For sale is my beautiful and well-loved 1997 Carrera C2S with Tiptronic S transmission. It’s an ultra rare
wide-body 993 finished in special-ordered Forest Green over Cashmere interior. This C2S
shows extremely well. I shudder to even call this a driver. It is a very clean car from the inside out. It was
never abused, no rain, and absolutely no salty roads as evidenced by the corrosion/rust free undercarriage.

Interior
The interior is easily 9/10. The instruments and dash are clean, and no fading or cracking. The tan carpet is
excellent with no stains or dirty spots anywhere (Yes, even the driver side carpeting). The optional draped
leather seating is soft and in overall excellent shape. The driver’s seat has minor outboard bolster wear, not
unusual after 60k miles of driving pleasure. Two sets of floor mats come with the car- the original tan mats in
very good condition, and new black mats should you prefer some darker contrast. Headliner is clean. All electricals
are functional as they should. Driver’s door check-strap repaired prior to my ownership- no issues or odd noises.
Heat works great and A/C blows cold.
Exterior
The body and paint are in excellent condition. I meticulously performed paint-correction on the car about 1 year
ago to address some minor swirling. To this day, the paint still glistens with deep wet clarity you can only
achieve with dark paints. I would rate the exterior 8.5 to 9/10. The car has some paint scratches during removal of
the old stone guards. This didn’t bother me enough to warrant repainting the rear fenders. The windshield has no
stone damage/crack. All glass are as new. This is a no accident car. All panels are original to the car. The
front bumper, hood, and fenders were resprayed prior to my ownership for rock chips. Paint match is perfect! Expel
clear bra protects the front end from any future chipping. Seals and trim pieces are in excellent condition. This
car was obviously garaged and covered its entire life. Both headlight glass lenses are in great shape. Fog lamps
like new. Tail lamps look as new. Wheels are factory original 17” Cup 2s with 225/45 fronts and 255/40 rears,
with 80% tread depth remaining. All wheels are in excellent condition with no curb marks. Brake pads and rotors are
in great shape. All 4 calipers recently refinished to correct some clear coat peeling so commonly seen at this age.
The worn out original suspension was replaced with Bilstein HD and H&R spring combo. Front lower control arm
bushings replaced with red Walrods. The handling is fantastic!

2014 Porsche 911 GT3 [w/video]
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Bearable Lightness Of Being
Start with a standard Porsche 911 Carrera and its 350-horsepower, 3.6-liter flat six-cylinder engine. Bore a crepe-thin slice of aluminum from each cylinder to get to 3.8 liters, add a wider track out back and two extra exhaust pipes and voila, you can append an S to the Carrera's name. Hang two sets of wet, multi-disc clutches along its spine and you can make that a 4, or a 4S. Bolt on two forced-induction compressors and piping, add two fender vents and comically wide rear tires and you've redeemed your ticket to a Turbo. Increase the boost pressure and swell the corral to 560 horses and you have the Turbo S, which is the Virginia Slims of the 911 line-up because it's come a long way, baby.
Or you can go in a different direction. At that second stop, grab the 3.8-liter and cart it over to the engineers at Porsche's development center in Weissach, Germany. If racing were meat, they would be among the alpha carnivores. The baseboards in their homes are probably painted with miniature billboards for motor oil and vintage cigarettes along the straights, red-and-white stripes around every corner.
Porsche tops JD Power APEAL study for 12th time
Wed, Jul 27 2016JD Power's 2016 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) study hasn't changed much this time around with Porsche coming in at No.1 for the 12th consecutive year, while BMW was close behind in second. Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz tied for third with Land Rover, Lexus, and Lincoln tied for No.5. The APEAL Study, according to JD Power, measures owners' level of excitement and emotional attachment across 77 parameters. Brands and cars are rated on a 1,000-point scale. The study found that new cars with modern safety features including low speed collision avoidance and blind spot monitoring have higher APEAL scores than vehicles without the features. The overall industry score increased from 798 to 801, which JD Power claims was helped by the launch of a variety of new vehicles. This year, 22 out of 30 new or redesigned cars received a higher score than the vehicle's respective segment average. Porsche is once again at the top of the list as the automaker's score increased by three points to 877. BMW outscored Jaguar to take second place with a score of 859, while the British automaker dropped three points from last year with 852 points. Volkswagen overtook Mini to become the top-ranked non-premium brand with 809 points, while the latter automaker trailed behind by one point. At the end of the scale, Smart came in at the very bottom for the second year in a row with a score of 745 points, which represents an increase of 62 points over last year. Fiat's score increased by six points to 755, but still confined the automaker to second-to-worst place for a consecutive year. Mitsubishi's score increased to 770, up from 755, to become the fourth-worst brand, while Jeep fell to third-worst with a decrease in seven points to 756. General Motors received six segment-level awards, followed by Hyundai with five, and BMW and VW earning four apiece. Surprise segment victories include the Chevrolet Camaro, which outscored the Dodge Challenger, and the Lexus RC which ranked above the BMW 4 and 3 Series. For more information on how the automakers ranked, check out the official release on the 2016 APEAL Study below or visit JD Power's website to analyze the graphs.

2014 Porsche Panamera 4S Executive
Fri, 09 Aug 2013If the idea of a Porsche sedan (or, long hatchback) is still off-putting to you, then you might want to look away now. For 2014, the polarizing Panamera has received a midcycle refresh bringing slightly different styling, as well as adding two new models to the lineup, the S E-Hybrid and the stretched-wheelbase Executive. Having focused most of my recent trip to Germany on a First Drive of the intriguing plug-in Panamera, I also got to spend some time with the roomier Executive model.
Offered in both 4S and Turbo guise, the Panamera Executive has been stretched by almost six inches for the sole purpose of improving rear passenger space. Although it's hard to imagine anyone would willingly buy a Porsche and opt to sit in the back seat, I'd have to say that if I'm going to be chauffeured around in a car, why not make it a Porsche? For the most part, though, I'm guessing that many Panamera Executive sedans will be owned by people who want to one-up their buddy driving a stretched BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
