Description:
Extensively prepped and pampered 987 with Vision Motorsports / Bodymotion 4.2L motor for sale.
3 owner car; clean Carfax; no stories or accidents. I purchased in mid-2016, at which time, it was a mildly-built street car with a tuned, but factory 3.4. I started to push the limits with more track time on aggressive suspension and tires, and the 3.4 fatally oil starved in late 2016.
I shipped the car to Bodymotion in NJ for assessment and rebuild. We chose a complete 4.2 liter motor from Vision Motorsports in California. The motor is bored and stroked from an X51 3.8S 997, with reworked heads, Carillo rods, JE pistons, custom knife-edge crank, and plenty of preventative oiling modifications. Mileage at 4.2 install was 89,826. Proper break-in protocol followed for over 1,000 initial miles. I have Vision's build sheet and warranty, which they consider proprietary, but will pass along to the next owner. The motor itself and installation was well over $50,000.
As listed below, I have progressively upgraded just about every aspect of the car over time. It handles amazingly, remains in stellar aesthetic condition for a dedicated track car, and holds its own on the track against most cars short of PDK GTx models. I have not had the car on the dyno, as local access is spotty and unreliable. Comparable builds should place it over 400 at the wheels. I maintain the car religiously, and feed it Gibbs XP-9 oil and get Blackstone reports on each change (every 2 DEs).
The build highlights - in no particular order - are:
- Transmission rebuilt at 65k miles
- Numeric short shift
- Factory Porsche Cup shift cables

- Front and rear radiator screens

- Getty carbon fiber rear decklid spoiler and carbon GT-style wing
- SST wing risers
- Rennline rear subframe stabilizer with tie-down hooks
I exclusively use the car as a track toy, but it could be a dual-purpose car as well. It is too loud for street driving as it sits, but the original headers and a milder muffler would remedy that. It should pass emissions just about anywhere with those revisions (maybe fewer). On softer settings, the JRZs are not intolerable at all.
Please feel free to ask questions, and PM for offers, or requests for more specific / detailed photos.
Thanks for looking.
