This is a 1984 Sunroof Carrera, 5 speed
brought to you in the rare and desirable color of Rubinrot (Ruby Red) over beige/tan leather interior. The car
(which I named “Emma”) has 175,755 miles. She is an original Northern California car that, other than a five
year stint in Arizona, has remained in California ever since. According to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity
(which is included with the car) Emma was “born” on 12/01/1983 and delivered to Martin Johnson Porsche Audi in
Oakland, Ca where she was sold to the original owner on 01/17/84.
I have a 2” thick binder (which will be included with the car) filled with interesting history and service
records dating back to the mid-90s. It is fascinating that every owner added to the binder, with their
improvements. It even has all the bill of sales from each title transfer. It’s interesting to see the value
increase with every sale.
The original owner sold the car in the late 90s with 97,881 miles. In the past 2 decades, Emma has gone through the
hands of 5 owners, each a care-taker of this beautiful ride and improving on it’s condition. The binder clearly
shows what each owner did to ensure that this car was reliable, functional, well maintained and most of all, a
blast to drive! Each care-taker made their improvement, enjoyed the car, then passed it on to the next care-taker.
The majority of the paint is original but there was spot painting in 2007. According to the receipt, this included
the front bumper and spoiler as well as the drivers door and right side quarter panel. The paint shows very well
considering it’s age but there are some scratches on the passenger door as well as some minor chips elsewhere as
would be expected on a car of this age. However the shine is great and the clear-coat is solid. The silver
“CARRERA" decals complement the silver spoked Fuchs wheels very nicely!
Here are some enhancements that the car has received over the years:
Lowered to European specs and a performance alignment. (Handles great!)
After-market oil cooler. (Runs about 1/3 the way up the temp gauge.)
After-market stereo is just so-so sounding.
It has “Turbo tie-rod ends” and a bump-steer kit.
After-market shifter bushings and a Weitmeister short shift kit, but the shifting feel is just so-so. (In my
opinion.)
After-market upgraded AC system that blows VERY cold! (This was install 11,000 miles ago, by the Arizona owner.)
Here is a brief list of repairs done in the past 50K miles or so, and associated odometer readings and costs:
Chain tensioners and misc. 120366 $1,348
F&R struts inserts and housings. 125914 $2,110
“Major service” and misc. 128604 $1,452
New clutch kit and misc. 135050 $1,893
CV Joints, sway bar link 141371 $1,399
“Major service” and misc. 142643 $1,185
Rebuilt rack and new wheel bearings 160*** +/- ??
The seats and carpet were replaced with new proper materials, back in 2007. (They look nearly mint condition!) The
headliner is perfect.
When I bought the car, it had a sport exhaust on it that was installed by the previous owner in Arizona. In order
to pass smog in CA, I had to put it back to stock, with new CATS. I bought the car with 173K miles and here is what
I’ve done in the past 3K miles:
All new exhaust including new catalytic converters
Front and rear brake pads
New deck lid gas strut
New plugs
New cap and rotor
New hood gas strut
Oil change with Swepco 20/50 (Twice)
New o-ring, vent hose and oil pressure switch (To eliminate minor leaks.)
After the above service, I drove it to the smog shop to get it smogged. The technician commented that there was
something wrong. When I asked him what it was, he mentioned that the emissions seemed impossibly low. (See picture)
I guess that’s what you get with new CATS and a complete tune-up!
All gauges and lights work. Sunroof and power windows work nice and smooth. Tires have about 60-70% tread left. As
mentioned above, the brake pads are essentially new, front and rear. Things that don’t work or need attention:
The clock doesn’t work.
I get an occasional grind into first gear. (Or maybe it’s into second gear??)
Cruise control doesn’t seem to work. (Or I don’t know what I am doing?)
I can let this car set for 2-3 months and just turn the key and it starts, idles, runs and drives flawlessly. Oil
temp stays cool and oil pressure is great. Bottom line: this is a well sorted, reliable and fun car to drive!

Porsche LMP1 to use 4-cyl hybrid powertrain [w/poll]

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With the Formula One season - and indeed his entire F1 career - now behind him, Mark Webber took advantage of his early release from Red Bull Racing to try out the new LMP1 which Porsche is developing, undertaking the final test session of 2013 before Porsche throws it head first into the FIA World Endurance Championship next April. The session - which followed previous tests at Magny-Cours, Monza, Paul Ricard and the Eurospeedway at Lausitz - was held at the Algarve circuit in Portimão, Portgual, in collaboration with Michelin, which is developing the tires for the car. But that's hardly the news here.
No, the news is the first confirmation we've seen on the type of powertrain Porsche has developed for its new Le Mans prototype: a gasoline-burning four-cylinder engine with direct injection and two energy recovery systems. This contrasts sharply with the V6 turbodiesel and single electric motor used by Audi in the R18 e-tron Quattro (or at least the outgoing version) or the naturally-aspirated V8 and single electric motor found in the Toyota TS030. Flexibility in the rules set down by the FIA and ACO give the manufacturers that kind of latitude, prompting F1 teams like Ferrari and Renault to consider developing their new engines for Le Mans prototypes as well.
At this point Porsche isn't saying how large its four-cylinder engine is or how much power it will produce. But it'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how it fares against the Audi and Toyota in next year's championship and at Le Mans when it'll be piloted by Webber, former Lola LMP1 driver Neel Jani and Audi's own 2011 Le Mans-winning pair of Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.

2015 Porsche 911 GTS starts at $114,200*

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

Purists often criticize Porsche for creating products like the Cayenne, Panamera and recently launched Macan, saying they dilute the true sports car spirit of the brand. It's an argument we've heard before, and one we counter with two points. First: No they don't. And second: These are Porsche's volume superstars, and the money they rake in allows the company to create dozens of versions of its well-liked sports cars. Want proof? Have a look at the gallery above, where you'll see four new versions of the 911, all with GTS badges on their rumps. This means Porsche now offers 19 versions of the 911. Nineteen.
Porsche offered a GTS version of the 911 in its previous generation, and this new one seeks to slot somewhere between the standard car and the hardcore GT3. It's available in coupe and cabriolet forms, with either rear- or all-wheel drive, starting at $114,200, *not including $995 for destination. The GTS Cabriolet comes in at $126,100, while models equipped with AWD will set you back $120,900 or $132,800 for the coupe or convertible, respectively.
All GTS models get the 430-horsepower version of the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six with the Powerkit, which also includes the Sport Chrono package and the sport exhaust. If equipped with the PDK dual-clutch transmission, the 911 GTS will hit 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds (or four seconds flat, if you've got the Cabriolet) - one tenth of a second quicker than the normal Carrera S. The car's top speed varies, depending on trim or transmission, but Porsche says the car will hit anywhere from 187 to 190 mph, flat out.
