This car was originally, built by a friend 2 years ago, for a track car, major suspension work...( bilstien shocks, weltmiester 250lb springs, bushings, alignment,camber mods, 3 in front lower, 2 inch rear lower....a very stiff car, that is perfect straight, at 120mph, even if you take your hands, off the wheel.....the engine was also tweeked a bit...Head milled, New valves, timing belt, tensioners,main bearings , water pump etc...runs awesome....a High flow Radiator was installed, belts, Hoses, and a Faster throttle response cam....Although The Guys, at German Specialties, near Tampa, are some seriously talented tech's, they aren't a Body or restoration shop....So the car looks pretty on film, but has paint imperfections, a few small dents, and dings....all in all, a 10 footer....the car was disassembled for paint, and quality materials were definitely used.....its not a concourse job, but it is awesome to drive, brakes, engine, steering, etc....awesome fun Oh yeah....she also has a racing clutch, pressure plate etc, so it is one grabby puppy, but is easy to get used to and only takes a few miles to get the hang of it...as a final note...I put a bit of carbon fiber accent, on the doors, and front splitter, the speakers are all new, and the Cd player is awesome...a very quality sound
the interior, is actually rather nice for its age, front carpets, are nice, rear carpet, is new, rear seats, have no tears, and center console is very well cared for...the dash was cracked all over ,..so I put a cover on it, and the front seats were worn, and a nice expensive pair of sheepskins...fixed em right up....so there you have it....she is a blast to drive, all lights, signals, blowers, etc work nice....the non power steering, is easy, and smooth as can be imagined....the AC delete, surely allows more torque, and the loud ..free flow exhaust, sounds like music any any RPM....I put the Baffled tip on, because it was enough to ring your ears, at speed, and that did the trick for noise.....I bought this car, because my friend, needed money, and thought it would be a good fit for me.....I love it....However,.. Im in need of money....lots of medical bills, disability dragging on 2 years....you get the Idea...The car however never made it to the track....Other projects, finances, and since I knew who built it...I couldn't resist buying her...
there are a few interior trims missing..,right door pocket, sunroof access panel...canvas cargo cover...rear belts....that's about it...and the Fog lights....I put new bulbs, headlights, fan sensor..Alt belt...but that's about it...I recently drove her to Jacksonville, and back/ about 500 miles....easy breezy...no problems...there are 16X9 rear, and 16X8 front rims...they are flawless, and new.... a few monthes old...Tires are good, however the fronts are about 1/2 life....that's about it other than the fender
When I came out of the store a few weeks ago, some kind soul hit the right fender, and drove away...its not a difficult fix, but I don't have the money, and Ive knocked 500 off the starting price to reflect that.....This is one helluva solid car,and the guy who built her is one talented tech...good luck, and don't hesitate to email me with questions...thanks,

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
2015 Porsche Panamera S First Drive
Wed, Mar 18 2015Porsche brought the Panamera in for its garage makeover and drove it out looking almost exactly the same. Turns out it was one of those fancy German refreshes where everything happens in places you can't immediately see, as we found recently on the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. The marquee revision across the lineup is under the hood, where every engine gets, at the very least, more power. Such is the case for the naturally aspirated V6 in the entry models, fitted with an increase of 10 horsepower for a total of 310. The same goes for the naturally-aspirated 4.8-liter V8, which lives only in the Panamera GTS now, and gets 10 more hp for a total of 430. That same V8, twin-turbocharged in the Turbo model, is graced with 20 more ponies for 520 hp. The mightiest marquee revision is saved for the S models, which surrender their use of the 4.8-liter V8 and get a 3.0-liter, all-aluminum, twin-turbocharged V6 in its place. It's a brand-new engine designed in-house and related to the 3.6-liter V6 in the base models, but with new features like a magnesium timing chain cover, variable camshaft timing for the intake and the exhaust valves, and a new fuel- injection system. Putting out 420 hp and 384 pound-feet of torque, it's got 20 more hp and 15 more lb-ft than the V8 it replaces. What's more, torque used to peak from 3,500 to 5,000 rpm, but the new torque curve maintains maximum twist from 1,750 to 5,000 rpm. It is less thirsty as well, posting an estimated fuel economy of 17/27 miles per gallon city/highway, besting the 16/24 city/highway of before. An improved stop-start mechanism contributes to this, as it cuts the engine earlier, and the coasting function benefits from a new disc clutch that can decouple the seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission from the driveline. As we wrote in our Panamera S E-Hybrid review, you'd need to be obsessed with the Panamera to notice the sheet metal changes around that engine. It's the perfect car to ask, oh so coyly, "Notice anything different about me?" while you stand there dumbfounded, silently thinking, "No." Here is your cheat sheet: the front and back ends are "tighter," meaning faintly more squared off, the front intakes are larger, the tailgate gets wider rear glass over the same-sized opening, the rear spoiler is wider, and the rear license plate bracket has been mounted lower. But even now that you know what the changes are, odds are still 200-to-1 against you actually noticing.
Audi outlasts rivals to win 13th Le Mans title
Sun, 15 Jun 2014As is so often the case, the 2014 Le Mans was a war of attrition, and Audi managed to prevail once again after all 24 hours had been recorded in the history books, with its Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro claiming first and second places, followed by Toyota in third. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer inherited the lead in their No. 2 Audi after the No. 7 Toyota, driven by pole-sitter Kazuki Nakajima, was forced to retire with electrical problems in the 15th hour.
The No. 2 Audi led the race until it was forced to the pits to replace a turbocharger in the 17th hour, allowing the No. 1 Audi, driven by Lucas di Grassi, Marc Gene (who was a last-minute replacement for Loic Duval, who crashed hard during practice) and defending champion Tom Kristensen, led the race until the 21st hour, when it too had to pit with turbocharger issues. This gave the No. 20 Porsche of Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley, and Mark Webber the lead until it was forced off the track with gearbox problems, eventually finishing in 38th position.
In LMP2, the Jota Sport Zytek Z11SN-Nissan driven by Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Oliver Turvey claimed victory, the first five LMP2 finishers all powered by Nissan. Down a level in GTE-Pro, No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 driven by Gianmaria Bruni, Toni Vilander and Giancarlo Fisichella finished one lap ahead of the leading Corvette Racing C7.R. And finally, the No. 95 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE driven by Kristian Poulsen, David HeinemeierHansson and Nicki Thiim won the GTE-Am race two laps ahead of a Proton Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.
