1997 Porsche Boxster Race / Track Day Car. Jake Raby Flat 6 / LN Engineering Engine.
Vehicle has minimal use since built 4 years ago by Scan Automotive Inc. (www.scanautomotive.com), and only used as a DE / Lapping day car, and for one hill climb race. Never raced wheel-to-wheel. Zero body / tub damage. Approximately 20 hours on all parts in build. Every single part used was new at time of build, and all regular maintenance items were replaced at the time. The car is street registered in BC / Canada and can be insured as a road car (helpful if you want to keep your car insured properly in case of the 'worst'). Can be driven on the road with the appropriate tires, but it's not really a road car any more. Built to be a fun to drive, friendly, reliable and safe track day car with no expenses spared. For a BC buyer, the car is insured as a 'modified' vehicle and as such, is cheaper to insure and has greater value coverage than as a normal '97 Boxster in the event of a loss. Since it's a registered street car, I'm sure importing to the US wouldn't be much difficulty as it's easy to establish ownership. The car is a Canadian market / registered car. Cost to replicate would be massive, Asking $40K USD. * Car was built from an exceptionally clean and original, local Vancouver car with approximately 43000 Miles on it at the time. Originally black, but painted Lamborghini Grigio Telesto after the first couple driving events (was WAAY too hot inside with the black paint, looked really mean though). * Cage was built by Specialty Engineering along with wing upgrights to mount 996 GT3 Cup wing * Second stock decklid without wing included (black), with hood pin catches already fitted. Easy swap. * Doors have been opened up and removed standard glass / window regulators, have lexan windows for transport in open trailer. * Seat mounting modified to floor on driver's side to lower seat position (Best for taller drivers) * Includes one set of 'gutted' light assemblies and a set of working headlamps (with somewhat burned lenses) * 996 Front bumper with lower spoiler * GT3 Cup retractable tow hooks front and rear * Factory aluminum hard top. Can be driven on track with top on or off. * Jake Raby built 3.6 M96 engine based on a 3.2 Boxster S featuring full suite of LN / Flat 6 Innovations improvements. Cost of building the engine was $35K USD. Makes over 300hp with short runner Boxster S intake manifold, would make more if 996 3.4 intake manifold was used. Barely 1000 miles on the engine total. * Oil Accumulator with both manual and electronic valves * New clutch and flywheel installed (stock), will include AASCO single mass flywheel with approx 2 hours of use. * Fabspeed rear exhaust and Dansk headers * Air Conditioning still fitted and functioning (great if you plan to drive on the street at all, or when sitting in the pits at the track on a hot day!) * Third radiator fitted * Several wheel / tire sets available at additional cost. Vehicle comes with one set of 18" Wheels (either Fikse FM 10 black anodized or OZ Alleggerita HLT wheels) with new Hoosier R6 tires and one set of 17" original Boxster wheels with Hoosier rain tires. * Moton Club Sport shock absorbers with H&R Race springs / tender spring package * Mode rear upper shock mounts * Tarett front upper shock mounts? * H&R sway bars front and rear * GT3 lower control arms front and rear * Tarett rear toe links with locking plates * 996 Brake calipers front and rear (same as Boxster S, but black instead of red calipers). * Goodridge brake hoses * Transmission in great order, has Quaife ATB differential installed. Early Boxster transmission had shorter ratios than later 5 speed versions. * Wevo SS engine and transmission mounts * GT3 Shift console with Tarett console to raise shifter up to steering wheel * OMP Steering wheel with quick dis-connect * Recaro Profi SPG XL seat currently fitted, but could potentially swap to another seat better suited to new owner if required. On sliders. * Schroth GT3 HANS harness fitted. Have tabs on cage to mount harnesses for both driver and passenger side * Rennline track mat for driver floor. * GT3 Euro seat in passenger side NOT included in purchase, and not available. |

Porsche 911 GT2 RS vs. Mercedes SLS AMG Black in battle of who can shred more rubber
Fri, 04 Apr 2014We might be looking at the end of an era in European performance models. Mercedes-Benz is doing away with the SLS in favor of a rumored smaller and cheaper SLC, and Porsche has said that a new 911 GT2 isn't necessarily a sure thing, which means another 911 GT2 RS is even farther away. In its latest video, Evo's Jethro Bovingdon pits the ultimate versions of these German sports coupes against each other and finds two of the fastest cars the magazine has ever lapped around its track.
In one corner, there is the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series that sits as the pinnacle of the company's halo model. It relies on the classic setup of a V8 mounted in front powering the rear wheels. On the other side, there is the 911 GT2 RS with a turbocharged flat-six mounted at the back, spinning the rear wheels. It was conceived to be Porsche's ultimate expression of a turbocharged 911, and while it's a few years old, Bovingdon shows that it's up to the task of racing a more modern rival.
Both of these rear-wheel-drive monsters are more than capable of some fantastically smoky power-slides, but they also show how great the last generation of sports cars was. Scroll down to check out the video.
Evo rediscovers true love in the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Wed, Jun 3 2015Evo is on record as loving the Porsche 911 GT3. In fact the only time the GT3 hasn't won its Car of the Year award was when there wasn't a new one to contend for top honors, and in 2009 (when the 997.2 GT3 lost out to the Lotus Evora). By all accounts, then, Evo ought to love the new GT3 RS. Fortunately that's just what the British enthusiast's publication has gotten its hands on for this latest video. After Porsche went a bit softer with the current 911 GT3, the RS has been toughened up to greet the most hardcore of Zuffenhausen's faithful. It was revealed just a few months ago at the Geneva Motor Show, with a 4.0-liter atmospheric boxer-six driving 500 horsepower and 338 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels – exclusively through a dual-clutch transmission. That last bit might be enough to make the snobbiest of purists scoff, but it wasn't enough to keep Chris Harris from loving it. Find out what his former compatriots at Evo have to say from this first drive.
Porsche introduces Boxster and 911 Black Editions

Porsche dealers in the US are now taking orders on the Black Editions, with deliveries set to commence at the end of July.
