This 1986.5 Porsche 928 has had the engine replaced with a GM ZZ4 Crate Engine and was my daily driver for several years until my circumstances changed such that I had to drive over 100 miles per day. I parked it about two years ago and switched to a more fuel efficient car. This Porsche was getting around 16 or 18 MPG. Most everything worked when the vehicle was parked: Power Locks, Power Windows, Power Seats, CD Player (although one side would occasionally go out because of a poor connection in the harness), all the gauges work: Speed, Tach, Oil Pressure, Temp, Fuel and Geer Selection ("D" does not light up, which is pretty typical on this model and is a relatively easy fix). This sunroof was seldom used and overtime started to bind so it will most likely need to be lubed or fixed. Engine accessories are all readily available GM parts such as alternator, AC Compressor and Power Steering pump. The engine is fueled by an Edelbrock Carb utilizing the factory fuel return. The car set a long time and only started occasionally to ensure that nothing is seized up so the fuel will probably need to be flushed and replaced. I would assume that the carb will need to be cleaned. The battery is also dead.

Exterior Condition: Both the passanger side front fender and driver side rear fender had parking lot dings that were fixed and are in primer. There is also a spot on the rear bumper where the paint started to delaminate. Other than that her body is very straight. I've always liked the looks of 928s so I've kept it looking original.

Interior Condition: I've seen 2 and 3 year old cars in worth shape than this one. When I got the car it had a cracked dash so the dash was stripped and redone. The leather is in good shape with a few scratches here and there but is otherwise in good shape.

This car was a lot of fun to drive- ZZ4s put out in the neighborhood of 350HP. The transmission shifted smoothly although it did have a whine, most likely related to a torque tube that was replaced with aftermarket bearings but I could be wrong.

It's possible that it can be driven away with a new battery and fresh fuel but considering how long it set would recommend that it's towed away and properly serviced first.

It's hard to think of everything at once when it comes to this car so please ask questions, I'll try to answer them all.

Please note: I do not know what the true miles are on this car. I've entered 100K becuase ebay requires that mileage is listed and my guess is that it's well under 100K miles.

Thanks and good luck.

Here's the short list: Le Mans Site Le Mans TV Le Mans Facebook page Le Mans Twitter page FIA WEC Live timing Audi Sport stream Corvette Racing stream Nissan NISMO stream Entry list and grid Spotter's Guide You can watch or listen to the excellent Radio Le Mans, app, Autosport will have hourly updates and a live blog, the ACO has a Le Mans app. Fox will broadcast the event over a combination of Fox Sports 1, 2 and its Fox Sports Go App from 8:30 EST Saturday morning until 9:30 am EST Monday morning. Hit up Reilly Brennan's site for even more options and details like Eurosport and Daily Motion, and good watching – this should be a spectacular race.

2014 Porsche Cayman S

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

A Blue-Blooded Valentine
I need you to understand what it's like to drive this car. I'm not talking about your ability to comprehend the words on this page or process the figures that surround the 2014 Porsche Cayman S, but rather what it feels like to take control of a car conceived, designed, engineered and manufactured to set your prefrontal cortex alight with all the glee a Zippo typically reserves for pine needles marinated in jet fuel. From the instant you put your tail in the driver's seat, the Cayman sets about impregnating your veins with a full and varied spectrum of ludicrous emotion. It's not like taking the family pickup to market, I can tell you that much.
For 2014, the next-generation Cayman features many of the same styling tweaks first displayed on the coupe's drop-top cousin, the Boxster, though a spate of mechanical changes, more power, less weight and better efficiency join the party to further differentiate this model from its predecessor. And while additions like rev-matched downshifts and electronic power steering help push the Cayman into a new era, one fact remains unchanged: This is one of the best driving cars on the market. Period. Bear with me and I'll try to explain exactly why that is.

This man literally loves a Porsche [NSFW]

Mon, May 11 2015

Think you know what "auto erotic" means? Think again. Because one man in Thailand has redefined the term. Caught on security camera footage this guy lurks into a garage, looks over both shoulders, evidently misses the camera, drops trou and has his way with a Porsche Boxster. When the tailpipe proved too hot (or otherwise inhospitable), he moves up to the radiator grille and – ahem – finishes up there. Sadly this isn't even the first time we've come across this particular perversion. We'd urge caution before viewing the video, not only because it's not suitable for a workplace environment, but because once you see it, you're bound to repeatedly blurt out, "Why, man!? Why?"
