2002 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
O Fallon, Illinois, United States
Feel free to email: carlicaahlfield@rumpypumpy.net . This is a pampered Carrera 4S with a number of upgrades and modifications. I am a PCA member, this is my fifth
Porsche, have owned this vehicle for 4 years (I'm the 3rd owner, but have all paperwork), and it has lived a very
sheltered life. No winters, no rain, covered when not in use. Upgrades/Modifications:
Factory Wheels Upgraded to 19" HRE's with New Michelin Pilot Sport 2 Tires ($10,000)
Professionally Installed K40 Laser/Radar Detector/Defender ($2,000)
IMS Bearing Upgrade with Lowered Oil Pan in 2013 ($5,000) - I would STRONGLY Advise Not Buying a 996/Early 997
that hasn't had this performed
FabSpeed X-Pipe Catalytic Converter Upgrade Earlier in 2015 ($3,000)
Pioneer Double Din AVH-X5500BHS Stereo with DVD as well as Review Camera + Porsche OEM Surround Faceplate
($1,200)
GT3 Rear Wing and Front Spoiler with Rear Badge Delete (I estimate it cost the former owner well over $8,000)
MotorSport OEM Porsche Competition Clutch (Installed with IMS, Should Last Life of Vehicle, or a VERY long
time)
Clear Colored Side Markers (IMO Looks Much Sharper than the Orange)
Competition Brake Pads (Stops on a Dime)
Carbon Fiber Laminate on Door Sills & Center Counsel (This is not the cheap peel and stick, although is
removable)
Driver Seat Bottom Bolster, Passenger Seat Bottom Bolster Leather Replaced with OEM Replacement in 2015
($1,200)
After-market Shifter from a Company out of Stutgart that make a much nicer shifter than stock (also shift grid
is backlit LED, looks great at night)
Armrest/Center Storage Drawer Covered in Leather
3M Clear Bra on Quarter Panels
For what it's worth, although this is not a GT3, most people think it is (there's a big difference - including in
cost)...although that was never the intent. It gets compliments everywhere I go, and the car drives phenomenally.
Please note that this is the metallic black (Basault), that was a $2k upcharge over the regular black (looks
awesome at day and night). I'll be the first to admit this car is a bit over-invested in, however, outside normal
maintenance (oil, filter, pads, etc.) - this car has been set up for years of enjoyment. Whoever ends up with this
vehicle is going to be a very lucky buyer!

Revel in the glory of the Porsche 911 engine factory
Fri, Jan 2 2015A flat-six engine pumping away behind the driver defines the Porsche brand for many people, whether they are buying a Boxster, Cayman or 911. If you want to appreciate the sound and fury concentrated in the rear of these German sports cars even more, then take a tour of the company's 911 engine factory in Zuffenhausen, Germany, to see the work that goes into each one. We're long past the days of automotive assembly lines being deafening, dirty affairs, but it's still somewhat shocking to see just how sterile the plant in Zuffenhausen is. Each person wears a matching gray jumpsuit and gloves, and there's not a drop of grease of them. While the components are constantly coming down the line, there doesn't appear to be much of a rush. It's just a slow, steady movement that gives workers time to complete their appointed tasks. At least in this video, the employees don't even seem to talk to each other; the only sound is the hum of the plant or whir of tools. It's transfixing to watch these famous engine slowly come together largely from human hands. News Source: Cars via YouTube Plants/Manufacturing Porsche Technology Performance Videos engine
A spotter's guide to Super Bowl LIV car commercials
Fri, Jan 31 2020Set to kick off on Fox at 6:30 ET on Sunday, February 2, from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, the big game will feature the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Throughout Super Bowl LIV, viewers will see about 50 commercials, each of which costs as much as $5.6 million per 30 seconds, according to AdWeek. Originally, there were more than 77 ad slots, so several companies could be paying well more than $10 million for a single, longer commercial. Numerous car companies have already announced their commercials, or their intentions to show commercials, during the game. Here's a roundup of the ones we know about so far. During the game on Sunday, we'll be livestreaming and adding links to the new commercials as they become available, so check back with us for that post. Audi: E-Tron Sportback Maisie Williams has experience wearing many faces, and in Audi's Super Bowl commercial, she does her best Elsa impression. In the spot, titled "Let It Go," Williams faces the rigorous task of getting through L.A. traffic, but she's alleviated by the comfort of the Audi E-Tron Sportback electric crossover. The commercial is meant to signal the company leaving its gas past behind and moving forward to a sustainable future. Genesis: GV80 Genesis makes its Super Bowl debut with a commercial that will show its all-new SUV, the GV80, to viewers around the world (many of which will be seeing the vehicle for the first time). The ad features Chrissy Teigen and John Legend as the purveyors of "new luxury," while "old luxury" is left for the birds. GMC: Hummer General Motors is bringing back the Hummer nameplate as a premium electric GMC truck. GM says it will have 1,000 horsepower and will be capable of going zero to 60 mph in three seconds. GM brought in NBA legend and Hummer fanboy LeBron James for the debut commercial. Hyundai: Sonata Hyundai is known for bringing in the big-time celebrities for its commercials, and 2020 is no different. A new advertisement called "Smaht Pahk" features John Krasinski, Chris Evans, and Rachel Dratch, all three of whom are from the Boston area. The trio gets into full character as they discuss the new high-tech parking feature on the redesigned 2020 Hyundai Sonata, and David Ortiz makes a cameo at the end. Even when New England isn't in the Super Bowl, New England is in the Super Bowl.
Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms
Tue, 22 Jul 2014In the buildup to the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi delivered an amusing video that worked on the playful rivalry between the German brand and its favorite frenemy, Porsche. We called it sibling rivalry, and at the time, it may have been just that. But just like sibling rivalries, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that's just what seems to be about to happen in the formerly peaceful Volkswagen Group family.
A new report from Automobile calls out the growing animosity between Porsche, who is backed up by Bentley, and Audi, whose primary ally is Lamborghini. No blows have actually been thrown, although there is a fair amount of "he said, she said" going on.
As Porsche tells it, for example, the new global fullsize SUV architecture being developed by Audi isn't up to snuff, citing size and structure issues, as well as an inability to accommodate a wide variety of engines.
