2001 Porsche 911 / 996 supercharged and heavily modified towards a GT2..with flair! Car is still periodically being
driven, so mileage will go up a little. I am selling this fun weekend car, along with my daily driver BMW M3, as I
just started a new company, so this car gets to go to a new owner!
I bought this car from a guy that had this vision of the best of Porsche you could make (reasonably!). He put into
many of his own design concepts but to be sure, it was built for a unique styling and pure driving performance
-- and not to be a show queen by any means. To him, a Porsche is meant to be driven and this is a perfect
example of a car that you love to drive. Even still, you will get a TON of comments, cheers, etc while
driving

Here is the LONG list of options and modifications done to the car:
Original carbon fiber optioned car -- steering wheel and other trim inside plus Factory Sport seats with
Porsche crest in the headrest
VF Engineering Supercharger kit with intercooler, sensors, DME, injectors, etc and adds 7PSI of boost
Full stainless steel exhaust including sport cats and mufflers
IPD Intake Plenum - IPD 96200
Stage 2 performance clutch and Lightweight flywheel
993 RS rubber mounts / WEVO mounts - not a "solid" mount
IMS upgrade / repair completed
Tons of other maintenance including almost all of the coolant hoses, the coolant tank, belts, water pump, LN
Engineering billet oil filter and magnetic drain plug, etc, etc. Basically, nearly everything that could be done
when the car was apart.
Upgraded to Turbo brakes (Big Reds) front and rear
Coil-over suspension installed - Car was professionally corner balanced and set to GT3 specs
Upgraded sway bars and links
Short shifter kit and linkage
Porsche skid plate
Customizable throttle sensitivity with remote
Boost and AFR gauges installed in A-pillar then wrapped in leather
Pioneer AVIC touch screen deck with navigation, Bluetooth, Rear view camera
Custom mounted garage door opener (homelink)
Valentine V1 radar detector custom mounted and Escort shifter Laser jammer with custom stealth installation
Body kit
o TechArt style front bumper damage from a train track crossing which also cracked the splitter K I included
the pictures from when it was perfect, as well as the current picture with the damage. I pulled off the front
splitter as that was too low for city driving and got caught on everything. I still have it, and it can be repaired
if desired
o GT3 rear bumper
o GT2 rear decklid and spoiler
o Custom, one of a kind, rocker panels
o Turbo quarter panel intake ducts -- installed to look flush/factory
PlastiDip with semi-gloss pearl white. It is not perfect and has a few imperfections but looks good from 10.
If you want to truly paint it, you can just peel it off
Upgraded Bi-xenon headlights (2002+)
Decante LED rear taillights, LED 3rd brake light, LED front daytime running lights (in the bumper intakes)
997 side mirrors painted in a GT3 RSR theme
New 19" wheels with relatively new rubber all the way around (note, the rears are really wide and rub when you
hit large bumps so there is some marring on the rears, which has also put rubber marks around the rear fender)
Aftermarket Tire pressure sensors (tpms)

Watch 1,208 Porsche 911s collect at Silverstone for world record
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Porsche has been spending the majority of 2013 celebrating the 50th birthday of the 911, with its latest stunt taking the German brand to the home of British motorsports, Silverstone. To celebrate, Porsche invited enthusiasts to take their personal 911s on a lap of the former airfield, and boy, did the Porschephiles show up. 1,208 911s took part in the lap around the Grand Prix circuit, making it the largest-ever gathering of the iconic, rear-engined cars.
This wasn't just a celebration of 50 years for the 911, though. Funds raised were channeled towards Hope For Tomorrow, a cancer charity that works with the United Kingdom's National Health Service in operating mobile chemothereapy units that make life just a little bit easier on cancer patients.
Take a look at the long video below, and enjoy the passing of what are likely examples of every 911 model ever built.
Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week.

Investigators blame speed in fatal Paul Walker crash
Wed, 26 Mar 2014When the tragic news first came in that actor Paul Walker had been killed in a car crash, family, friends and fans were left searching for answers. They now have at least one key question answered, with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department blaming "unsafe speed" for the fatal accident.
According to a statement released by the LACSD, "Investigators determined the cause of the fatal solo-vehicle collision was unsafe speed for the roadway conditions". The investigation into the November, 2013 crash determined that Walker's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT had been driven by his business partner and racer, Roger Rodas, at speeds between 80 and 93 miles per hour - less than the 100+ mph initially suspected, but still far too fast for the road on which they were traveling, which carried a posted limit of 45 mph.
In the investigation into the death of the Fast & Furious star and his friend, some people were quick to finger the Porsche in which they were riding as the culprit. The Carrera GT does, after all, have the reputation of being a notoriously difficult car to control. But after an exhaustive investigation, law enforcement officials in California have vindicated the car and dismissed any mechanical fault as the cause of the accident.
