Due to kid’s college I am selling my 1974 PORSCHE 911 2 DOOR TARGA with 2.2 liter engine with rebuilt 40IDA3C webers! 2nd listing this summer because 1st bidder was a fraud. · You are going to love the attention that comes your way wherever you go and the fun you will have driving it! I know I can get a lot of money for the parts if I part it out, but I have never destroyed one of these, so I am willing to let it go for less than what it is worth rather than part it out. Typical value for these is around $12k-$18k. Noted below are the inherent values of the parts if I were to part it out e.g. easily worth over the $12000 in all the potential parts (many discussed below). This car is not perfect, has some work to do, but it is a great starter that can be driven now. Excellence magazine lists the 1974 Targa from $12,700 to $19,600, so this car is a lot better than the lowest listing, although it will need some attention over time. · Boxer 6 cylinder engine with a rock solid performance 2.2 liter engine. The Engine has been rebuilt, but I don't know when. I adjusted valves, changed oil and all filters, checked for broken head studs, etc in the last 4 months. Like most these it does have its small oil leaks, although I haven’t noticed too much oil usage or engine smoking. Each of the exhaust headers has an O2 bung to test for air fuel ratio. · Updated chain tensioner kit has been added. · Webers are rebuilt in almost like new condition. Problematic fuel injection has been replaced by rebuilt Weber carburetors. Engine is currently set for 13.5 AFR at idle on all cylinders. · I have spent the last 3 years making this car very solid. All of the significant rust in the front pan and front areas or underneath have been fully cut out and double MIG welded. It only has a bit of general surface rust in a few spots underneath which can be easily seen. The front fender body area on the inside had a small crease, but it has been well fixed. All the rest has of the rust problems have been cut out and steel welded over. Finished in Alpine White, the exterior of this Porsche shows quite well. There are a few minor paint runs or oversprays that are not noticeable until you are really close. It is nice and shiny. The dash has been recovered so there are no obvious cracks. · Has the front right fender mounted oil cooler with Porsche lines and thermostat was added to keep the engine cool. · 5 speed manual transmission: very good shape with no synchro problems, has been updated with Ed’s whisper transmission coupler and a Seine like gate shifter (spring loaded for gears 1-2); new clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. · Targa top; very nice shape but one of the cross bars has the end broke, but there is no problem when mounted. · Inside carpet and seats are fine but carpets have been taped and seats replaced with other better shape seats from newer cars. Seats are different from each other. · VDO gauges ($500), but the speedometer doesn’t work, although I know the cable is good. · 4 vintage 1968 6x15 steel wheels and 1 Fuchs replica for a spare. All the tires have plenty of tread, but I would replace them when I get the right wheels as they are dated. · Nice solid fenders, solid doors, power windows that work and one driver’s side power mirror that doesn’t. · Front anti sway bar · Replaced the midtunnel brake line when the engine was out. · New brake master cylinder and new brake pads. Still left to do: · Windshield has a new seal, but the window has one vertical crack all the way top to bottom. No impact to driving and I would not replace it now. Crack was there before we put it back in with the new seal. · One of the high beams doesn’t work. · Right door was replaced and needs adjusting. · Does not have the lower side skirts, they can be provided if you want them. I don’t like them.

Porsche Cayman S and Caterham 7 go head to head on the drag strip
Fri, 27 Jun 2014We recently saw the standard Porsche Cayman go up against a Subaru WRX STI in a one-mile drag race with surprising results. Apparently, Evo had a similar idea of evaluating the Cayman's quickness. However, it opted for the more powerful S model and chose a flyweight Caterham Roadsport 140 as the challenger. Will the results of this battle be as close at the end of the kilometer-long (0.62-mile) drag?
Neither of these are cars you'd usually associate with drag racing, but they are nearly evenly matched. Evo selected them based on power-to-weight ratio, with the Caterham offering a scant 140 horsepower in a lithe 1,213-pound package. The Porsche is a quite svelte 2,910 pounds but has 325 hp to haul it around.
Of course, power-to-weight ratio isn't everything. There are a ton of other variables like aerodynamics and gearing that play a huge role, as well. Can the little Caterham's weight advantage overcome the better aero and additional power of the Porsche? Scroll down watch the video and find out.
Porsche 960 could come with quad-turbo flat-eight engine
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Getting a bead on the target that is the so-called Porsche 960 is not easy, as the target keeps moving. First labeled the 960, then the 961, and now back to being called the 960, it is Porsche's take on a supercar specifically aimed at Ferrari - the latest report in Automobile says that Porsche's internal moniker for it is "FeFi," which stands for "Ferrari Fighter." Because it is expected to cost as much as the top-tier V12 Ferrari, Porsche wants the engine solution to justify the price tag. That means, according to author Georg Kacher, a 3.9-liter, quad-turbo flat-eight engine with 650 horsepower.
Last summer, the engine was mooted to be a twin-turbo flat six. A few months later, the rumor was that it would use the 4.6-liter V8 from the 918 and have about 570 horsepower. This new mid-engine configuration would be quite the leap, giving the 960 more power than the 918 Spyder (pictured) and 911 GT2 RS, and utilize other tech features like four adjustable camshafts and "a complex multistage intake manifold." In this scenario, power would be run through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.
Build materials are still slated to be a hodgepodge of materials including aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, titanium and magnesium. The boosted flat-eight, all-wheel drive and a 3,000-pound weight could get the 960 from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. Since it is looking squarely at Ferrari, the idea that the 960 will be a "four-door coupe" can probably be put to rest. For now.
Porsche 918 Spyder could lap the 'Ring even quicker [w/video]
Mon, 16 Sep 2013Porsche had a lot to crow about at the Frankfurt Motor Show last week. Not only did it debut the new 50 Years edition and Turbo versions of the 911 and the new hybrid and diesel versions of the Panamera, but while unveiling the final production version of the new 918 Spyder, it revealed the record lap it set around the Nürburgring.
The 918 Spyder's 6:57 lap time makes it the fastest street-legal production car ever to lap the Nordschleife and the first to break the seven-minute barrier. But the driver who clocked the time thinks it can go even faster.
That driver was Marc Lieb, who has won the Nürburgring 24-hour race four times, making him something of an expert on the subject. In speaking with Australia's Drive TV, Lieb suggested that they could get even more out of the car, as you can hear for yourself in the video below.
