Porsche 911 997 on 2040-cars
Silver Spring, Maryland, United States
I am reluctantly listing 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 spoilerSuspension 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 barsEngine 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 -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. I'm only selling because I want to get back into an aircooled before the prices get to far out of reach.

Petrolicious studies the purity of a Porsche 911 2.7 RS
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Water-cooled Porsches are superior to the old, air-cooled models. This really isn't up for debate, despite the mob of Porsche purists, with pitchforks and torches in hand, currently descending on the Autoblog offices. Water-cooled models are more powerful and easier to live with, two factors that make modern Porsches just so darn amazing.
And while we won't hear arguments on anything we've written above, we will say that the old air-cooled models, while not superior, are just, somehow, better. They sound better - a lot better. They're simple, elemental and wildly entertaining things, that just beg for more and more. They rev in a way that forces drivers to work to unlock their power, rather than just push their right foot down. Part of the appeal of air-cooled Porsches, in addition to what we just listed, are the gorgeous cars they're slotted into, like the subject of the latest video from Petrolicious.
Starring a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, this video is a bit shorter than recent ones, but it's no less exciting. This 911, complete with it's sweet-sounding exhaust is the kind of simple, entertaining thing we can watch over and over. Scroll down for the full video.
Porsche stalls on Ferrari 458 rival
Mon, 17 Nov 2014A few years ago, reports surfaced that Porsche was planning a new supercar. But the latest intel suggests that the plan has been put indefinitely on the back burner.
The project alternately referred to as 960 or 988 was put forth by CEO Matthias Müller shortly after he assumed control of the German automaker. It called for a mid-engined V8 supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder to take on the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren 650S and sister-company Lamborghini's Gallardo and subsequent Huracán.
Now three years since the idea was first mooted, the vehicle has yet to materialize. According to Autocar, Porsche is putting a greater emphasis on refreshing its existing lineup. Which is probably just as well, because the mid-engined supercar would have a heck of a challenge on its hands to differentiate itself in terms of performance from the 911 GT3 and 911 Turbo, which already give the 458 and company a run for their money.
Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
