2001 Porsche Boxster 986 S tiptronic being sold as is. This is a very nice car with substantial performance upgrades but it does need 4 items to make it mint. 1. broken right front coil spring 2. faulty key ignition switch 3. left front radiator small/slow leak 4. Paint ( could use a re-paint) I purchased this car for my daughter when she got her license 6 yrs. ago. Unfortunetly it lived through the high school yrs. & several yrs. after with a teenager & her friends. It was never abused or wrecked but it was not loved by a non-car person. It has been sitting for some time unused since she is now in college & does not want it anymore. I have spent 8-10k on brand new high performance upgrades including the following: Bilstein/H&R suspension including complete re-build with H&R over sized sway bars, all bushings ,control arms & links are new, Victor Equipment 18 inch wheels, Stebro exhaust with secondary by pass pipes. Currently it has H&R lowering springs (one snapped). I will include the oem springs. $2000.00 was recently spent on a brand new roof with heated real glass window!!!!!!!!!. 986 Boxsters came oem with plastic rear windows. The engine was replaced at 106,000 mile with a brand new Porsche 3.2 liter S motor from Germany at a cost of $12,000. Motor was $9,000, balance was labor rate cost. So the motor has approx. 65,000 miles on the clock. Interior is in really good shape. Nice leather power seats etc. Includes carbon fiber tip shifter & surround. New Porsche glass wind protector between headrest. The car is quick & handles like its on rails with the upgraded suspension. The body is rough shape with lots of scratches, small dings , stone chips & ripples in the front left fender & rear deck lid as a result of friends sitting on a car made of paper thin aluminum. Girls!!! go figure? |

Mercedes-AMG GT vs. Porsche 911 [w/poll]
Thu, 11 Sep 2014Mercedes-Benz designed the AMG GT to compete head-on with the Porsche 911. It's a clear, singular purpose, and Benz brings a lot of money, technology and race-bred expertise to the fight.
The AMG GT is Merc's followup to the awesome SLS AMG, the retro-modern, gullwing-doored coupe that took us by storm half a decade ago. But this new GT coupe is a more focused sports car than the SLS, rather than an all out supercar capable of extreme performance. It's got a brand-new V8 engine, and state-of-the-art technology that help it to not only be a proper Mercedes, but to be a serious performer.
Mercedes will sell its new baby in two models. The GT S arrives first, in spring 2015, followed by the standard GT in mid-2016. Of course, there's room to grow from there. And while Porsche may have already expanded its 911 range to include a vast variety of models, here's how Stuttgart's icon stacks up against Affalterbach's bad boy.
Parents of terminally ill child sue after son dies following make-a-wish-style ride
Wed, 30 Jul 2014Some stories are so sad and depressing, they make you want to go back to bed and pull the covers over your head. This is one such story. 14-year-old Raphael Wittman was suffering from an unspecified form of terminal cancer when he was invited by the children's cancer charity Kinder Krebs Hilfe to a charity drive organized by Porsche Forum Austria. During the drive, the Porsche Boxster Wittman was riding in was involved in a head-on collision. Both of his legs were broken and he bit off his tongue in the wreck. He died seven weeks later, in a Vienna hospital. Now, his father is suing the charity, claiming that the accident robbed his son of the will to live.
"The accident set off a chain of events starting with the doctors putting him on new medication for the cancer he had. He was always a fighter, but suddenly he was saying that he was not going to fight any more," Franz Wittman told Austria's Kurier, according to The Guardian. "We would have had a wonderful last time together [on vacation] but it never happened because of the accident."
Father and son were originally planning to go to Tenerife to spend time together, although those plans were cancelled following the accident.
Watch Porsche legend Jeff Zwart frolic in the snow in his 356
Wed, 14 May 2014Racing driver Jeff Zwart picked up a 1953 Porsche 356 Pre A to use as a historical prop in a Cayenne commercial, then decided to keep it when the filming was done. Then, explaining to filmmaker Will Roegge that his vintage toy does really well in slippery conditions, Zwart throws it around in the Colorado snow - on pencil-thin studded tires on 16-inch wheels - to prove the point.
Don't expect roostertails in this winter wonderland video, however; with just about 60 horsepower at sea level, gumption drops to about 40 hp when playing at 9,000 mountainous feet. But that's still plenty to work as a testament to the phrase, "If you've got it, flaunt it," and you can watch it below.
