1985 Porsche 944 Base Coupe 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Sebastian, Florida, United States
This car was originally, built by a friend 2 years ago, for a track car, major suspension work...( bilstien shocks, weltmiester 250lb springs, bushings, alignment,camber mods, 3 in front lower, 2 inch rear lower....a very stiff car, that is perfect straight, at 120mph, even if you take your hands, off the wheel.....the engine was also tweeked a bit...Head milled, New valves, timing belt, tensioners,main bearings , water pump etc...runs awesome....a High flow Radiator was installed, belts, Hoses, and a Faster throttle response cam....Although The Guys, at German Specialties, near Tampa, are some seriously talented tech's, they aren't a Body or restoration shop....So the car looks pretty on film, but has paint imperfections, a few small dents, and dings....all in all, a 10 footer....the car was disassembled for paint, and quality materials were definitely used.....its not a concourse job, but it is awesome to drive, brakes, engine, steering, etc....awesome fun Oh yeah....she also has a racing clutch, pressure plate etc, so it is one grabby puppy, but is easy to get used to and only takes a few miles to get the hang of it...as a final note...I put a bit of carbon fiber accent, on the doors, and front splitter, the speakers are all new, and the Cd player is awesome...a very quality sound
the interior, is actually rather nice for its age, front carpets, are nice, rear carpet, is new, rear seats, have no tears, and center console is very well cared for...the dash was cracked all over ,..so I put a cover on it, and the front seats were worn, and a nice expensive pair of sheepskins...fixed em right up....so there you have it....she is a blast to drive, all lights, signals, blowers, etc work nice....the non power steering, is easy, and smooth as can be imagined....the AC delete, surely allows more torque, and the loud ..free flow exhaust, sounds like music any any RPM....I put the Baffled tip on, because it was enough to ring your ears, at speed, and that did the trick for noise.....I bought this car, because my friend, needed money, and thought it would be a good fit for me.....I love it....However,.. Im in need of money....lots of medical bills, disability dragging on 2 years....you get the Idea...The car however never made it to the track....Other projects, finances, and since I knew who built it...I couldn't resist buying her... there are a few interior trims missing..,right door pocket, sunroof access panel...canvas cargo cover...rear belts....that's about it...and the Fog lights....I put new bulbs, headlights, fan sensor..Alt belt...but that's about it...I recently drove her to Jacksonville, and back/ about 500 miles....easy breezy...no problems...there are 16X9 rear, and 16X8 front rims...they are flawless, and new.... a few monthes old...Tires are good, however the fronts are about 1/2 life....that's about it other than the fender When I came out of the store a few weeks ago, some kind soul hit the right fender, and drove away...its not a difficult fix, but I don't have the money, and Ive knocked 500 off the starting price to reflect that.....This is one helluva solid car,and the guy who built her is one talented tech...good luck, and don't hesitate to email me with questions...thanks, |

Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911
Thu, Apr 7 2016Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
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 creates 'symphony' with seven generations of 911
Wed, 02 Oct 2013At Porsche, things are getting a bit wild on the 50th anniversary year of the 911. To celebrate it (again) in yet another inventive way, the automaker has called on the musical talents of seven generations of the rear-engine sports car (please suspend your disbelief, at least for the length of the video, and assume that generation two started in 1974) to perform a song that has eight notes. We're wondering which 911 is pulling double duty...
But before the Porsches are lined up for the short recital, the drivers let loose and drift them inside a hangar. Watch the video below, and tell us in comments which was more impressive: the song or the drifting.
