2006 PORSCHE 911 Carrera S 3.8L. 94K miles on this this fully customized 997.1 beauty!! Classic Guards Red color
with Sand Beige interior. Since the very beginning, the idea for this project was to create a poor man’s 997.1
GT3 or a 997.1 GTS (which never existed) so to speak. As an homage to the CS 911s from the 70’s and 80’s, I
call this car my 997.1 CS, hence the badge. This car started out as a stock 997.1 Carrera S 3.8L. I bought the car
with approximately 91K miles on it. It was in a good condition for its age and mileage. The reasons why I bought
this car were as follows a) it is Guards Red, b) it has Manual Transmission c) it is equipped with the optional
Sport Seats (which I always love).
This car was upgraded by the famous SpeedSport Tuning shop in Connecticut.
The MECHANICAL UPGRADES include the following:
IPD Plenum
M&M/FVD Brombacher FULL exhaust including headers and high flow cats with custom black ceramic coated exhaust tips.
997 OEM GT2 short throw kit.
Bilstein PSS9 coilover kit which is compatible with PASM.
OS Giken Limited Slip Differential.
Tarret Drop Links and TPC Adjustable sway bars.
Evolution Motorsports Cold Air Intake kit.
Custom Dyno Tune.
The results of the work done were very nice, in my humble opinion. The baseline dyno run was 313WHP or 356BHP
which is right along the manufacturer’s claim. After the work was done, it dynoed at 345WHP or 393BHP. Just a
reminder, 997.1 GT3 was rated at 415BHP and the 997.2 GTS was rated at 408BHP. Also, the X51 Power Kit which was a
very high dollar option for 997.1 cars from the factory was rated at 381BHP.
The noise this car makes above 4,500 rpm is to die for! Any 911 sounds pretty good but the exhaust upgrade really
opened it up. It is still very civil under normal driving conditions.
Then, we went to town with INTERIOR and EXTERIOR customization include:
OEM Porsche 997.2 mirror assemblies painted in gloss black (again, 997.2 GTS / 997.1 theme)
Painted seat backs to match the exterior Guards Red color.
Painted center console to match the exterior Guards Red color.
CF and leather OEM Steering Wheel, Shift Knob and E Brake Lever combo.
CF key hole surround, light switch and lower console trim.
Red OEM Porsche front seat belts.
The front of the car (front bumper, hood and front fenders) was repainted due to the normal rock chip damage. Yes,
I wanted for the car to be perfect and, yes, it was an overkill. After the paint work was done, the entire front
of the car was covered in 3M clear bra (includes the entire hood).
Headlights and Bumper Lights were professionally re-finished.
19” OEM Lobster Claws were painted in high gloss black with a Guards Red lip. I am currently running H&R wheel
Spacers (7mm front/15mm back) for a wider, more aggressive stance.
This beauty has never been tracked even though the suspension upgrades would probably make it quite a weapon at the
track.
Car has been maintained by PORSCHE dealerships all its life. ALL maintenance is up to date. Less than 5K miles on
the clutch. Clean CARFAX. I personally did not find any previous paintwork or body work on the car. GREAT
CONDITION! Bridgestone tires have about 60% useful life left on them.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.
Porsche responds to PETA after tiger cub displays at Macan dealership events
Tue, 13 May 2014Porsche has found itself in the good graces of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which is pretty odd considering it's the only brand we know of that offers leather-lined vents. The activist group is praising the sports car manufacturer's handling of reports that some of its dealerships were set to feature tigers or tiger cubs at the local launch events for the Macan. Apparently, "macan" is the Malay word for tiger, which explains the connection between a highly touted crossover and a jungle cat.
A Tampa, FL dealership already displayed some three-week-old cubs, with PETA saying tigers for display should be at least eight to 12 weeks old. Even then, the group argues that the animals can suffer due to stress, malnourishment, neglect and a lack of veterinary care. The group brings up legal concerns, as well, arguing that if one of the cubs bit a customer, the dealership could be held liable (we're no big cat experts, but it seems unlikely a three-week-old cub could do that much damage).
Porsche's PR department quickly reacted to PETA's claims, with Vice President of Marketing Andre Oosthuizen, telling the group that Porsche is concerned about the "welfare of any animal, large or small, wild or domesticated." Oosthuizen's statements were reported in an official PETA blog.
