Black 1984 Porsche 944, 2 Door Coupe, Gold Fuchs, 5 Speed, European Vin # on 2040-cars
Urbandale, Iowa, United States
|
This is NOT the correct vin # for this Porsche 944. I used the vin off of another old vehicle of mine because ebay would not allow this European vin. The CORRECT vin for the 944 that I am selling is WP0ZZZ94ZEN407643. This Porsche 944 is far from perfect. I bought this Porsche to fix it up, but don't have the time anymore so thought it would possibly be a great project car for somebody else. While owning the Porsche, I installed a new high torque starter, two new crank sensors, and a new relay switch. Everything that is wrong with this 944 is listed above and despite the long list, this 944 has a few good qualities. First off there are approximately only 75,200 actual miles. There are no dings, dents, or rust. Very solid straight body. Also very powerful and shifted smoothly when it ran. Top speed is 170 mph. One unique thing is that its a European edition. Tires are in good condition. The Porsche comes with four keys. One for the doors, hatch, and ignition. One key for the glove box. One key for the Porsche factory alarm which still works (key activated). One key for the special Porsche lug nut lock (one on each tire). Porsche does come with the original spare tire and jack. Also has a Blaupunkt cd player. I'm not the original owner and not quite sure of its history. This is a straight auction with no reserve, so enjoy! Contact me with any questions you may have.

Porsche offering new tire option for Carrera GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Let's face it: finding new tires for older cars can be challenging if tire manufacturers have stopped carrying the right sizes (this writer went through Hell to find a set of 205/60-13s). But what about tires for low-volume supercars, which use sizes that often won't fit on high-volume production vehicles? The Porsche Carrera GT isn't that old and tires are still available in the correct sizes, but the German automaker has shown its support of keeping them on the road by working with Michelin to give owners yet another tire option. Enter the Carrera GT-specific Pilot Super Sport.
It's common knowledge that tires are one of the most important pieces of the performance puzzle, and Porsche claims that the PSS tires, sized 265/35ZR-19 front and 335/30ZR-20 with Porsche's "N0" rating, will improve the Carrera GT's handling and stability all the way up to its claimed top speed of 205 miles per hour. That's important for a car with razor-sharp handling characteristics. They'll also net drivers a 10-percent increase in fuel economy on regular roads and up to 20 percent on racetracks, Porsche says.
The PSSs use cutting-edge tire technology to harness the Carrera GT's 610-horsepower. They have a dual-compound tread that's different from the inside of the tire to the outside, which, Porsche says, helps steering precision and increases maximum grip. Aramid fibers, which are lightweight but just as strong as steel, are used in the tire's belt to reduce unsprung weight.

Motor Trend holds World's Greatest Drag Race for the third time
Fri, 23 Aug 2013As part of Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car competition, the buff book has held its third iteration of the World's Greatest Drag Race. With an airfield and a dozen of the world's finest performance cars at its disposal (oh, and a helicopter), the MT team did what any good group of enthusiasts would do, and tried to figure what car could cover a quarter mile the quickest. World's greatest drag race, indeed.
The contestants, as MT points out, cover a huge variety of engine types, drivelines, aspiration types and body styles, making for a genuinely varied and interesting field of competitors. Here's the full list of cars taking part.
