Sadly I must sell my loved Porsche 996 Targa. An upcoming move to a large city and no parking means I must sell, but I hope it goes to another enthusiast who will take care of the car. It took me a long time to find the color combination of Black over Savannah Beige interior especially in a Targa. I choose the Targa because I wanted an open air feel car with out the soft top convertible and also because the Targa's are the only 996 with the open rear hatchback style window. In summary the car is a 2003 Porsche 911 (996) Carrera 2 Targa with approximately 80k miles on the chassis. Recently due to a faulty coolant pipe the original motor was pulled and a brand new '07 build year 997 3.6L crate motor direct from Porsche was installed by Roock Motorsports. When you buy a new motor from Porsche it comes with everything new attached to the motor so it is a complete swap, not just a bare longblock. The chassis has approximately 80k miles and the new motor has approx. 1500 miles, just broken in! As you would expect with a new motor the engine bay is very clean and the best part is that since it's a newer 997 motor you don't have to worry about the dreaded IMS issue. The interior is exceptionally clean as well. Brakes and tires (Pzero Rossos) have plenty of life and there are no issues with the car. I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country. Car is accident free and I can provide an Autocheck. The beautiful Targa top works perfect and is great on sunny days. Highlights: 2003 Porsche 996 Targa Black exterior Savannah Beige leather interior 6 speed manual Brand new 997 3.6L motor installed (Documentation included) New clutch approx. 3k miles ago 80k miles on chassis, 1500 miles on new motor 997S wheels with Pirelli Rosso tires Garage kept Southern car Non-Smoker, enthusiast owned Car is located in Nashville, TN. Clean title in hand. I'm sure I'm forgetting some things so please email me with any questions. I have additional aftermarket parts like CCW wheels, spacers, EVO intake, and a Fabspeed exhaust that I will make a great deal on for a potential buyer. Thanks for looking. Please email if interested. |

Porsche 911 GT3 RS spec sheet leaked, promises 500 hp
Mon, Feb 23 2015Axis of Oversteer has three pages of what's purported to be the spec sheet for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and it's got a few bolded items noting key differences with the already spectacular 911 GT3. Prime among them is its output, pegged at exactly 500 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque, which looks at first blush to be a minor bump: just 25 hp and 14 lb-ft over the GT3, and the redline drops 200 rpm to 8,800 rpm. If the document is accurate, though, there will be a hefty dose of weight loss to make the most of it. The bodyshell and doors are aluminum, carbon fiber reinforced plastic is used for those vented front fenders (the vanes are plastic), the front trunklid, the rear engine cover, and the rear wing, while the roof is made of magnesium and the side windows are polycarbonate. The bucket seats, door entry guards, and other interior trim pieces are also fashioned from CFRP, and it gets lightweight door panels with pull-loops. Elsewhere around the coupe, the body grows wider by 50 millimeters in front and 30 mm in back over a track that's 36 mm wider. There's a pit-lane speed limiter for track days, tinted taillights, an optional Clubsport package with a six-point seatbelt, and GT3 RS logos everywhere. It's looking more and more like this car was developed to define the word "epic."

Porsche Australia racing chief dies in crash
Wed, Dec 10 2014The motor racing community in Australia was saddened today to learn of the passing of Jamey Blaikie, a longtime racing administrator and former motorsport director for Porsche in Australia. A former racing driver in his own right, Blaikie was better known for his instrumental role in starting the Porsche Carrera Cup in Australia back in 2003. He left Porsche Cars Australia just last year to pursue other interests, including running an Aston Martin entry in the GT Asia series. Blaikie was in Fiji reportedly undertaking charity work there when his rental car collided with a truck, prematurely ending his life at just 52 years old. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and the motorsport community Down Under, where he'll surely be missed.
Alonso wants an NSX, but did Honda block him from Le Mans?
Tue, Jan 20 2015One of the biggest changes in store for the 2015 Formula One World Championship will see Fernando Alonso moving back to McLaren. That means he'll be driving under Honda power for the first time, after spending the bulk of his career driving for Renault and Ferrari. And being Honda's new poster child, as the two-time World Champion is fast discovering, has its advantages and its drawbacks. According to the latest reports, Alonso had been negotiating a clause in his contract with McLaren that could have seen him driving a Porsche 919 Hybrid at Le Mans this year, but Honda reportedly stepped in at the last minute and scuttled the plan. The drive would have been Alonso's first in the famous 24-hour race, after having had the honor of waving the flag at La Sarthe last summer. In one of the wilder rumors that emerged during the prolonged silence over his move for this season, the Spaniard was also linked to a potential return for Ferrari to Le Mans. That prospect came to naught, and now the Porsche deal has been wheeled into the garage, as well. The upcoming F1 season is expected to be one of transition, adjustment and development for McLaren and Honda, but the Japanese automaker's involvement in his hiring may not be all bad news for Alonso. Following the reveal of the new Acura NSX, Alonso tweeted "You still don't know, but one day we will be together..." followed by a series of heart-eyed smiley-face emoticons and accompanies by images of Honda's new supercar. The implication is that the two-time World Champion is expecting to get his talented hands on an NSX of his own, and we can certainly see how Honda would appreciate the imagery of Fernando driving around in its flagship. Even if it doesn't, though, we're sure McLaren would be glad to hook him up with a company car of its own – though Lewis Hamilton encountered some trouble securing (a very specific) one for himself. Even discounting the front-running F1 machinery he's been tasked with piloting on track to an impressive 32 career wins, Alonso has had some lustworthy company cars at his disposal over the years. At Renault, he had a Megane RS to drive, and during his last stint at McLaren, he had an SLR 722. But since signing with Ferrari, he's been given the keys to FCA models as varied as a Ferrari FF, a special 599 GTO, a Maserati GranCabrio, a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and an Abarth 695... and those are just the ones we know about.
