This is a US version 1999 Porsche Carrera (911) (VIN: WP0AA2996XS620638) with auto transmission (Tiptronic). This is a very clean, rust free, original and lower than average mile Carrera. I bought this car for my wife as a ‘weekend car’ and it had about 86,000 miles on it back in 2011. The car performs superbly, the cornering, the acceleration, the handling, brakes etc – it is a true Porsche. While it is a really fun car to drive, practically speaking, my wife does not have the time to drive (with work, kids stuff etc.) at all. The last year, she drove it maybe a half a dozen times. The car now has 88,100 miles on it. We are now wanting to trade her primary car and is selling this car to partially pay for it. Though we hate to part with the car, we also now need the garage space.

Let me describe the car a bit. My wife and I bought the car from Tennessee (we live in Texas). The prior owner also was using the car as a fun weekend car and used it sparingly. The car has been garage kept most of its time. I believe we are the third owners with the original first owner being in Florida.

This car is in original condition and state except for the wheels and radio. The prior owner had upgraded the wheels to a 18” rim size with very low profile tires (making the car ride height very nice. The radio is an Alpine. The paint work is in very good condition. There appears to be some prior paint work done on the front fender, at the same time, the car finish is very nice.

The interior is as nice as can be. No rips, no stains, not really even much wear on the driver seat and the driver side carpet. All the little lights work, all the handles are there, the dash and gauges are clean as can be. The door panels great etc. The headliner is in nice shape. The dash does not have any cracks.

The body is very solid and rust-free, straight and clean and shows no signs of any kind of previous body work. The color is Red, with beige interior. The bumpers are straight and clean, the light lenses are clean etc.

The car runs great, we have had the oil changed, new battery, new tires, wheel alignment/balance. The AC blows cold air. The transmission shifts very smoothly, with the ability to manually downshift.

While the car is in good condition, running very good, a few minor items needing attention are; driver sunvisor bracket cover is loose, a few small chips on front bumper, and there appears to be some prior paint work done on the front fender. Other than this, we are not aware of any issues, at the same time, we are selling this car ‘as-is’ with no written or implied warranties.

This Porsche Carrera is the replacement for the older and iconic 911 series and you will not be disappointed at the original condition of this car. It is a blast to drive, and built solid. It took my wife and I a while to find this car and now we are quite sad to sell it, however, have to as we do not use it much and we need the garage space. It has a clear title and I will provide the manuals and all that came with the car.

Feel free to ask as many questions as you have. If you need the car checked out, please feel free to send your mechanic over to see the car first before you bid. Buyer will have to pay for the transport. I can help arrange reasonable shipping about anywhere. I am not familiar with overseas shipping, so please enquire first. Full payment must be received within 7 days of auction end. I am a long time ebayer and have a very good rating/score. I am setting a very reasonable reserve on the car and happy bidding. Please note that we must be able to close transaction in 7 days.

Thanks for looking (and reading) and let me know if you have any questions at all.

24 Hours of Le Mans an on-and-off love affair

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

There was little usual about this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans - intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn't get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted. The race started with a wet track, and one of the records broken because of the random downpours was the number of times the safety car led the field - 11 times this year - although the record of two hours and 53 minutes of lapping behind the safety car, set in 2011, was not eclipsed.
None of that served to dampen the action. With little more than an hour left in the race there were cars still only a few seconds apart fighting for position, leads still changing because of pit stops and everyone drafting anyone they could.
Things didn't go the usual way up front, either - well, not exactly...

Mercedes-AMG GT vs. Porsche 911 [w/poll]

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz designed the AMG GT to compete head-on with the Porsche 911. It's a clear, singular purpose, and Benz brings a lot of money, technology and race-bred expertise to the fight.
The AMG GT is Merc's followup to the awesome SLS AMG, the retro-modern, gullwing-doored coupe that took us by storm half a decade ago. But this new GT coupe is a more focused sports car than the SLS, rather than an all out supercar capable of extreme performance. It's got a brand-new V8 engine, and state-of-the-art technology that help it to not only be a proper Mercedes, but to be a serious performer.
Mercedes will sell its new baby in two models. The GT S arrives first, in spring 2015, followed by the standard GT in mid-2016. Of course, there's room to grow from there. And while Porsche may have already expanded its 911 range to include a vast variety of models, here's how Stuttgart's icon stacks up against Affalterbach's bad boy.

Porsche testing new 911 GTS

Wed, 28 May 2014

Porsche may have one more vehicle in its stable with the GTS moniker, if these spy shots are any indication. They show off the presumed 911 GTS lapping the track - the model meant to slide in under the GT3 to be a bit more driver-friendly but still very fast alternative to a stock Carrera.
At first glance, it might look like any other 911, but the devil is in the details. The most obvious among the differences are two centrally mounted exhaust outlets, rather than the ones closer to the corners on most of the current models. They also aren't perfectly in the center like the GT3. The taillights are also somewhat thicker than the current ones, and the rear decklid is split into three exposed sections.
This is the third time we've seen the presumed GTS. The first was as a coupe late last year. Then it showed up again in March testing in convertible form. Although, that version also sported fender vents at the rear.
