2009 Porsche 911 997 on 2040-cars
Clements, Maryland, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : jamijddimery@horticulturists.net .
My low mileage Mezger powered Basalt 2009 997 Turbo. I am a long time Porsche owner,
enthusiast, and mechanic. Before I go any further this car does have a $55k factory replacement engine due to a
broken timing chain, quite possibly caused by the ridiculous number of over revs logged by the ecu. I personally
installed the new engine at 16k miles and purchased the car with 17.5k miles. I have completely torn the car down,
inspected, serviced, and reassembled everything mechanically. The entire suspension has been disassembled,
inspected, and serviced. The suspension while very aggressive, is equally agile and responsive while being very
predictable and compliant. I spent a lot of time working with the shock settings, and more importantly reducing the
charge pressures making them much more street friendly then their original design and intention. This car is a
stunning performer being leaps and bounds above the standard turbo.
The paint shows extremely well with the only significant blemishes being nicks and chips on the front splitter,
and around the leading edges of the front rocker and rear bumper (see pics). The installer failed to have the
Techart provided protective clear film attached on those sections. A little time and creativity would quickly
repair this. If it were not for the car being a metallic based black I certainly would have addressed it, however;
it really doesn't stand out as it would with any other color so I decided to leave it alone for now. Aside from
that the paint and body are in amazing condition, you will not be disappointed, no one has ever been yet! The
basalt black has become one of my personal favorites as it really accentuates and exaggerates the curves of the
Turbo body and changes slightly in color with light, a must see in person as pictures just can't do it justice.
Improvements and upgrades.
styling:
-GT2 RS seats (full leather)
-HRE 590R three piece wheels with Dunlop racemaxx tires
-Techart aero kit including rear wing element
-Techart GT3 carbon front bumper vent insert

-Brembo GT 380mm front and 380mm rear brake conversion
-Brembo type III front rotors
-RSS control arms, links, and mounts

Engine and Performance:
-Brand new Factory replacement Mezger engine
-AWE Tuning 650S headers, hi-flow cats, and exhaust
-GT3 throttle body
-Softronic 650 hp 93 oct tune
-TPC Racing intercoolers (largest on market)
-Werks1 (champion motorsport) carbon plenum
-Werks1 carbon y-pipe (needs repair but goes with car)
-IDP aluminum y-pipe
-Werks1 carbon air intake
-OS Giken limited slip
-ERP triple disc clutch and LWFW assembly.
The car is rock solid and fully emissions compliant, no lights, warnings or errors.
The Softronic software was used in favor of the original AWE/GIAC software because it provides a more progressive
boost map and better throttle modulation allowing the car to be much more driveable on the bottom end of the power
band.
No expense was spared on the build of this car and would cost several 10's of thousands to duplicate, anyone
familiar with these cars knows the costs of the parts and mods listed above. There are no excuses and the next
owner will surely not be dissapointed.

Porsche planning Cayman GT4 racer
Fri, 10 Oct 2014To say that Porsche is big in racing is like saying that Warren Buffett dabbles in mergers and acquisitions. But while it fields the 919 Hybrid at Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship, the bulk of its racing activities are undertaken by private teams that buy customer racecars from the factory. Those in turn are largely based on the 911, but the latest intel from the motor racing world indicates that Zuffenhausen is planning a more accessible customer race car.
The new, more affordable competition car is to be based on the Cayman and built to GT4 specifications, slotting in below the 911-based GT3 Cup, GT3 R and RSR. Autosport reports that Porsche has already developed a prototype and will shortly commence testing. Details are scarce at the moment, but the Cayman GT4 would seem to compete against the likes of the Aston Martin Vantage N24, Nissan 370Z Nismo GT4 and Maserati GranTurismo MC. It will also likely help Porsche foster enthusiasm for a potential road version that's already been spotted undergoing testing. Previous GT4 racing conversions of the Cayman, like the one pictured above, were carried out by third-party racing constructors not recognized by the factory.
Porsche may not be the only one showing interest in the category, however. BMW is said to similarly be considering a GT4-spec version of its M235i Racing model to compete in the same class, taking the place of the defunct M3 GT4 as the Bavarian marque's entry-level customer racing car.
Singer Porsche, Koenigsegg, NSX: Leno's life doesn't suck
Tue, Oct 6 2015Jay Leno had quite a productive trip this year during Monterey Car Week. Not only did he get to pal around with Ian Callum and check out the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but the denim-clad comedian also headed to The Quail to talk to some prominent figures in the modern sports car scene. Capping off the fun, he got to take a drive in a Mercedes-AMG GT S, too Perhaps the highlight of this show is a nearly 10-minute interview with Christian von Koenigsegg. The founder of the Swedish hypercar company digs deep into the Agera One:1's engineering details, relating interesting facts about the aerodynamics and transmission. In addition, Leno chats with Rob Dickenson of Singer about its newly reimagined Porsche 911 Targa, and he gets the latest scoop on the Acura NSX's progress from newly promoted Acura Vice President and General Manager Jon Ikeda. If you like hearing about the nuts and bolts of sports car development, then this video can't be missed. Of course, we were there at Monterey, too, and we pointed our own cameras at some of the amazing machinery, both vintage and modern, at all the various car-focused events of the week. Take a look back at some of our own cool footage in the videos below. Related Video:
