This car has been transformed into something special. A lot of thought and money has been put into this car. I bought it only last July (2012) from the original owner. He slowly transformed over his owner ship into what it is today. His description from his ad with my updates:

Perfect street legal track car! Approximately 325 HP and 2750 lbs. Can do 1:02 at Lime Rock or 2:14 at Watkins Glen (his driving, not mine), and cruise around with the top down! Single owner(2 owner now), meticulously maintained and built by Musante Motorsports (musantemotorsports dot com). Modifications include a 996 3.4L engine w/ 14k mi(currently25k), sport intake & FVD exhaust, JIC Cross suspension (coilovers and 16 way adjustable compression), 996 brakes, ECU upgrade, competition clutch, DEEP oil sump, catch can, solid engine mounts, 996 18" wheels w/ BFG R1 slicks(no longer on the car), GT3 seats, Willans harness, Traqmate video/data acquisition. Transmission has only 6k mi(currently 17k), and several other new parts. 99k mi(currently 110,575K) on chassis only. Must see and drive for any track enthusiast.

*****NOTE*****

Car Currently has 25K miles on 3.4 996 crate motor, 17K on transmission and 110,575 total miles(may rise slightly as I am still driving it occasionally)

Car currently has Dunlop direzza 2's (plenty of tread, only 2 track days and 4K total miles) on 18 inch MY02 wheels(near perfect condition. The stock 17 inch wheels, in near perfect condition, have essentially brand new Pirelli winter tires (in order to drive year round) and I also have almost full tread Dunlop direzza star specs, which original owner used as rain tires, on the 17 inch wheels. These are currently unmounted. The wheels are in great shape and I can send pics to anyone. The wheels have no curb rash. The previous owner had a few of the wheels resprayed to remove any blemishes.

I have essentially every work order and maitenence receit since new. Previous owner was in one accident, spinning on snow and hitting a guard rail, several years ago and I have all the documentation of the repair. I just had the front bumper and hood resprayed as well as having a small dent repaired. I have before and after pics and it was very minor.

Since purchasing the car last August (2012), I have replaced all 4 wheel bearings, added brey krause roll bar extension, LN magnetic drain plug, LN spin on oil filter adapter, new MAF sensor, added mesh to front grills to keep out debris from radiators, replaced radiator fan, replaced leaky AC condensor, performed 3 oil changes (Joe Gibbs DT40) and 2 brake flushes (Castrol SRF). I do have another set of HANS (3-2-3) 6 compatible 6 pt harnesses, driver and passenger, that I did not get mounted. The are out of date, but unused.

I did 3 DE's last summer/fall and 2 this spring. Approximately 600 miles of the 11,000 I have driven in the last year are on the track (intermediate run group, street tires). The remainder have primarily been my 25-35 mile one way hwy commute.

The car recently passed CT emissions. However, an occasional CEL will come on for Secondary Air Injection and Evap Emissions. These are not an issue regarding driveability or performance. And, in CT as long as CEL is not on at the time of testing, only need 6 out of 8 parameters "ready". There is a pic of the recent test. I always check the codes to be sure and just reset the light.

There are really only 3 cosmetic issues. The back window has 2 vertical cracks. (I didn't know I was not suppose to open roof in cold weather.) Repaired them with E6000 epoxy which is flexible and weatherproof. The brake calipers are painted red and there is some peeling of the right rear caliper. There is a small wrinkle in the rear bumper cover down low on the left side of the car, from a broken muffler slightly melting the plastic. This is old and from previous owner. I have pictures, if not visible in this ad, available and is barely noticeable.

I am selling for medical reasons; 2 back surgeries since last December. Honestly, the GT3 seats are actually comfortable, but the overall ride is hard and the sitting position is fairly low. I am replacing this car with something that will is more compliant. It's a tradeoff in performance, but it best for me.

Just because it was built to handle the rigors of track use, does not mean that this isn't a great car for the streets. I have spent a lot more time on the streets, and it handles like a gokart. The shocks can be softened to allow a more compliant ride per personal preference. The advantage of this car, is that it can handle track days without any issues. It has the oiling capacity, braking capacity, the handling capacity, and increased safety capacity. The cooling is also up to the task, as this setup is what was on the 1999 996 (911 carrera's). Basically the same car from the front seats forward. The advantage of this over a 911 is neutral and predictable handling.

I live 7 miles from the original owner, a PCA instructor. He is available to answer any questions anybody may have regarding this car. I will provide contact info for any serious buyer, who wishes to find out any more specifics as to the build and history, but will preserve his privacy in this listing.

This car has been built the right way. The major upgrade parts alone are close to $40K. The engine transplant alone, was $33K with parts and labor.

A stock 99 boxster, with 2.5L motor and a lot more miles is a 12K car. Basically, I am asking for $9.5K more for all the extra parts and labor. GT3 seats, MY02 wheels, suspension, exhaust, extra wheels with snow tires, roll bar extension, traqmate, etc, etc., etc. This car is probably worth more in parts. The GT3 seats, 18 inch wheels, roll bar extension are probably worth $5K alone, if they were sold off right now.

My goal was to drive this car for a few years on and off the track and then finish the track only transformation. I had envisioned going to a full cage and really making a dedicated track vehicle. But, my circumstances have changed.

This car is ready to go. Maintenance is up to date. Needs nothing but a new owner.

Happy to help facilitate PPI for serious buyer at your expense. I am just outside of Hartford CT.

Thanks for looking.

*****Forgot to add that the convertible top was modified to be able to raise and lower while moving. The only downside is that you have to remember to crack the windows about 1/2 inch for the top to seat itself properly. The switch is a toggle by the left knee on the dash.*****

The entire Porsche 911 history in under 90 seconds

Fri, Feb 12 2016

Over more than 50 years Porsche has taken a terrible idea - hanging an engine behind the rear wheels so that the car will try to go backwards through corners - and turned it into an automotive icon. One way that happened was keeping that unmistakable shape. As you'll see in the video above, the proportions are true to the original even with the relatively radical changes with recent models. The animation includes price and power figures, and even has the model designations, so you can keep up in conversation when a Porschephile starts rambling about random numbers.

Porsche Classic launching branded motor oil for air-cooled boxer engines

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

It's hard not to love the look of a classic Porsche. Whether it's the upside-down bathtub styling of the 356 or the gradual evolution of the 911, there is a little beauty in all of them. However, the older they get, the more that needs repaired to keep them on the road. Porsche Classic is helping out, though, by introducing its own brand of motor oil for the demands of the company's vintage, air-cooled engines.
Developed at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach, Germany, Porsche Classic Motoroil comes in two weights - 20W-50 for the 356, 914 and 911 models up to the 2.7-liter G-Model and 10W-60 for 3.0-liters-and-up engines through the 993-chassis 911. The company claims that the air-cooled engines have different heat demands than traditional, water-cooled units, and this oil is made to meet those requirements.
According to Porsche, modern, synthetic oils are sometimes too effective when it comes to old engines. They are fantastic at sopping up debris, but those deposits are often holding archaic seals together. Suddenly removing them can cause leaks. The new oil is specifically designed to work with the old-fashioned materials found in its classics. The company also knows that most owners aren't driving their vintage cars everyday. So this formulation is more alkaline that normal to neutralize acids that they build up and corrode components.

Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]

Sun, 07 Apr 2013

Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.
