up for sale is a well maintained $50,000 sports car with just under 200K miles on it.

drivetrain: when I bought this the oil cooler was leaking into the oil, so the previous owner had it parked for a few years in dry storage. I had this fixed, compression checked and motor gone through with all fluids changed at 196k and everything checked out. Compression numbers were not written down, but was well above levels requiring rebuild. It has been running mobile 1 full synthetic 0-40 for at least the last 40k miles. The timing belt was changed at 160k, was what I was told; there is no paperwork to substantiate this. according to the dash instruments, oil pressure is typically at 4 of 5 when under any sort of load. drops to 2-3 at idle. Big brake kit, with stiff suspension system. I think one of the previous owners had track prepped it...

bottom line: it pulls hard, doesn't smoke at all. I had it over 100 mph one time and was surprised just how much the car calmed down.

Interior: there are cracks in the dash, the center console is a little rickety but intact. The sunroof motor runs well, the gears were changed a month ago, but unfortunately there is a slight bend in the drive cable which causes it to hang up: taking the sunroof off requires removing the screws holding the gears in place (boo!). the headliner has been torn around the sunroof latches and to access the hatch. The hatch has been rebuilt. the passenger recarro seat could use some refastening/clips as it is "coat-tailing" on the back of the seat! kenwood stereo, CD with auxiliary input. Stock speakers still work fine, one cuts out occasionally. rear wiper turns itself on when you round corners, otherwise doesn't respond so I have it unplugged.

Exterior: midnight blue paint, some oxidation on the roof. there was a bit on the hood as well, so carbon fiber vinyl was placed to help hold it over until paint time comes. One of the previous owners put tacky red stripes on the passenger fender, which were oxidized and showing through to the blue paint, so I had these vinyled with the orange as shown. personally, I think it should be consistent color, but was concerned that if I had these removed that it would cause a worse problem. that said, I'm sure there's people out there that would like it this way. factory wing is paint matched. body is straight, no bumps or paint nicks noted to bumpers. some body work has been done, but done well (I can't tell what they did and I have a discerning eye). front driving lights cracked but still functional. headlights work well.

wheels/tires: SSR racing 18" 3 piece wheels with sumitomo HTRZ III, front 235/40ZR18, rear 275/35ZR18. Rear tires have about 300 miles on them, front indeterminant, but plenty of tread left. cost: 400/wheel, 160 per tire. 3 of the stock rims are also available for an extra $200 (one was stolen out of the garage!), tires are almost new.

local pickup only. I reserve the right to end the auction early due to other listings.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS getting all-new atmospheric engine

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Porsche surprised many of its most puritanical enthusiasts when it took a decidedly more usable approach with the current 911 GT3. But when the new GT3 RS debuts, it promises to be a much more extreme departure. And a big part of that comes down to the engine. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Auto Express spoke with Porsche R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz – who also happens to be head of engine and transmission development for the entire Volkswagen group. Hatz revealed that Porsche has developed a completely new engine for the GT3 RS, and while previous rumors suggested the RS would go turbo to fill in for the lack of a GT2 (and make the most out of its displacement), Hatz confirmed that it will be naturally aspirated. Considering that Porsche rarely goes downwards when it comes to 911 engine displacement, only upwards, we'd expect the new RS to pick up where the previous 4.0 left off. The new GT3 RS is also expected to pack a more extreme suspension, aero and stripped-out interior, but those hoping for an old-school approach may be disappointed to learn that the new RS will (at least at launch) only be available with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission Â– though a manual version could follow if there's enough demand. In a related development, Hatz also hinted that the Cayman GT4 could debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, with an even more extreme approach than the previous Cayman R. The new top-of-the-line Cayman is reportedly being developed to comply with GT4 class racing regulations but be fully homologated for road use. Related Video:

PSA: Mark Webber can't text and drive and neither should you

Mon, Nov 16 2015

Texting and driving is dangerous. You shouldn't do it. We really can't stress that enough. But if you won't listen to us, maybe you'll listen to Mark Webber. The Australian driver is one of the most accomplished in motor racing. As Sebastian Vettel's former wingman at Red Bull, he won nine Formula One grands prix and scored over a thousand championship points. And now as the headline driver in Porsche's endurance racing program, he and his teammates behind the wheel of the 919 Hybrid are currently in the lead to win the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship with just one round to go. Suffice it to say, then, that he knows a thing or two about the concentration it takes to drive. And it doesn't involve looking at your phone while doing so. To drive that point home (so to speak), he and Porsche put together this little public service announcement. It shows a distracted Webber piloting a 911 GT3 Cup around the Dubai Autodrome in the United Arab Emirates, messing up his racing line, missing his apices, spinning out, and nearly trashing the thing. Does the idea of looking at your phone while lapping a race track strikes you as ludicrous? Well, it should. But then, at the risk of coming across as preachy, so should the idea of texting while driving. Because if a racing driver should know better, so should you. Don't take our word for it, though... take it from Mark in the video above.

Man steals Porsche, brags on video, then crashes into wall

Thu, Dec 3 2015

Here's your daily reminder that thieves are morons. This also serves as reminder that not everything you do needs to be committed to video. A man in Gloucester, a city in southwest England, was stupid enough to steal a Porsche Boxster and then take a video in it. Oh, and of course, he crashed it. Now, we'll give this dimwit, 25-year-old Jamie Lee Sharp, some credit – he didn't actually admit that he stole the car on video, at least based on the 45-second clip released by Gloucester police and hosted by The Guardian. According to the story, there was more footage, which included Sharp driving the car and phoning friends, before he crashed it into a wall. It's not clear if the crash was caught on video, though. Following the crash, Sharp's accomplice, 26-year-old James Honeywell, abandoned him at the scene of the wreck. Both thieves were arrested following the January incident, though, and were just recently sentenced by British authorities following guilty pleas. The crown awarded Sharp's actions with a four-year stay in one of Her Majesty's prisons for burglary, aggravated vehicle taking, driving while disqualified, drunk driving, and driving without insurance. Honeywell got 35 months burglary, aggravated vehicle taking, and failure to appear at court. His license was also suspended for nearly two and half years, too, The Guardian reports.
