2006 Porsche Cayman S on 2040-cars
Crowell, Texas, United States
Feel free to email: zoniazbbonfiglio@clubhonda.net .
Let me start out by saying that this is an amazing ride. To my knowledge, it has never been on a track and I feel
confident based on what my mechanic has told me that most if not all the miles are adult driven. This car has been
babied. I didn't do any of the modifications outside of the new rims and tires. Nearly everything I know is due to
research on the original owner and from the professional appraisal I had done for insurance purposes. Including the
purchase price of the car over $160,000 has been invested in this beauty. I can't go anywhere without people taking
pictures and asking me about it. This is a heavily modified 2006 Porsche Cayman Techart GTS (Originally a stock
Cayman S) with LOTS of upgrades both for looks and performance. This car has been used as a model for advertising
some of the custom parts listed below. This car has been professionally appraised and insured for nearly $60,000
(See attached picture...I can provide more appraisal pics if needed). I am going to to my best to list all of the
features of this car and anything else I feel a potential buyer should know. I copied and pasted all of the typical
Cayman S options at the bottom and changed what fit my car but I'm going to manually list all of the nontypical
upgrades here:
Here are the performance upgrades.
1. X51 3.8L Cold Air Intake Upgrade-See Pics ($4000)
2. TPC X51 Clutch/Lightweight Flywheel ($2800)
3. Softronic Tune (Depends on shop but costly)
4. Underdrive Lightweight Pulley ($200)
5. Lowered and upgraded suspension using Techart lowering springs (I don't believe it has coilovers) (3 inches of
clearance at the lowest $3500) The suspension is very stiff and the car handles like a go kart.
6. ARP Stainless Steel Exhaust with supporting software and "Sound box" muffler tip added for aggressive sound (see
video above)
Here are the appearance upgrades that I can think to put:
1. Techart Front Bumper Cover ($4,500)
2. Techart Hood Badge ($330)
3. Techart Mirror Caps (Carbon Fiber) ($400)
4. Techart Ultrabright multifunction LED running lights ($1500)
5. Techart GTS Rear Spoiler with Carbon Fiber ($3500)
6. GT3 Grill ($50)
7. Porsche Seatbelt Covers ($10)
8. Kenwood DNX6140 Touchscreen Navigation/Bluetooth/DVD Player and Back Up Camera with remote (Originally
$749...not sure now)
9. Brand New 20" Victor Zehn Staggered Wheels ($1300)
10. 245/30ZR20 low profile Michelin Super Sport Tires with lots of tread life left (Over 90-95%-$1000)
11. Custom Painted Roof ($500)
12. Custom Clear and Acrylic Engine Cover ($650)
13. 2009+ rear bumper with LED Tail Lights ($1000+)
14. LED Pilot Sidemarkers ($100)
15. LED Engine Lighting ($50)
16. Porsche Red Brake Calipers ($2200)
17. Brand New Prismatic Headliner (Just installed 06/29) ($300)
18. HID conversion foglight kit ICE HID bulb kit ($200)
19. Xtec license plate LEDs ($20)

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper
Mon, Jul 22 2019The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.
Automakers paying Chinese dealers for lower-than-expected sales
Sat, Jan 10 2015The Chinese dealers vs. foreign manufacturers story won't quit. It began with a story on the struggles faced by FAW-Toyota joint venture dealers, with supposedly 95 percent of the showrooms losing money, and 10 percent of them doing so poorly that they'd have to exit the business. The problem is mandated sales targets, most set when the country's economy was racing. Now that things have slowed, China's dealers are swimming in unsold cars and the costs to keep them. In the case of FAW-Toyota, dealers asked Toyota to hand over 2.2 billion yuan ($355 million) to help address the situation. That was followed by a report noting the issues that Honda, BMW, and Nissan dealers are having with the same issue, revealing that the Chinese Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) had taken the highly unusual step of writing to the Chinese government to complain. Now Reuters reports that CADA is not only pressing its case even harder, it's being open about it: it announced that BMW agreed to pay dealers 5.1 billion yuan ($820 million) to alleviate poor profits last year. Unnamed sources said Audi has thrown 2 billion yuan into the kitty for subsidies, and Daimler has contributed "about 1 billion yuan" to its dealers. The battle isn't just about 2014, but how business will be run in 2015 as well: Chinese Porsche dealers have requested the automaker lower its 2015 target of 64,000 cars, which would be a 40-percent increase on its 2014 sales of 46,931 vehicles. One analyst called it "shocking" that the CADA has taken its fight public, while CADA comments continue to imply that dealers have been railroaded to the cliff's edge without recourse. "Due to the difference in status," it's deputy secretary said, "individual dealers are not willing to, or don't dare to, talk frankly with the carmakers...." Both parties need one another, so they'll figure out a way to make it work – but that could mean acknowledging the Chinese market is behaving more like a mature one, not an emerging one.
