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.

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.
Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.
Ferdinand Piech (1937-2019): The man who made VW global
Tue, Aug 27 2019Towering among his peers, a giant of the auto industry died Sunday night in Rosenheim/Upper Bavaria, Germany. Ferdinand Piech, a grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, who conceived the original Volkswagen in the 1930s, was the most polarizing automotive executive of our times. And one who brought automotive technology further than anyone else. Ferdinand Porsche had a son, Ferdinand (called "Ferry"), and a daughter, Louise, who married the Viennese lawyer Anton Piech. They gave birth to Ferdinand Piech, and his proximity to two Alfa Romeo sports cars — Porsche had done some work for the Italians — and the "Berlin-Rome-Berlin" race car, developed by Porsche himself, gave birth to Piech's interest in cars. After his teachers in Salzburg told his mother he was "too stupid" to attend school there, Piech, who was open about his dyslexia, was sent to a boarding school in Switzerland. He subsequently moved on to Porsche, where he fixed issues with the 904 race car and did major work on the 911. But his greatest project was the Le Mans-winning 917 race car, developed at breathtaking financial cost. It annihilated the competition, but the family had had enough: Amid growing tension among the four cousins working at Porsche and Piech's uncle Ferry, the family decided to pull every family member, except for Ferry, out of their management positions. Piech started his own consultancy business, where he designed the famous five-cylinder diesel for Mercedes-Benz, but quickly moved on to Audi, first as an engineer and then as CEO, where he set out to transform the dull brand into a technology leader. Piech killed the Wankel engine and hammered out a number of ambitious and sophisticated technologies. Among them: The five-cylinder gasoline engine; Quattro all-wheel drive and Audi's fantastic rally successes; and turbocharging, developed with Fritz Indra, whom Piech recruited from Alpina. The Audi 100/200/5000 became the world's fastest production sedan, thanks to their superior aerodynamics. Piech also launched zinc-coated bodies for longevity — and gave diesel technology a decisive boost with the advent of the fast and ultra-efficient TDI engines. Less known: Piech also decided to put larger gas tanks into cars. Customers loved it. Piech's first-generation Audi V8 was met with derision by competitors; it was too obviously based on the 200/5000.
