2002 Porsche 911 Targa on 2040-cars
Old Monroe, Missouri, United States
This is a very special Porsche. This Targa is a very unique 2002 Arctic Silver Porsche 911 Carrera Targa with only
13,000 miles.
This Targa came with the factory Technic Package and has been very tastefully customized with body and mechanical
parts to replicate a 2002-2004 996 GT3. This was done with a Jacquemond Aero Body Kit and GT3 rear wing, upgraded
red powder coated calipers and H&R Sport lowering springs with proper upper strut mount kit. The only thing that is
missing is the GT3 wheels.The body kit was installed by Mirror Finish in Oklahoma City who specialize in Porsche and BMW.
The workmanship on the install is excellent and the quality of the body kit is so high that it looks completely OEM
and the paint is a perfect 100% match. This car handles better than my stock 911 Cabriolet and actually has a
smoother more compliant ride, even with the lowering. In addition it has an Evolution Motorsports INTK996 Induction
System and Stage 1 Computer Tune done by Bob Dumont, Porsche Only Service also in Oklahoma City.
The Targa also has a custom audio system that was done without any modifications to the dash with an Alpine AM/FM,
MP3, SiriusXM Satellite and JL Audio 4 channel Full Range Amp and JL 6.5” 3-way speaker system with a JL 10”
Subwoofer. You can see the subwoofer install in the pictures. It looks like it was done at the factory, just
beautiful.
At 11,400 miles I had the IMS BEARING UPGRADED to the TuneRS Centers for Porsche DOF (direct oil feed) bearing. It
was more expensive than others but to me, offers the absolute best engineering of all.

Chris Harris condemns demonization of Porsche Carrera GT in wake of Walker death
Fri, 06 Dec 2013When something bad happens, it's easy to resort to scapegoating. At least for some of us, that seems to be exactly what has happened following the tragic death of actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas, who were killed on November 30 in a Porsche Carrera GT. Even though officials have not yet determined the cause of the crash, that isn't stopping many theories from being put for - theories that include blaming the Porsche supercar. Rather predictably, not only is the CGT's difficult nature getting examined, but indeed, the nature of all high-performance cars is being put under the public's microscope, with some wondering what the need for all the power is.
A Google search of "Porsche Carrera GT" will find no shortage of articles about the razor-sharp handling and outright speed of the CGT. Pistonheads' Chris Harris has a different, insightful take on both the Carrera GT and the nature of all fast cars. He reflects on the matter, ironically, en route to drive the successor to the car that killed Walker and Rodas, the 900-horsepower 918 Spyder hybrid supercar.
We think it's well worth a read, as it makes a number of good points about modern high-performance automobiles and the way they're used. Click over and take a look.
Motor Trend holds World's Greatest Drag Race for the third time
Fri, 23 Aug 2013As part of Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car competition, the buff book has held its third iteration of the World's Greatest Drag Race. With an airfield and a dozen of the world's finest performance cars at its disposal (oh, and a helicopter), the MT team did what any good group of enthusiasts would do, and tried to figure what car could cover a quarter mile the quickest. World's greatest drag race, indeed.
The contestants, as MT points out, cover a huge variety of engine types, drivelines, aspiration types and body styles, making for a genuinely varied and interesting field of competitors. Here's the full list of cars taking part.

Porsche Panamera gets new diesel in time for Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Diesel may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Porsche, but in the European market - that vital one which Porsche calls home - diesels are indispensable. Particularly when you're trying to extend beyond niche sports cars and into the mainstream luxury sedan market as Zuffenhausen has with the Panamera. In fact, diesels account for 15 percent of Panamera sales worldwide (even though they're not offered Stateside), so to keep oil-burning customers happy, Porsche has announced a series of upgrades.
Set to be unveiled in the flesh at the fast-approaching Frankfurt Motor Show, the new Panamera Diesel packs 300 horsepower. That's 50 hp (or 20 percent) more than the model it replaces, significantly dropping the 0-62 sprint from 6.8 seconds to 6 flat, and raising top speed from 152 miles per Autobahn-crunching hour to 161. While they were at it, Porsche's engineers also fitted the rear differential with torque vectoring (previously reserved for gasoline-burning models) and retuned the transmission and suspension.
You can delve into the press release below for all the details - including the new model's improved towing capacity! - but the reality, for better or worse, is that the Panamera Diesel isn't offered here. So if you've been celebrating Labor Day (or even Labour Day, for our friends to the north) like we have, don't go looking for it at your local dealer, who will have only a Cayenne Diesel to show you instead.
