TECHNICAL LIBRARY Tracking your car and the M96 Engine The M96 engine was first introduced with the 1997 Porsche® Boxster® and provides exceptional performance for the price. The M96 (and later M97) platform was used successfully through the 2008 model year and was featured in all Boxster®, Cayman® and 911® models, with exception of the GT3, Turbo, and GT2. With solid 986® and 996® models being available for less than $20,000, the 986® and 996® and later 987® and 997® vehicles are a great value and can make for great daily drivers that also can be taken to the track on weekends. Beyond regular preventative maintenance, there are steps to be taken to protect your investment and reduce operating expenses. One mistake can cost thousands. Before going to track, there are a few things to go over beyond normal safety gear like helmet, HANS, and harnesses. Mechanically, there are certain things to check for related to the engine and the rest of the vehicle that can be done by a do-it-yourselfer. The Chicago PCA has a great DE Tech Sheet. Your local PCA Region should have their own version of a tech inspection for its local autocross and DE events.
