2001 Porsche 911 / 996 supercharged and heavily modified towards a GT2..with flair! Car is still periodically being
driven, so mileage will go up a little. I am selling this fun weekend car, along with my daily driver BMW M3, as I
just started a new company, so this car gets to go to a new owner!
I bought this car from a guy that had this vision of the best of Porsche you could make (reasonably!). He put into
many of his own design concepts but to be sure, it was built for a unique styling and pure driving performance
-- and not to be a show queen by any means. To him, a Porsche is meant to be driven and this is a perfect
example of a car that you love to drive. Even still, you will get a TON of comments, cheers, etc while
driving
.driving by them J
Here is the LONG list of options and modifications done to the car:
Original carbon fiber optioned car -- steering wheel and other trim inside plus Factory Sport seats with
Porsche crest in the headrest
VF Engineering Supercharger kit with intercooler, sensors, DME, injectors, etc and adds 7PSI of boost
Full stainless steel exhaust including sport cats and mufflers
IPD Intake Plenum - IPD 96200
Stage 2 performance clutch and Lightweight flywheel
993 RS rubber mounts / WEVO mounts - not a "solid" mount
IMS upgrade / repair completed
Tons of other maintenance including almost all of the coolant hoses, the coolant tank, belts, water pump, LN
Engineering billet oil filter and magnetic drain plug, etc, etc. Basically, nearly everything that could be done
when the car was apart.
Upgraded to Turbo brakes (Big Reds) front and rear
Coil-over suspension installed - Car was professionally corner balanced and set to GT3 specs
Upgraded sway bars and links
Short shifter kit and linkage
Porsche skid plate
Customizable throttle sensitivity with remote
Boost and AFR gauges installed in A-pillar then wrapped in leather
Pioneer AVIC touch screen deck with navigation, Bluetooth, Rear view camera
Custom mounted garage door opener (homelink)
Valentine V1 radar detector custom mounted and Escort shifter Laser jammer with custom stealth installation
Body kit
o TechArt style front bumper damage from a train track crossing which also cracked the splitter K I included
the pictures from when it was perfect, as well as the current picture with the damage. I pulled off the front
splitter as that was too low for city driving and got caught on everything. I still have it, and it can be repaired
if desired
o GT3 rear bumper
o GT2 rear decklid and spoiler
o Custom, one of a kind, rocker panels
o Turbo quarter panel intake ducts -- installed to look flush/factory
PlastiDip with semi-gloss pearl white. It is not perfect and has a few imperfections but looks good from 10.
If you want to truly paint it, you can just peel it off
Upgraded Bi-xenon headlights (2002+)
Decante LED rear taillights, LED 3rd brake light, LED front daytime running lights (in the bumper intakes)
997 side mirrors painted in a GT3 RSR theme
New 19" wheels with relatively new rubber all the way around (note, the rears are really wide and rub when you
hit large bumps so there is some marring on the rears, which has also put rubber marks around the rear fender)
Aftermarket Tire pressure sensors (tpms)

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
China may surpass US as Porsche's largest market this year thanks to Cayenne
Thu, 09 Oct 2014China has already surpassed the United States as the world's largest automotive market, so it's no surprise that one day soon it will be the world's largest Porsche market.
In fact, that day may already be here, as the PRC's Porschephiles outbought their American counterparts in September. Porsche's Chinese dealers sold 4,344 cars last month to America's 3,607. Through all of 2014 so far, though, the US is still the larger market for the German brand.
"The U.S. performed very well this year, after a great year in 2013, but China is growing fast, thanks to the Cayenne which is our best seller there," Porsche's sales and marketing boss, Bernhard Maier, told Automotive News Europe.
Porsche 911 and Citro"en DS lovechild would look like this
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The early Porsche 911 and the Citroën DS were two cars produced in the same era (though the DS launched in 1955, nearly 10 years before the 911), but they were vastly different from each other. The 911 was a uniquely German, pure-bred sports car, while the French-built DS had four doors and focused more on ride quality than sporting intentions. That made it all the more surprising when we came across the 911DS, a creation that binds the rear half of the Citroën to the front of an early, longhood 911.
The folks at Brandpowder are behind the creation, which we surmise was an exercise in design rather than an actual, completed project (some of the images look Photoshopped), but it's compelling nonetheless, with a turbocharged flat-six providing 260 horsepower. We hope someone builds it - though we're sure if that happened the early 911 crowd would cry afoul at one of its increasingly rare and valuable Porsches being grafted onto an old French car.
But as Brandpowder points out lightheartedly, perhaps the creation could transcend popular car culture: "The 911DS represents the effort of two countries, a genuine attempt to join their energy and talent into one thing. We hope Germany and France will be inspired by Brandpowder's story, as a metaphor for a better and greater Europe."
