Private owner selling my stunning black w/rare factory optioned camel color, all-leather interior, low mileage, 911 Carrera 4S . This car looks like new, inside and out and is exquisitely maintained by a non-smoker and is well cared for.  

For those not familiar with the model 4S, it features all-wheel drive and everything from the Turbo Model but the engine, substituting a very powerful normally aspirated  3.6L, 315HP motor in its place. (Claimed 0-60 in 4.2 to 4.6 sec depending on the article.) Besides the engine, the 4S and the Turbo are the same car. Differentiating from the other Carrera models, the 4S also features the more attractive wide-body, like the Turbo, the larger Turbo brakes, the firmer and lower Turbo suspension, the bigger Turbo internal side radiators, a composite deck lid and a spoiler that pops-up (at about 70mph) and an all-leather interior (seems like every surface is covered in this beautiful leather). BTW: The seats look new. This car features a manual 6 speed transmission.

This 911 4S features many factory options, including: Leather Power Sport Seats with the Memory Package for Driver & Passenger, Bose Sound System, Xenon Headlights, Porsche Crest Wheel Center Caps and many other options standard on a 4S, but only available as adders/expensive options on lessor Carrera models.

I just (less than 75 miles ago) outfitted the car with new, high-speed, Sumitomo performance tires and a new Bosch battery. The A/C is ice cold. I have all the service records. It's been driven mostly highway miles and has never seen snow or rain. My wife says I take care of my Porsche better than her... maybe she's right! Selling because I m going to the dark side and buying a new 2014 Corvette Stingray, for a change of pace, after owning my 3rd Porsche. 

Update 09/29/13: I have had several inquires concerning the Intermediate Shaft Bearing (IMS) on my 996 series Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. In order to alleviate this concern, I have dropped the car off at Michael Stead Porsche, Walnut Creek, CA to have the IMS bearing replaced. They will update it with a Ceramic Hybrid Ball-Bearing Replacement. While the engine is out-of-the car for this, I have instructed them to replace the clutch (even though it probably doesn't need a new clutch) and the main rear seals. I'll need my list price for the car, otherwise I'm keeping it! :) The car will be ready Monday, September 30, 2013. Also, while at the dealer, they will provide a full written "Pre-Purchase Inspection" of the car. 

This is probably one of the best 2003 911 4S Carrera's in the country. It's not going to last and I might change my mind about selling after I get it back from the Dealer's service, you never know...

Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.

VW internal investigation finds 'no evidence' against suspended engineers

Tue, Oct 6 2015

Volkswagen is still working out the chain of events that led to emissions-evading software being installed in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide and deciding who was responsible for the treachery. So far, the German automotive giant's internal investigation hasn't publicly named many suspects, and three suspended executive-level engineers have been found not to be culpable in the wrongdoing, according to an anonymous insider speaking to Reuters. VW knows that the software began being installed in the EA 189 engine in 2008. The internal investigation has found that the emissions-evading tech was created because the powerplant was found to fail US standards. Plus, the diesel mill wasn't meeting cost targets, according to Reuters. The automaker responded by suspending over 10 employees, but three top engineers among them might not have been involved. Those put on leave include Heinz-Jakob Neusser from VW, Ulrich Hackenberg from Audi, and Wolfgang Hatz who led Porsche's research and group-wide engine development. The internal detective work hasn't turned up any evidence against these three men. In addition to VW's own inquires, government investigators in both the US and Germany are taking a serious look into the company's actions, too. So far, the automaker is setting aside about $7.3 billion to pay to fix the vehicles with the evasive software. Depending on what authorities find, the costs could grow quickly. Beyond the financial implications, the scandal has led to a serious shakeup in VW's corporate structure. Related Video:

Porsche releases new images of LMP1 racecar

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Porsche has released another batch of images of its LMP1 competitor preparing for its debut season in 2014. This isn't the first we've seen of the new car, as June saw four images of the new racer undergoing testing. Where those images looked merely like someone taking pics during the test, the 11 new images seen above have all the hallmarks of highly polished PR shots.
That aside, the camo-covered cars still provide another look at what the new LMP1 car will look like when it arrives next season. The taillights follow the example set by Audi, by vertically mounting ultra-thin LEDs on the tips of the rear wing, while the LED headlights sport the four-prong look that Porsche has been pushing of late. Besides those two items, its difficult to make out many details due to the amount of camo.
Porsche's LMP1 effort will be focused on the FIA World Endurance Championship, which will see the revered brand return to the top flights of the 24 Hours Of Le Mans with F1 ace Mark Webber behind the wheel. As we've mentioned before, the German brand has set up a dedicated microsite that will cover its newest racer's progress.
