Porsche introduced the new generation 911 called the 996 in 1999. This is the first year of the water cooled
Porsche 911. The 996 motors and the Boxter motors during the first four years of manufacture proved to be good
motors except for the failure of the Intermediate shaft bearing. The reason for the failure was because of a
design flaw of the part by Porsche. They made this a sealed bearing, which over time and use, spun the lubrication
out of the bearing, and because it was sealed, oil passing through the motor did not provide additional lubrication
to the intermediate shaft bearing. Once lubrication was absent; the ball bearings would grind against the other
ball bearings and a bearing failure would occur, putting metal pieces through out the motor effectively destroying
the motor. Do not consider buying a 996 Porsche unless the Intermediate shaft bearing has been up graded! This
being said; this car has just had this up graded Intermediate shaft bearing replaced two weeks ago. At the same
time, because the clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing has to be removed to install the new Intermediate
shaft bearing; a brand new High Performance Sacs Clutch, Pressure Plate, and throw out bearing has also been
installed in this car by a Porsche Factory certified mechanic. (Receipts available with purchase of this vehicle.)
This 996 Porsche is a Carrera 4 which signifies that it is a 4 Wheel Drive vehicle. This car is a three owner car,
with all maintenance records since new with the vehicle. The car was sold new here in Knoxville by Harper's
Porsche Audi
for over $82,000.00 in 1999. Original window sticker is included in the sale. This car has never been wrecked,
and has a clean Car Fax, also provided with the sale of this vehicle. The vehicle now has just a couple of miles
over 46K. Since buying the car last August, I have spent over 10K doing a complete re-body and paint to make the
car look like a 2011 GT3RS. Modifications include; GT2 Front bumper cover with real Carbon Fiber accents on front
spoiler lip. Turbo lower side valance's on both sides. 997 Style GT3 Wing with real Carbon Fiber on Wing Blade. I
also bought a brand new set of OEM 19"Turbo wheels (8.5" Front 11" Rear) and had them Powder Coated Guards Red.
Less than 100 miles since mounting on the car. Absolutely NEW with NO curb rash at all. Pirelli P-Zero tires with
90% + tread remaining. ( 235-35-19 Front - 285-30-19 Rear) To complement the look of a $200K Porsche GT3RS; I
also installed a New High performance Cold Air Intake Inhaler in Yellow to match the exterior, and a brand new
Chrome Cat Back Exhaust System, eliminating the stock mufflers. (The original mufflers will be included with the
vehicle.) Additional maintenance just completed on the vehicle includes. New Alternator, New Battery. Oil change, 4
Wheel alignment. The vehicle also has brand new set of 4 Lloyd Floor Mats with Custom designed logo's. Everything
works as it should; all gauges, power seats, radio, stereo, sunroof. No engine lights with the exception of the
wing light for the rear wing comes on after driving the car over 70 MPH for some time.
That is because the power wing was removed to put on the 997 GT3 fixed wing. ( Original power wing included with
sale.) The 996 GT3RS was actually produced by Porsche in 2003 and 682 were produced but none were sold in the
United States.

Super Bowl car commercials: Follow along as we riff on them live
Sun, Feb 2 2020Join Autoblog editors Sunday starting around 6:30 p.m. ET as we react to all of the car commercials during the game. We know Hummer, Porsche, Hyundai and others will have splashy ads, and naturally, there's usually a few surprises. Whether you're a Chiefs or 49ers fan — or don't care about football — the commercials are always a highlight. And for us, the car spots are the most intriguing. Weigh in with your own thoughts in the comments section. Let's kick off.  FIRST QUARTER Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore liveblogs the first quarter. F9 We'll count this as a car commercial. The latest edition of the Fast & Furious looks like it well, will have cars. We'll punt on further comment. PORSCHE I like it. Creative. Sort of a Night at the Museum feel. The guards stage a theft and then a car chase. The Taycan looked good. Get fired up — the future for Porsche is electric. The spot is meant to illustrate how fun that can be. I don't need any convincing.  SECOND QUARTER Associate Editor Byron Hurd is liveblogging the second quarter. HYUNDAI Hyundai checked in super early with their Sonata "Smaht Pahk" commercial, which manages to score points for being both cute and clever while also being a fairly good commercial in a vacuum. We saw it last week, so there were no surprises here, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. Fun note: If you go to the Sonata landing page on Hyundai's web site, you can choose "plain old English" or "the Boston way" for your language; the latter will translate the page. Enjoy. FORD Hi ho, West Coast Editor James Riswick here. Apparently, the guys in Detroit didn't get the Mustang Mach E ad featuring Idris Elba and a whole boat load of awesome old Mustangs. Pretty sure it's bound to be viewed the exact same way as the car itself: traditionalists will be aghast, while non-car people will be intrigued by a new, all-electric, crossover version of one of the few cars they've heard of. GENESIS They're coming more rapidly now. Genesis gets some love thanks to Chrissy Teigen and John Legend; this was another known quantity, but Hyundai's luxury brand managed another solid entry here thanks to its choice of stars. Teigen and Legend got the chance to throw back to the latter's "Sexiest Man Alive" honors, which Teigen often teases him for. Another solid all-around spot. GMC/HUMMER Are there just no surprises left? Don't tell me; I know the answer. LeBron James fronts the revived Hummer, which will be an EV sold as a GMC.
J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
Overnight action from the 24 Hours of Le Mans
Sun, 23 Jun 2013We won't go into a recap here, but there are still leading positions being fought for in all classes - it's so close that leads are changing when a car goes into the pits. We'll let the recap wait until the end of the race, so for now enjoy some shots from last night's action at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
