2002 Porsche 911 Targa on 2040-cars
Old Monroe, Missouri, United States
This is a very special Porsche. This Targa is a very unique 2002 Arctic Silver Porsche 911 Carrera Targa with only
13,000 miles.
This Targa came with the factory Technic Package and has been very tastefully customized with body and mechanical
parts to replicate a 2002-2004 996 GT3. This was done with a Jacquemond Aero Body Kit and GT3 rear wing, upgraded
red powder coated calipers and H&R Sport lowering springs with proper upper strut mount kit. The only thing that is
missing is the GT3 wheels.The body kit was installed by Mirror Finish in Oklahoma City who specialize in Porsche and BMW.
The workmanship on the install is excellent and the quality of the body kit is so high that it looks completely OEM
and the paint is a perfect 100% match. This car handles better than my stock 911 Cabriolet and actually has a
smoother more compliant ride, even with the lowering. In addition it has an Evolution Motorsports INTK996 Induction
System and Stage 1 Computer Tune done by Bob Dumont, Porsche Only Service also in Oklahoma City.
The Targa also has a custom audio system that was done without any modifications to the dash with an Alpine AM/FM,
MP3, SiriusXM Satellite and JL Audio 4 channel Full Range Amp and JL 6.5” 3-way speaker system with a JL 10”
Subwoofer. You can see the subwoofer install in the pictures. It looks like it was done at the factory, just
beautiful.
At 11,400 miles I had the IMS BEARING UPGRADED to the TuneRS Centers for Porsche DOF (direct oil feed) bearing. It
was more expensive than others but to me, offers the absolute best engineering of all.

Porsche revisits its remarkable SC East African Safari rally car
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Porsche and motorsports just seem to go hand-in-hand. The brand has defined itself by its ability to compete on the track with the concept that racing bred better road cars. While we are used to seeing 911s speeding along circuits around the world, the rear-engine icon's success in rallying is somewhat less well known. The Porsche Museum aims to fix that by highlighting a 911 SC that competed in the 1978 East African Safari Rally.
The 911 rally car definitely projects a '70s vibe. You wouldn't see too many racecars with a pink brush bar sliding through the stages these days, but it looks amazing. Its bank of spotlights and two, giant, hood-mounted horns definitely give away the car's purpose. Best of all, that fantastic Martini livery defines the looks of Porsche racers from this era.
The 911 SC performed well in the East African Safari Rally, but some suspension damage meant that this particular one never raced again. It's been a part of the Porsche Museum ever since. Scroll down to learn a little more about one part of the brand's off-road legacy.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS revealed in patent photos
Fri, 01 Aug 2014Porsche has been taking its time developing the most hardcore 911 models for the latest 991 chassis. While the GT3 has been on the market for a little while, it suffered from some teething issues. The 911 GT3 RS is certainly on the radar since being spotted testing, but it's always better to get a look at a new car without all of the camo to hide the coolest parts. Thankfully, Car in the UK has some patent photos of the RS ahead of its debut, and they show off one mean-looking 911.
The first thing that you notice about the RS is that Porsche clearly isn't afraid to rework the latest 911's shape for its track-focused version. Each piece is slightly resculpted to squeeze the most out of it. Up front, the air dam has the same shape to the earlier photos. They also both highlight the upcoming model's tiny air inlet at the tip of the hood, the massive intakes in the rear fenders and general design of the rear wing with a ducktail underneath. The bubbled roof is much clearer here, where it was disguised in spy shots. You can also spot the slashing fender gills behind the front wheels that are a completely new feature.
The GT3 RS is the ultimate naturally aspirated 911 for the street, but according to Car, Porsche aims to take that even farther with the latest model. If these are the looks, then it's working. Unfortunately, the new version's powerplant remains a mystery. Though, given all the changes to the bodywork, the engine is almost surely getting tweaked over the 475-horsepower GT3. The RS is rumored to hit the road and be screaming down the track in 2015.
Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Jack Olsen has built himself a lair called the 12-Gauge Garage, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II. Although it looks like one of Stuttgart's models from the sixties or seventies, it is actually four decades of 911 gubbins from 1965 to 2000 thrown under one shell: the lightweight body is from 1972, the transaxle from 1977, the brakes from a 1986 Turbo, the engine from 1995, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and it's got 272 horsepower to get it going, but it's still a pure Porsche, Olsen saying, "If you stop thinking about what you're doing, it will remind you in very abrupt ways."
Olsen said the real point has been to have one car that does it all, so he does everything in his 911 from neighborhood runs to 7-11 to track racing - he loads the aero bits in the car and bolts them on trackside. And he says he'll never stop tweaking the suspension.
You can watch and hear the rest in Olsen's words in the video below.
