This track car is located in eastern ontario, 45 mins from the ontario - us border. It is a US originated car and successful buyer will have all the documentation necessary for duty free re-entry into the US.
I've owned a number of both air and water cooled rear engine and front engine Porsches since the early 80's. In the past few years I've been bitten by the DE/Track experience and sold my 996 C4S back in 2012 to get more seriously into the game and eventually graduate to the amateur racing level with the 944 Cup series. After spending last summer at the track sorting the car, circumstances and priorities have now changed and track time is on the back burner. Let me tell you about the car. It is an original "S" delivered new to Brumos in Atlanta. It was traded by the original owner in 1994 with 72k mi and continued to run as a pure street car until April of 96 with now 104k on it. At that time it was converted to a dual purpose street and track car by a local PCA Suncoast Region instructor/racer who claimed the car is setup to run D class in PCA club racing events. Looking at the expiry dates on the harnesses and the binder of receipts that came with the car, it appears he ran the car on track with street use until 2003 .... total of 4k mi. It appears that the car sat unused from 2003 - 2011 and in spring of 2011 was returned to light street use 2k mi 2011 - 2013. Here's what was in the car when I acquired it in spring of 2013.
I ran the car in DE events last year and this year at Mosport, Calabogie and Tremblant (See video June 27, 2014) getting the car sorted. We off-loaded the car from the transporter, drove it right into the garage for a fluid change and track inspection. Next day we were on the track. I was blown away by the performance and handling combo over my recent 996 AND the AC blows cold!!!. Here's what I've done since:

Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
Lightspeed Classic 911 rocks out with its sprockets out
Thu, Sep 3 2015Singer does a pretty damn good job re-imagining the Porsche 911, but the faithful will aptly tell you that it's not the only name in the business. Munich-based Autoaktiv Motorsport also does a pretty compelling rendition of the classic German sports car. It's called the Lightspeed Classic, and this video clip casts it in light as good as we've ever seen. The brainchild of former Porsche engineer Ralf Skatulla, the Lightspeed Classic is based on the 964 but upgrades some key components while keeping the classic style. Power comes from a 3.8-liter flat-six from the 964 RS (albeit rebuilt with titanium components) that's been retuned to deliver 340 horsepower. It's got the gearbox from a 996 Turbo, the clutch from a 997 GT3 RS, and the brakes from a 996 GT3 Cup, along with Michelin Pilot Sport rubber coating a set of Fuchs-style BBS alloys. The result, as you can see, is lovely. Especially with Tim Schrick behind the wheel. The German racing driver is also a television personality, co-hosting D Motor – Germany's equivalent to Top Gear – alongside Sabine Schmitz and Carsten van Ryssen. Which is all well and fine, but what you really want to do is scope out the footage for yourself. If you dig Porsches (or even if you don't), it'll probably be the best 49 seconds you'll spend all day. Related Video:
Seinfeld's Porsches and VWs command $22 million at auction
Mon, Mar 14 2016Jerry Seinfeld sold off parts of his private collection last weekend at the Gooding & Company auction at Amelia Island, and the comedian's prized possessions garnered an impressive $22 million. Seinfeld is a passionate collector of Porsches, and the top lot which Gooding moved from his collection was a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, which sold for $5.35 million – right in the middle of its estimated range. Others inline with their pre-sale estimates included a 1990 962C racer ($1.65 million), a '94 964 Flatnose Turbo ($1 million), a '66 911 ($275,000), and a '64 VW Camper ($99,000). A few lots exceeded expectations, notably a '74 911 Carrera IROC RSR that went for $2.3 million (over an estimate of $1.2-1.5 million), as did a pair of 911 Speedsters from 1989 and 2011 and a 356 Speedster from '57. Jerry's 1960 Volkswagen set a new record for Beetles sold at auction when it went for a top bid of $121,000, well exceeding its estimated $45,000 value. The '73 Porsche 917/30 Can-Am Spyder, however, sold for $3 million – which might seem like a lot of money until you realize that it was estimated to fetch upwards of $5 million. A '59 718 RSK went for only $2.86 million when it was valued at $4 million. A pair of 356s sold for $825,000 (instead of $1.25 million) and $1.5 million (instead of $2.25 million). A 993 Cup and a '58 Jadgwagen fell below expectations as well. Altogether, CNBC notes that the $22 million brought in by the collection fell well below the $28-32 million it was anticipated to raise. Far be it from us to count someone else's money, but something tells us Seinfeld won't be hurting too much after the sale. This is the guy, after all, who turned down an offer from NBC that would have netted him $5 million per episode for another 22-episode season of the eponymous show that made him famous.
