1996 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Santee, California, United States
For sale is a 1996 Porsche Carrera 2 with tiptronic. (I wish it was a manual too!)
Car shows 114k miles although the odometer is currently inoperable.
The car was a one owner vehicle, prior to me getting it very recently. I have service documentation through most of
its life, including a $10k rebuild/service at 100k miles. New head gaskets and piston rings included.
Car runs and drives very good. Paint is a respray. The car may have been in an accident previously, or was not put
back together perfect after the paint job. The carafe does not show any accidents and no immediate signs of an
accident are visible, at least to my eye. The bumper gaps are a bit larger than they should be. And there is very
minor overspray. Stored in a garage for the majority of its life.
Car is not a perfect show 993. It is a great driver quality car, which is exactly what it should be used for. An
expert could find a number of imperfect things with the car, but it will continually put a smile on your face.
Stock 6 cd changer with sound system and sunroof. It has the tiptronic shifters on the steering wheel. A/C blows
cold.
I have all keys and Porsche info card for the car, as well as all the manuals with ser ices documented in the
service book, mostly by Porsche of Santa Monica. The car has been in Santa Monica or Santa Barbara it's whole life.
Clean carfax. Only one mileage inaccuracy, which was probably a typo around 70k miles.
Car is in need of rear tires and likely brake rotors. I could do the rotors for the price of the rotors and pass.
The rotors are only $125/ea. The car does have some wear on the drivers bolster. Used seats can be found if you
look hard enough!

Jay Leno puts carbon fiber wheels to the test on a Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Thu, 04 Sep 2014Jay Leno's Garage usually focuses on looking at cars new and old, speaking to their owners and then Jay taking a drive to see what he thinks. However, Leno throws his usual shtick to the curb this week to do a full product test of the carbon fiber wheels from a company called Carbon Revolution. If you're not interested in hearing about wheels for 18 minutes, don't worry. They get mounted on a Porsche and are tested back-to-back with stock wheels, and Leno takes the 911 for a track test, too.
While carbon-fiber wheels aren't exactly a new idea, Carbon Revolution's goal is to create a lightweight, one-piece product that can be mass produced. The company even claims that it already has a deal with an OEM automaker to offer them on a vehicle in a few years. The key to the technology is that it doesn't need an expensive autoclave to be made.
In the meantime, the company's carbon fiber wheels are available as an aftermarket option for about $15,000 a set, according to the video. They weigh in at about 15.5 pounds each and offer OEM-levels of stiffness, so they could cut some unsprung mass off of a performance car. Watch here as Jay and his mechanic Bernard lap Willow Springs and give their feedback about what they think of this cutting-edge technology.
Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach package does 0-62 mph in 2.6 seconds
Mon, 18 Nov 2013Porsche marketers are having a field day with the 918 Spyder after some last-minute tuning improved the car's performance. They now say that it's so fast it's already beaten itself. Let us explain: Using a Weissach package-equipped 918 as an example (which reduces the plug-in hybrid supercar's weight through the deletion of some interior items, more generous use of carbon fiber and magnesium wheels), the car's previous official 0-62 miles-per-hour time of 2.8 seconds has been cut to 2.6. Additionally, 0-124 mph takes 7.2 seconds and 0-186 mph is dispatched in 19.9 seconds, times that were reduced by half a second and 2.1 seconds, respectively.
In all-electric mode, a non-Weissach pack 918 does 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds (with the package, 6.1 seconds), down from 6.9 seconds. Efficiency is also improved thanks to the final tuning. The New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) rating of a Weissach pack-equipped car equates to 94 miles per gallon, up three mpg compared to before. That's pretty good for a car with 887 horsepower!
Check out the press release below for more details on how Porsche's final tuning measures improved its flagship supercar.
Porsche goes karting in its Cayman GTS
Sun, 03 Aug 2014Think Mini is the king of Go-Kart Handling[TM]? Well, you might be mistaken, as Porsche proves here it's fully capable of delivering a driving experience that'd fit in quite nicely on a go-kart track.
Using a new and very red Cayman GTS, the Stuttgart-based manufacturer invades a kart track in northern Italy and sets the mid-engined sports car loose to slip, slide and zip its way around the circuit. As far as videos for Sunday evening go, this one ticks all the boxes.
Take a look.
