2001 Porsche Boxster Roadster S Convertible 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
Short Hills, New Jersey, United States
2001 Porsche Boxster 986 S tiptronic being sold as is. This is a very nice car with substantial performance upgrades but it does need 4 items to make it mint. 1. broken right front coil spring 2. faulty key ignition switch 3. left front radiator small/slow leak 4. Paint ( could use a re-paint) I purchased this car for my daughter when she got her license 6 yrs. ago. Unfortunetly it lived through the high school yrs. & several yrs. after with a teenager & her friends. It was never abused or wrecked but it was not loved by a non-car person. It has been sitting for some time unused since she is now in college & does not want it anymore. I have spent 8-10k on brand new high performance upgrades including the following: Bilstein/H&R suspension including complete re-build with H&R over sized sway bars, all bushings ,control arms & links are new, Victor Equipment 18 inch wheels, Stebro exhaust with secondary by pass pipes. Currently it has H&R lowering springs (one snapped). I will include the oem springs. $2000.00 was recently spent on a brand new roof with heated real glass window!!!!!!!!!. 986 Boxsters came oem with plastic rear windows. The engine was replaced at 106,000 mile with a brand new Porsche 3.2 liter S motor from Germany at a cost of $12,000. Motor was $9,000, balance was labor rate cost. So the motor has approx. 65,000 miles on the clock. Interior is in really good shape. Nice leather power seats etc. Includes carbon fiber tip shifter & surround. New Porsche glass wind protector between headrest. The car is quick & handles like its on rails with the upgraded suspension. The body is rough shape with lots of scratches, small dings , stone chips & ripples in the front left fender & rear deck lid as a result of friends sitting on a car made of paper thin aluminum. Girls!!! go figure? |

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
