*RE-LISTED WITH MORE DETAIL AND PRICE REDUCED
You are looking at a marvelous 2001 Porsche 911 (996) All-Wheel-Drive, 6 Speed Manual Twin Turbo in Lapis Blue
Metallic with supple leather Graphite Grey interior. This Porsche has Recaro memory heated seats (Logo on
headrest), small carbon fiber package, Navigation, Porsche Stability Management System (PSM), Suede headliner, GT2
facelift front bumper, and highway driven very low 52,714 miles. Also included are factory installed Valentine-One
radar detector (built into rearview mirror) and laser diffuser (LED indicators next to hazard lights). As you can
see from the original window sticker, this car was driven off the Manhattan show room at the time for $122,705, and
I am the 3rd owner. This car is in used condition with a few (about 4) small dings (I can refer a paintless dent
removal guy) and a few chips on the windshield. I haven't replace the windshield, because as they mention on the
forums, this glass is installed by a precision robot, so if the chips are not distracting (they aren't to me), and
pass inspection (which this does with flying colors), don't replace it. Nevertheless, this is a head turner and
without doubt, the fastest car I have ever owned.
You won't be disappointed and will not find any Porsche Turbo within this asking price range.
*This car is in USED condition, but not ABUSED! Well taken care of and could be showroom with some TLC.
Mechanically the car is perfect, no strange noises like ticking from the engine, and the clutch is very strong. I
suspect the throwout bearing was upgraded but I have no proof, besides it grabs what RPM's you throw at it.
Upgraded:
Only modest modifications were done:
-True GT2 front bumper (Needs some TLC, otherwise amazing and rare)
-Flashed ECU to allow 1.2 Bar creating around (never dynode) 490 HP.
-Single Air intake converted to dual Carbon Fiber intake with K&N filter.
-HID Head Lights
The Used Factor:
-The front GT2 bumper cover should be repainted as the previous owner did not have flex additive to the paint, and
a little bump caused flaking and webbing.
-As mentioned before, the windshield has 2 out-of-main-view chips
-A few dints that could be removed with a painless professional (no cracked paint). Honestly, I couldn't even take
a picture of them, the camera wouldn't capture because they are too small.
-Typical of the age, the carbon fiber steering wheel and the cover over the center thermostat gauges have some
hairline cracks. This does not effect the strength and personal opinion is barely noticeable.
I drive the car once a week (Never in winter), as a car such as this, needs to be driven. I am in no rush, simply
looking for a new home for my baby.

Topiary Joe sculpts the ultimate in green cars

Sat, Mar 15 2014

Efficient cars are all the rage these days, but Joe Kyte has made a business of crafting some of the coolest green cars around – literally. Kyte is better known by his nickname Topiary Joe, and in addition to being a talented artist, he is also a real gearhead. Kyte has been creating topiaries for the last 20 years. It began when he was marketing greenhouse products to Walt Disney World and saw their plant sculptures. He realized that he could do that and since then, has done around 3,400 pieces. His most intriguing creations are the rolling sculptures that move and turn. Prices for those start at about $18,000 and can be as high as $30,000. While, the wheels are machine-bent, Kyte said all the other parts are done with a table vice and a Lincoln Electric arc welder. Topiary Joe is taking the Porsche (pictured above) to Palm Beach later this year to sell or says he may donate it to Porsche North America. If you really want it, the sculpture is currently on Craigslist for sale for $24,000. Topiary Joe has also had a life-long love of cars. "I was driving my first MG Midget before I was 14," he told Autoblog. He grew up in Oak Ridge, TN, where the Manhattan Project was partially developed. He says the town was full of recent college grads driving Mercedes, and he caught the bug. His automotive mentor was a nuclear physicist who taught him to repair and restore the Mercs. Kyte has completed commissions for Sandals Resort, Dreamworks, Absolut, and many more. Among his favorite creations is the Ferrari that he created at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that is now exhibited at the airport each year before the race. Check out his website for a wider look at his work.

The 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years

Mon, Apr 22 2024

Car maintenance has got to be one of the least fun things you can do with your free time, right behind going to the dentist and filing your taxes. However, depending on the brand you buy, your time spent at the shop could be much more than you bargained for. Consumer Reports’ new study on the most- and least-expensive-to-maintain car brands found that European car companies are most likely to break your wallet with costs nearly five times that of the automakers at the other end of the spectrum. Land Rover had the highest ten-year maintenance costs, at an average of $19,250. Porsche was second worst with $14,090 in costs. 10 car brands most expensive to maintain over 10 years: Land Rover: $19,250 Porsche: $14,090 Mercedes-Benz: $10,525 Audi: $9,890 BMW: $9,500 Volvo: $9,285 Infiniti: $8,500 Acura: $7,800 Mini: $7,625 Subaru: $7,200 The Euro brands at the “top” of this list arenÂ’t all that surprising. Land Rover has consistently landed as one of the most expensive vehicle brands to maintain for years now, though Porsche is generally viewed as being one of the more solid performance brands. That could suggest that some models donÂ’t always require more repairs, but the fixes they do need are significantly more expensive. Tesla, Buick, and Toyota were the three cheapest to maintain car brands, with 10-year maintenance costs of $4,035, $4,900, and $4,900, respectively. Consumer Reports noted that these numbers could be slightly skewed due to the fact that some automakers offer free maintenance for the first few years of ownership, and all companies cover their new vehicles for at least a few years after the purchase. Routine maintenance is a great way to avoid costly repairs over time, as itÂ’s much cheaper to catch a problem before it starts causing other issues. Check your oil, rotate your tires, and avoid driving like a wild person, and youÂ’ll likely fare much better than others, even if you own one of the scarier-to-maintain brands.

Porsche 911 GT3 named Performance Car of the Year by Road & Track

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The Porsche 911 GT3 is a very, very good performance car. Yes, we know this is like saying fire is hot and a shovel to the head hurts. What's different about this proclamation, then? Well, we bring up the 911 GT3's inherent goodness because our friends at Road & Track have named it their 2015 performance car of the year.
This is, our joking aside, a big accomplishment for the 911 GT3, due largely to the field of cars it beat out. There were many equally track-focused wonders in attendance, including the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and Dodge Viper SRT TA, as well as more capable everyday vehicles, like the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, BMW M3 and Ford Mustang GT.
But it was the 475-horsepower, rear-engined track star that R&T fell for, with editor-in-chief Larry Webster calling out the Porsche's ridiculous, howling, 9,000-rpm redline, while other editors cited its phenomenal handling character.
