1993 911 in great condition. I was so in love with this car the Porsche bug got me and I bought a new porsche, then another. After 6 years, I have put just over 3k miles on this car and my significant other wants the parking space. She won the coin toss and its the car that is going to go (2 out of 3 maybe?) I bought this car in 2007, and immediately replaced the suspension with the Bilstein PSS 9 system, mostly to drop it down about an inch, and replaced the stock 16" wheels ( which I still have) with some repainted/finished original 17" wheels from the same era. Also replaced the tires with some BF Goodritch Potenza's 225 and 245/45's at the same time. The work on the suspension and wheel and tire work was done by Moorespeed, Austin TX. One of the previous owners installed a performance chip, B&B header and muffler system and a K&N type cone filter. She is fast and drives and sounds great. There is also a multi speaker alpine stereo upgrade. I also wired in a Valentine radar detector that I plan to leave in. The brakepads have been replaced at 35563 miles, and the A/C was serviced including a new evaporator, receiver-drier and expansion valve. Comes with original bra, manual and a cover as well as a folder of receipts from myself and 2 previous owners.
So what's not to like? Small paint chip on the hood, scratches under the door hadles, there is a shallow dent under the trim in the body behind the driver door (which can be easily pressed out, never got around to it) and a small tear next to the seem on the drivers side convertable top. Also, one of the previous owners (I believe I'm the 4th) removed the back seats. Please see the pics. The last 2 pics are with the original wheels.
I included a picture of the pre-purchase inspection I had done by Greff Motors before I purchased the car in 2007 and the original factory window sticker.

See what the Chevy C7 ZR1 may be benchmarked against
Tue, 07 May 2013One of the greatest things every Corvette has had going for it, and also one of the most re-used arguments against it, is its price-to-performance equation - long before the Nissan GT-R became the de facto Porsche 911 comparator the Corvette spent decades as Exhibit A. Depending on which side of the argument you stressed, supporters crowed about how much performance you got for how (comparatively) little, detractors carped on how little you got everywhere else in the bargain.
It appears Chevrolet is working as hard as ever to render the argument meaningless. Spy shooters at KGP captured a convocation of European birds of prey leaving the General Motors test center, and aimed at benchmarking the C7 Corvette ZR1. The road train comprised of two C7 Corvette Stingrays, a 2013 Corvette ZR1, McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari 458 Italia, Audi R8 V10 Spyder and Porsche 911 Carrera S and it was last seen heading down the same kinked-up back roads used to hone the Corvette Stingray.
The C7-series ZR1 and its possible 700 horsepower are still a ways off. If it really is being positioned to compete with the celestial exotica in the testing group, could it be the first Corvette to regularly be the first answer to the question "Cost no object, which would would you rather have?"
Porsche 911 already testing next refresh
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The latest Porsche 911 may still be a newer car, but that hasn't stopped the German company from starting development of a facelifted version of the rear-engined sports car, testing in what looks like southern Europe.
Due to hit the market in 2015, our spies think what we're seeing here is the new GTS variant, which, following the evolution of the last-generation 911, will make its debut on the facelifted car. Featuring the wider rear haunches of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, the GTS should enjoy a slight power boost, to 408 ponies.
Aesthetically, there are some additional vents in the rear bodywork, along with a revised front bumper and tweaked day-time running lights. The taillights get some attention as well, and will likely grow over the current car's skinny rear lamps.
Jay Leno welcomes finely rebuilt Porsche 356 into his garage
Wed, 15 Jan 2014Not a month after the Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer visited Jay Leno's garage, another artfully restored Porsche has rolled in. This time it's a 1957 Porsche 356A Outlaw, the "outlaw" moniker referring to Porsches that have been restored outside the bounds of period-correct orthodoxy.
This 356A was literally done from the ground up by Michigander Chuck Olenyk, the floor of the car having fallen apart so badly that he couldn't remove the roof at first since it was holding the vehicle together. Olenyk said that of the 2000 hours over seven years that he spent restoring the car, 500 were spent just on repairing the rust. That's undoubtedly some of the reason why when he tried to sell the unrestored car as a roller in the nineties for $1,000, no one would take it off his hands.
Olenyk fitted a mildly tuned engine from a Porsche 912, the transmission from a 356B, the brakes from a 356C, Fuchs mags and a modified replicar Speedster roof from Intermecchnica. It lacks nothing even with just 115 horsepower, and it adds to that with charm and aural appeal. You can see and hear the full story in the video below.
