If you are looking for the nicest 1997 Porsche Boxster in the world this is it. Simply stunning color combination. Grand Prix White over Boxster Red FULL leather interior which includes the seats, dash and the insides of the doors. This car is HANDS DOWN the most IMPECCABLE Porsche you will find in the marketplace. This is a REAL NATIONAL CONCOURSE CHAMPION SEVERAL TIMES OVER!!!!! I have been collecting cars for over 25 years and have owned every High end sports, exotic and luxury car there is. I purchased this car only 2 months ago from the Porsche Club of America Regional Technical Chairman and thought I was ready for a new toy. I have only put 15 miles on the car since owning it and can tell you this is the quickest, tightest, best handling, best sounding and GORGEOUS car you will ever find for less than $20,000. Let alone the fact that anyone who walks up to it will mistake it for a new car. Being a father of 3 kids under the age of 5 I am a nervous wreck having it in the garage. I honestly thought that no one in the world was as OCD as I was about cars but trust me the previous owner is. This was his baby for the last 16 years and he was sick to his stomach selling it to me and now I feel even worse having to sell it to someone else. I can go on and on about how nice this car is but I would rather you refer to me feedback. The last sale was my 2007 Lexus LS460 with 18,000 miles on it. Those of you who truly understand what CONCOURSE QUALITY means will know and appreciate this car. I would prefer to sell it to someone who will truly care for it as the previous owner and myself have. The following paragraph below is the ad from the original owner on EBAY just 2 month ago. He is the most knowledgeable Porsche guy I have ever met and trust me I know many. His description is true and accurate and the car in person is nicer than the ad states. Please excuse my photos they are not the best because they are in the garage. You know the old saying "YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED". That truly is an understatement when it comes to this car. Please read the following description carefully. Please feel free to email me via eBay and I will gladly answer your questions. I will also happily text you specific photos if you include your phone number. All I ask is that you don't waste my time. This is NOT a BASE Boxster. This car has been tastefully modified and is way over built. If you think this is a fire sale it is not. If you want to insult me with a low ball offer I will not return your email. My asking price is very fair when you consider the miles, the condition and the added equipment to this car which would cost $ 20,000 without the car. I have been around cars since I was 3 and have sold thousands of cars throughout my career. If you treat me with respect you will get the same in return, it is really that simple. There is simply NOT ANOTHER CAR LIKE this in the world. 1997 Porsche Boxster, 8754 Miles. Perfect in every way. Grand Prix White with Boxster Red Full Leather Interior, Sport Package, TPC Supercharger making 5-6 lbs of boost. Approximately 275 HP at the rear wheels. 5-Speed Manual Transmission, H&R Full Coil-Over Suspension, B&B Polished Stainless Exhaust, 18" Porsche Sport Classic II Wheels with Michelins, Drilled Rotors, Pagid Orange Pads, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, Custom Built Rear Chassis Brace, Porsche Short Shifter with new style Porsche Shift Lever, Boost and AF Ratio Gauges.

This car was built for show only. Never beaten in any Porsche car show it was ever entered in. Fully detailed undercarriage, engine/transmission and suspension. Never driven in rain, never tracked and never damaged in any way. The car is simply stunning. Even the holes in the drilled rotors were painted black inside. All modifications work perfectly together and is fully emission compliant.

Simply put, this is THE nicest first year Boxster in the world...period.

Mark Webber treats Maria Sharapova to a Porsche 918 Spyder joyride

Tue, 29 Apr 2014

We don't much like Mark Webber right now. Part of being a racing driver is dealing with promotional stuff. It's not hard to find a driver that can't stand all this nonsense, whether it be promoting a product, meeting investors or attending some obscure event. Even a driver of Webber's caliber - a former Formula One driver for Red Bull Racing and a member of Porsche's factory Le Mans team - has to serve his time at the promo events.
Somehow, though, we don't think the Aussie driver minds this particular promo detail. In the video below, Webber attends the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. He then takes tennis superstar Maria Sharapova out for a spin behind the wheel of the Porsche 918 Spyder. The level of jealousy at the Autoblog office is palpable.
Take a look below for the video. And as we're super jealous of Mr. Webber, hop into Comments and caption the above photo based on what you think he's saying to Maria. Bonus points if you can work "vegemite" into the caption.

Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.

Petrolicious details why the Porsche 911 is something special

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The Porsche 911 is a special car, if for no other reasons than it's been continuously produced since 1964, with nearly every generation regarded as being at or near the top of its class. But why the rear-engined icon has done so well among enthusiasts and regular drivers alike can't always be explained easily. To truly understand the 911, you have to experience the whole package, and that means driving one.
While just about every publication has raved about the Porsche, commercial director, race driver, photographer and 911 owner Jeff Zwart explains to Petrolicious why he was drawn to the legend as a young child, and why he still loves them today.
Zwart's professional and personal life are inextricably linked to the 911, and hearing him talk about the car and its history makes for fascinating viewing. Watch the video below to hear Zwart's story and see him drive a couple examples from his collection: an early 911 and the 964-generation Carrera 4 he won Pikes Peak with for the first time - a car that happens to be equipped with the 959 Paris-Dakar's fascinating torque-split transmission. Enjoy!
