Porsche 911 997 on 2040-cars
Silver Spring, Maryland, United States
I am reluctantly listing my low mileage Mezger powered Basalt 2009 997 Turbo. I am a long time Porsche owner, enthusiast, and mechanic. Before I go any further this car does have a $55k factory replacement engine due to a broken timing chain, quite possibly caused by the ridiculous number of over revs logged by the ecu. I personally installed the new engine at 16k miles and purchased the car with 17.5k miles. I have completely torn the car down, inspected, serviced, and reassembled everything mechanically. The entire suspension has been disassembled, inspected, and serviced. The suspension while very aggressive, is equally agile and responsive while being very predictable and compliant. I spent a lot of time working with the shock settings, and more importantly reducing the charge pressures making them much more street friendly then their original design and intention. This car is a stunning performer being leaps and bounds above the standard turbo. ** The paint shows extremely well with the only significant blemishes being nicks and chips on the front splitter, and around the leading edges of the front rocker and rear bumper (see pics). The installer failed to have the Techart provided protective clear film attached on those sections. A little time and creativity would quickly repair this. If it were not for the car being a metallic based black I certainly would have addressed it, however; it really doesn't stand out as it would with any other color so I decided to leave it alone for now. Aside from that the paint and body are in amazing condition, you will not be disappointed, no one has ever been yet! The basalt black has become one of my personal favorites as it really accentuates and exaggerates the curves of the Turbo body and changes slightly in color with light, a must see in person as pictures just can't do it justice. Improvements and upgrades.styling:-GT2 RS seats (full leather)-HRE 590R three piece wheels with Dunlop racemaxx tires-Techart aero kit including rear wing element-Techart GT3 carbon front bumper vent insert-Techart carbon roof spoilerSuspension and Brakes:-JRZ RS Pro coil overs with Eibach 500/600 springs-Brembo GT 380mm front and 380mm rear brake conversion-Brembo type III front rotors -RSS control arms, links, and mounts-TPC Racing sway barsEngine and Performance:-Brand new Factory replacement Mezger engine -AWE Tuning 650S headers, hi-flow cats, and exhaust-GT3 throttle body-Softronic 650 hp 93 oct tune-TPC Racing intercoolers (largest on market)-Werks1 (champion motorsport) carbon plenum-Werks1 carbon y-pipe (needs repair but goes with car)-IDP aluminum y-pipe-Werks1 carbon air intake -ERP triple disc clutch and LWFW assembly.The car is rock solid and fully emissions compliant, no lights, warnings or errors.The Softronic software was used in favor of the original AWE/GIAC software because it provides a more progressive boost map and better throttle modulation allowing the car to be much more driveable on the bottom end of the power band. No expense was spared on the build of this car and would cost several 10's of thousands to duplicate, anyone familiar with these cars knows the costs of the parts and mods listed above. There are no excuses and the next owner will surely not be dissapointed. I'm only selling because I want to get back into an aircooled before the prices get to far out of reach.

Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]
Sun, 07 Apr 2013Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.
Paul Walker's accident due to 'speed, and speed alone'
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Following an investigation into the crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and driver Roger Rodas, an unnamed law enforcement source told the Associated Press that there were no signs of mechanical failure on the Porsche Carrera GT that was destroyed in the accident.
The report from The Huffington Post claims the officer in question blamed "speed, and speed alone" in the fatal accident. The same report ruled out the presence of debris in the road, which may have caused Rodas to lose control of the V10-powered super car.
Engineers from Porsche are traveling to California to investigate the accident with the help of the Carrera GT's on-board data recorder. Until then, investigators won't speculate on the car's speed at the time of the wreck.
Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
