oriented option.

You get your choice of either the lovely but rather common stock Porsche 19x8 and 11 alloys or a full set of the same size Techart black alloys with silver rims, the rears with a nice looking offset. Or for another two grand above the final selling price you can have both and the best part is they both have a good, usable set of super wide Bridgestone Potenza tires, the stock alloys having a shade more tread than the Techarts but they are all plenty usable with at least 70% tread by my estimate. I am not an expert on either Porsches or tires but have had lots of both and I can tell you with all truth this car is the best of the lot that have graced my garages.

With only fifty miles on the clock in the last nearly two years since the Nov 2012 purchase the car has in effect had only two real owners, the two prior to myself and I have the mechanical invoices for work done by the second owner only. I believe I have all the books and tools as well with one factory key. Work was done by RAC Performance in Carrollton, TX, the only authorized RUF dealer in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. The 60k service has been done by them. I did have a Pre Purchase Inspection done by Autobahn Motorcar Group, a Porsche dealer in Fort Worth Texas by the manager Devin Tyler done at 61,505 miles showing "no problem areas" and the manager told me that in 6 years the car had only seen a slight over rev a measly 6 times but apparently he did not record that on his report. He said that's unheard of. The car is clean, fresh and ready to go. Take a look at the pics of the interior, it looks new doesn't it? I am so impressed by the quality of the leather and the care that has been taken to maintain this car that it is essentially a like new car. My own tastes seem to lean toward open cars, convertibles and I do love the Aston Martin DB9 Volante which may well be the replacement for this fine automobile.

All this is in aid of selling my car which has a title clear and is totally free of encumbrances and is mine. I am not a mechanic, nor am I an expert on anything Porsche, just an enthusiast who has owned several but still I am not an expert at all. All of the descriptions in the auction are my opinion and mine alone. I can not verify anything other than the facts listed above, the car drives what to me is well and like new and I can see no problems with any of the systems or parts of the car. Come and see the car for yourself, I am located west of Fort Collins in the Foothills and will gladly arrange a viewing if you are local or want to make the trip, but do it before the auction ends, NOT AFTER. I bought the car sight unseen and have not regretted it in any way. It has cost me nothing to own other than the insurance and some minor improvements all of which are easily reversible. The carbon fiber rings around the headlites are held on with tape and are easily removed. The front valence under the grille is new and it replaced one that had seen better days by myself. I can at least do that sort of thing. I do not offer any sort of warranty or anything similar to a warranty for anything on the car, the facts presented are my impressions but are not those of an expert. Thus THE CAR CARRIES NOTHING LIKE A WARRANTY AND IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED OR EVEN HINTED AT, NONE!!

The transport of the car is the sole responsibility of the buyer but I will do what I can to assist as long as it is understood that the transport is NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY! It is yours if you are the buyer of this fine automobile. I do have a friend who likes to take cars around the country on a single car trailer and if he is available he would be your absolute best option other than one of the expensive enclosed carriers like Reliable. He is honest, up front and reliable beyond reproach. I have no problem sending the car overseas either and will assist where I can having already sold cars to Germany, France, England, even Uruguay believe it or not!

So lets remain friends and PLEASE do not bid if you are not prepared to pay and buy the car. If you were to be the high bidder but make some lame excuse like you bid drunk or by mistake I will be forced to employ any and all legal means to collect the winning bid. I cannot be swayed with excuses, real or imagined so lets do a good, clean uncomplicated transaction that sees the car paid for in three days as specified in the auction and you can keep it here as long as need be until it can be transported or you can come and get it yourself. Its well worth the asking price, I don't believe you will find a better one for any price. No wait, that makes no sense, pay more get more, that's the American way after all, right? This is however an excellent value and I don't believe you would regret the purchase at all.

Porsche resurrects V8-powered 911 prototype from the Eighties

Wed, 14 May 2014

These days, we take it for granted that the Porsche 911 uses a flat-six engine. That's because every version of the iconic rear-engined sports car has had one. Right? Well, for the most part. There was the 912 that joined the original in the late Sixties with a flat-four. And in the mid-Eighties, Porsche toyed around with the idea of a V8-powered 911.
After the first-generation 911 had been in production for over two decades, Porsche began development of its successor, the 964, in the 1980s. And one of its ideas was to use a V8 engine. So it took a 964, borrowed a V8 from Audi, gave it the rear bodywork from a 959 and dubbed it the 965.
The idea was to create a more affordable successor to the 959 that included its advanced all-wheel drive system and active suspension. The Audi V8 would have been replaced with one of Porsche's own design - possibly based on the it had built for Indy racing - but Dr. Ulrich Bez (who was then head of Porsche R&D long before taking the reins at Aston Martin) ultimately killed the project.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
