1978 Porsche 924, Track Ready...turn Key And Go Race Also Street Legal on 2040-cars
Fargo, North Dakota, United States
|
This is a 1978 Porsche 924 built by Bill Katz (Katz Klassics)in the mid 90s. I visited with Bill, a well know car builder, before I purchased the car last year. Bill said he put the "best of the best" in the car for his wife to race at the track. You can check out his e bay store and his website to see some of his items. Bottom line is this car was built by an expert and is a ton of fun to take to the track. I wanted to get started in road track driving and found the car for sale last year in Minnesota. I invested some money to go through the brake system (replaced rear brake hoses), 4 wheel alignment for the track and had a general overall tune up to run at the track including; New Inner Wheel and Outer Wheel Bearings and a new strut to replace one that was leaking. This car had no problem passing track inspection and I ran it last September. Visiting with Bill regarding what he put into the car, he recently told me: Turbo fuel pump, Audi 5cy turbo fuel pressure valve regulator, throttle body was ported out, adjustable cam gear, Ansa exhaust system off turbo model. He also lowered the car with a spring kit. Other details I know about the car:
I will also include RARE 14" Hoosier race slicks that have 3 laps on them, a total of five additional tires for track use that are basically NEW. I purchased from a dealer who witnessed the three test laps run in Wisconsin. From the pictures you will see extra rubber that the tires picked up because it was a very hot that day but they basically have 100% tread on them as you can see from the pictures. Each of these tires would retail around $200.00. I stored the tires off the rims for the winter in a climate controlled environment. In addition, I will include 5 extra original Porsche rims. Tires and wheels are shown in pictures. I put a reserve on it but it is rather low. Really looking forward to running this car at the track this summer and don't want to sell but I need to make room for the other toys. It is a great car to get into road track with. Handles great and has enough speed to keep it interesting. Terms of Sale, SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T BID UNLESS YOU HAVE ALL THE MONEY.

Motor Trend holds World's Greatest Drag Race for the third time
Fri, 23 Aug 2013As part of Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car competition, the buff book has held its third iteration of the World's Greatest Drag Race. With an airfield and a dozen of the world's finest performance cars at its disposal (oh, and a helicopter), the MT team did what any good group of enthusiasts would do, and tried to figure what car could cover a quarter mile the quickest. World's greatest drag race, indeed.
The contestants, as MT points out, cover a huge variety of engine types, drivelines, aspiration types and body styles, making for a genuinely varied and interesting field of competitors. Here's the full list of cars taking part.

Porsche bringing Macan S Diesel to US instead of 4-cylinder [w/poll]
Mon, 16 Dec 2013When Porsche unveiled the new Macan at the LA Auto Show, it announced two powerplants for the US market, both of them twin-turbo V6s: the Macan S equipped with 340 horsepower from its 3.0-liter engine, and the Macan Turbo with 400 horses from 3.6 liters. But those aren't the only engines Porsche will offer in its new compact crossover. Porsche is also offering the Macan S Diesel overseas with 258 hp, and reports have since indicated that a pair of four-cylinder models on their way: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 hp and four-pot turbodiesel of the same capacity with an as-yet undisclosed output.
Now Car and Driver is reporting that while those four-cylinder engines won't be making the transatlantic voyage to our shores, Porsche will offer the aforementioned Macan S Diesel in North America beginning in early 2015, nearly a year after the gas V6 versions arrive.
The 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 is based on the same engine found in the Cayenne Diesel and the Audi Q5 TDI on which the Macan is based. Of course, its 248 hp is substantially less than the 340 ponies in the Macan S, but its 413 pound-feet of torque outshines not only the 339 lb-ft in the Macan S but also the 406 lb-ft in the Macan Turbo. Acceleration times, however, suggest the Macan S Diesel is still slower, with a 6.3-second run to 62 mph than neither the Macan S (5.4 sec) or Macan Turbo (4.8). The good news is that the Macan S Diesel is tipped to undercut the price of both, dropping the oil-burning crossover's MSRP below that of the $49,900 starting price for the Macan S and the $49,600 for the base Cayenne. If that C/D prediction comes to pass, that will make it the Macan S Diesel most affordable Porsche sold.
