As an owner of 911's and a PCA member, for 35 years, I am selling the car I planned to keep forever. I waited for 2 years and bought one of the earliest 996 911 turbo's. Some say this is the best as Porsche toleranced the engine for low drag losses. The car was purchased from Porsche of Orlando and has been maturely driven. Check the condition of the original front tires and brake disks on the photos. All the original promotional items, books, keys, sticker, and receipts are included. This is great opportunity to acquire a superb unadulterated example of the earliest version of this landmark car at the lowest point in its depreciation.

Condition
The car has always been garaged in an air conditioned environment and kept in Florida, covered from UV. There has been no accidents, damage or repair work. The rims are original with no scrapes or curb rash. The paint work is like new. There may be one or two very very small stone chips on close examination, but there are no scratches or dents.
There is a patch of leather in the left side dash top near the windshield that shows signs of adhesion failure. I have tried to highlight it in the photos.
The spare tire and kit has never been used. The rear seats may have been used twice. I have never had a puncture or breakdown. Never smoked in. Leather treated with 2 stage Leatherique.

Service and replacement items.
Porsche of Orlando has done the servicing since new. At 13,939 miles, they replaced the clutch booster accumulator and did a second brake flush.
There was a leak from one of the wing raising hydraulic pistons and I replaced the entire hydraulics including pump just recently at ~15,000 miles.
A couple of spots on the interior plastic were sticky and I cleaned them with oven cleaner to remove the stickiness. This is a common issue on European cars like Ferrari's etc.
This car has been super reliable and nothing else has failed.
At approximately 14,500 miles, the rear tires were replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 N3.

Extras Included
I bought a black optional bra to protect the front end and used it twice.
At 10,161 miles a Speed Technologies stainless exhaust was installed by the Dealer as I thought the exhaust note was a little too quiet for such a fast car! The original system is available for the buyer and can easily be refitted to maintain complete stock configuration. No tuning or ECM modifications have been done.
The car comes fully equipped as standard with PSM, e-gas. ABD, Bi-Xenon vertically steerable headlights, electronic sliding roof with tilt (used twice!), rear wiper, headlight washers, memory seats, 10 speakers.

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.

Watch this Koenigsegg CCX hit 211 mph on a runway, outpacing McLaren's P1

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Vmax200 in in England organizes events where those who care to show up with a supercar can run them down the two-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Evo attended the latest event, bringing an impressively green Lamborghini Aventador to test its girth and gaping vents against other precious metals like the McLaren P1 and F1, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and enough 911 Turbos to start a dealership. Speaking of those Porsches, nine of the top ten slots in the top speed competition are claimed by modified 911 Turbos.
A monochrome Swede ruled them all, though, a black-and-white Koenigsegg CCX setting fire to the speed trap run after run, hitting 211 miles per hour at its quickest. It was followed by, surprise, a 911 GT2 modified by 9E that did 210 mph. You can watch the EVO video below, GT Spirit has a bigger breakdown of the day, and we've included another vid showing the tandem launch of the CCX and McLaren F1.

Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
