Lubbock, Texas, United States

VERY LOW MILES & FULLY LOADED: SPORT EXHAUST * PASM * SPORT SEATS * NAV * BOSE
* NEW CLUTCH AND NEW TIRES*
I am selling my highly-optioned 6-speed 2008 Porsche 911 Targa 4S with only 38,000 original miles. 6 cylinder, 3.8L
355hp with Sport Exhaust, PASM, PSE, Sport Seats, 19” painted metallic wheels, Navigation, Bose sound and other
custom factory interior options (see build sheet pic for more).
This car had a $112,000 MSRP and I am convinced these last of the water-cooled era are now becoming collectors
item, especially the big bad 4S wide bodies and the even more unique Targas. I would keep it but growing family
forces sale.
This loaded car is a head turner and a blast to drive; the sport exhaust is menacing and the large rear trunk makes
it more practical than your ordinary 911. The unique retracting glass roof means you can have all the pleasure of
open-top motoring with the security and sexy-lines of a coupe.
Non smoker and always garaged… inside has that great Porsche leather smell. This car began its life at Manhattan
Motor Cars/Porsche of Greenwich before moving to CA where it was serviced at Beverly Hills Porsche. I am the 3rd
owner and all my maintenance has been done by Porsche of Austin.
The car is in fantastic condition and has been properly maintained at no expense spared, with limited but tasteful
mods. Porsche of Austin recently replaced the clutch and flywheel for me with OEM parts and installed 4 new Pirelli
tires (all within the last 1k miles, buyer will have receipts and warranty). It shifts like new and is a blast on
the highway or country roads. For improved visibility, the rear tail lights have been upgraded to LED, as have all
the interior lights.
I have 2 sets of keys and will include the genuine Porsche rubber floormats, as well as the original Porsche floor
carpets and original rear taillights.
Zero mechanical issues, all preventive maintenance done and ready to go. She growls at the turn of a key.
The only imperfections I can think of are - trying to be as honest as possible but please study the pics:
1) Slight scuffing on the rear of the sport seats from previous owner in 2 spots, probably from loading golf clubs
(you can fit 2 sets in the back). These could be touched up easily but I never use the rear seats so never see
them.
2) Its only visible at close inspections but some of the wheels have spots where the paint is wearing thin near the
center caps. Im not sure if its from changing the wheels or just wear as it was like it when I got the car, but
they would look good touched up and perfect with a repaint. There is no curbing or damage to the actual wheels at
all.
2) The radio initially shows a brief warning about the CD player not being connected at startup, but it works fine
so I never bothered to have it fixed. The NAV works great.
Please let me know if you have questions. I have a video of the car running and a walk-around that I would be happy
to share.

2014 Porsche 911 Targa takes its crop-top off in Motor City
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Back in 1965, Porsche invented the 911 Targa as a matter necessity. Believing that a finicky National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was prepared to outlaw convertibles, the innovative automaker created the half-open car as a way to keep wind rushing through owners' hair. Though far removed from those formative days, it seems as though the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa has come to the Detroit Auto Show with a new-school version of some old-school tech.
While the last Targa featured a trick sliding glass roof at the touch of the button, the new car dramatically swallows a traditional-looking panel via an exceptionally complex-looking mechanical operation. The net result is "the same fun factor and freedom" that can be had with a complete convertible, though with slightly more open-driving protection while underway.
And, as is the case with all of the current 911 range, getting underway can be done with reasonable rapidity. The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.
Amelia Island 2013: Porsche 911 swarms the field marking 50 years of rear-engine goodness
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Perhaps one of the most iconic sports cars in the world, it was no surprise that the Porsche 911 showed up in numbers to the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Although the original 911 launched 50 years ago, the original and current models are instantly recognizable as 911s, and since the 911 has a storied racing background, there were probably just as many racing versions of the coupe as there were street-legal versions.
As the show's 2013 honoree, one of the prime racing examples was a 1970 Porsche 911 S raced by Sam Posey. There were so many cars in attendance, we didn't know where to look, but a 1985 911 Speedster concept and a Porsche-owned, rally-ready 911 Type 953 were definitely among the more impressive standouts. As an added bonus, Jacksonville-based Brumos Porsche had many of its classic racecars on display including a beautiful 959.
2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]
Thu, 22 May 2014You know the sound: the startling pop-brraaap-pop-pop shotgun fire of unspent flammables coursing through exhaust pipes that usually signals a raw, naughty powerplant beneath the hood.
But when you're nestled in the Porsche Boxster GTS' snug seats, it's not a crackling small block V8 or a high-strung Italian flat crank making the devilish racket, but rather the new king of the Boxster/Cayman lineup, a 3.4-liter flat-six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Within the emotional vacuum of a spec sheet, the Boxster GTS' pumped-up grunt seems pretty mild, with a gain of only 15 hp and 7 lb-ft, respectively. But the reworked acoustical experience goes a long way towards suggesting the GTS has a trace of racing blood in its veins, and might even be missing its catalytic converters. In addition to the sonorous, centrally positioned tailpipes, the cabin also fills with lovely mechanical strains thanks to the "Sound Symposer" acoustical amplifier that's trickled down into the Boxster/Cayman lineup from the 911 for the first time. Boxster S, we hardly knew ya.
