Guys, been a long time since I have been active on the site. Been a while I have used my turbo as well. What fun it was back in the day when I was converting the car sharing and learning from the group.

Time has come to sell the car. It has been parked since the covid shut down. 3 plus years. I have attached a list of content. There are a ton of great components on the car and the price is reflective of that more than what turbos are selling for these days. The car biggest down side is that is it sold on a bill of sale with a California salvage title. Had it 16 years and enjoyed every moment behind the wheel. It is has 16 years of being sorted and is guaranteed to put put a smile on your face. Let your friends know about it since you all ready have one. Not much more money than a Bring a Trailer Carrera 3.2.

Was built from a fresh water flood car 16 years ago. No lasting issues from the water, any issues would have shown up by now. Spent 5 years in stock trim then a repaint and built to 3.8.

The car is sold with a bill of sale and California salvage title.

This car has sat for three years unused. Since Covid shutdown I have not done any track days. It is built in the theme of what Porsche would have done if they offered a Turbo RS model. The seats are terrific for sporty use but with older joints, not exactly an elegant car to exit. The car runs very strong. It has enough torque to short shift it around 6-6500 with no loss of pull, so the motor has an easy life especially since the internals can handle 8K all day. Even with adjustable boost I seldom take it over 10 lbs. That is plenty of power for the chassis and the current driver. The tune is spec'd for 650 hp.
It has been converted to RWD. Sunroof delete. Rear wiper delete with non wiper glass (no hole). It has 57000 miles with the major rework taking place at 50,000. When the term new is used it is from this mileage. Approximately 700-800 miles per year since 2012.
The front has chips and track rash. The rear bumper has a crack on the lower portion.

Powertrain
Mahle Motorsport 3.8 slip in barrels with matching motorsport turbo pistons.
Elite twinplug cylinder heads, flame ringed. Besides the larger valves these heads are solid at the cylinder flange. They are cast that way as opposed to the common practice of welding that area on a standard head. There is a complete extra set of new valves and springs.
Web RS cams running on new stock hydraulic rockers.
Pauter Rods with Calico coated bearings.
Dual Ignition. 964 twincap distributor.
Bigger injectors / fuel pressure regulator.

Power clutch slave removed replaced with a GT3 manual slave.
RS style short shifter
Single poly V belt fan drive.

No longer an all wheel drive, leather interiored, look at me car but if you want to experience what a top performance air cooled 911 can be this could be the car for you. Very, very presentable but not a Qtip car.

Car is located in Novi, Michigan.
$130,000.

993Godspeed

I think it's a lot of car for that price. Someone will get a great deal. Best of luck!

Thanks Guys, I will miss the right pedal but is time for someone that is better equipped to the pay the tickets to experience it. Surprisingly other than tires and fuel that is all the money you need to spend on it. Compared to all the repairs to keep my RS6 running the 993 needed nothing.

Rick!
I haven’t been as active recently but occasionally check in. Yes fun back in the day!
I’ve been busy with other cars. And although I drive my turbo, haven’t been to the track with it since Covid - and only been once since Covid (took the nsx to area 27). Planning on getting back into it next season, but, it might be an age thing or re-evaluation of risk/benefits, don’t think I have the drive to be the fastest anymore... Doing timing belts on the 308 this weekend…
Good Luck with that sale!
