1999 - Porsche Boxster on 2040-cars
Hayward, California, United States
This 1999 Porsche Boxster will amaze you at multiple levels: It moves very aggressively, but with precision. It draws attention at every boulevard stop, while cruising PCH or on the FRWY at rush hour, while those around you should have both their eyes on the road. I promise . . . you'll get more attention in a week than in my BMW X5 in 6 months. The car runs as designed, the roof does not leak and it stops on a dime. I am selling the car because I have 3 children. I bought it as gift to myself, for turning 50, but it does not fit my family lifestyle. The kids LOVE it and so do I, but I can only drive with one at a time. In addition, I work a few miles from home and as a result, the car sits idle in my garage with an appetite for the road it well deserves. I don't trust it in the company parking lot, I prefer to keep it free of dings, nor do I care for it sitting in the sun with stuff falling from the pine trees. I have pampered it since day one . . . thank YOU!! power seats, power windows, power locks, power rear view mirrors, power roof(top down-top up), cruise control, am/fm radio with cd player, leather seats, 5 speed manual transmission, black inside, outside and above. no accidents, clear title, clean car fax, newer tires, almost new interior floor mats, clear interior wind deflector, clear rear vinyl window with a very smooth idle, acceleration and overall performance. Please ask any questions that come to mind. Dear tuesdaycameras, Presently own a 911s just a great car, saw yours and am very interested, a few questions, the engine, trans,and driveline, any issues? Oil leaks? Any oil spots on garage floor? The trans any issues up and down while shifting? Any issues with the drive train any noises? Maintenance records available? Has a smog inspection been done within the last 90 days? The driver seat can't quite tell but looks cracked? And as far as driving, mostly in the city or open road?-tx - mkerns8gnh Yes, the driver's car seat shows signs of fatigue, but that was done by the previous owner who was handicapped. He drove it for a small time and found it to be uncomfortable. The engine, trans and drive train are free of any issues. No real oil spots on the garage floor, but then you can inspect the garage floor firsthand. There are no formal maintenance records, because I have a private mechanic: I own a 2001 BMW X5, a 2010 Prius, a 2005 VW Passat, a 1965 Chevy Pick Up, 1991 Mercedes, a 1956 Ford Pick up, along with the Boxster in question,so taking them to a Dealer is not a practical option I can afford. The drive train is free of noises and it shifts up and down smoothly free of any odd sounds. No smog has been done recently, but I can provide that upon sale. I have only driven it on the highway to destinations away from home with my 77 year old mother or kids to grab dinner or a frozen yogurt by the beach. I don't waste mileage cruising around locally, instead I use my 1991 Mercedes to do the bulk of my travels. The Mercedes just reached 300,000 miles on Friday October 3rd and you can use this as testimony towards the mechanical condition of the vehicles I own. Your welcome to come by and check it out for yourself . . . thank Y O U !! I have attached some photos of my 1991 300CE Mercedes with a proud 300,000 miles, thanks again for your interest. FREE!

Porsche considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Some automakers make one hardcore version of a sports car and are done with it. Or at least they make one at a time. Think Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (or Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse) or Maserati GranTurismo MC. But not Porsche. It transforms the 911 into the hard-core GT3, the even harder-core GT3 RS, the you've-got-to-be-psychotic GT2 and the do-you-have-a-death-wish GT2 RS. The RS models take things to a further extreme, but what separates GT3 from GT2 models has traditionally been the use of foced induction: GT3s are naturally aspirated, while GT2s go turbo. But that could all be about to change.
According to the rumors making their round of the webosphere, Porsche is considering using a turbocharged engine for the next GT3 RS. The reason is that, as we all know, Porsche has already pushed the 3.8-liter flat-six in the existing GT3 about as far as it can go, and then some. And buyers expect not only a more bare-bones package with the GT3 RS, but also a bit of extra power.
Given that everything seems to be going turbo these days, the move might make some measure of sense, especially if Porsche wants to avoid with the GT3 RS the spontaneous combustion issues it faced with the GT3. But we can't help but wonder why, at that point, it wouldn't just skip the GT3 RS and go straight for the GT2.
Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids
Tue, May 29 2018Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?
Wed, 29 Jan 2014In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
