Only issue with the car is the front bumper has a couple rock chips. I will get it repainted if the new owner would like.
This has hands down been the most fun car I have ever owned. I have not had any mechanical issue with the car and since I purchased it I have done a slew of things to it including oil change, coolant flush and brakes. Plugs were changed around 200 miles ago to fresh stock plugs and gapped down. All service done at either BBI Autosport or Cobb Tuning So Cal.
This car has never been raced while I owned it, never seen a track. I rarely drove it and it sat in doors with a car cover over it.
Now, as the car sits it makes 580WHP and about 580ft/lbs of torque to the wheels. It is tuned way down as not to be aggressive on the rods. The car has tunes for E85 and 91 Octane. This car runs as good as stock if not better. I have a lot of time in the tune on this car so I can say it would be hard to find a better running car. This is also the perfect setup for someone who wants to do a 997 Turbo with bigger turbos, as this car has literally everything that would be needed to do bigger turbos minus the turbos and the lines.
These are the modifications done to the car as of right now:
Engine:
GMG Exhaust with High Flow Cats
Cobb Tuning 1000cc Injectors
Cobb Tuning Accessport with various different calibrations
OS Giken Twin Disc Clutch
Suspension:
Eibach Lowering Springs
Stock wheels and tires are brand new!
Exterior:
LED Tail lights
LED DRL's
Fixed spoiler Kit ( Not Installed)
Interior:
Has the bluetooth module/ Ipod hook up.
LED Lights for all interior lights
Passport Radar Detector Hardwired
Price is as follows:
$65,000 firm. No trades, no low ball offers. This is the price.
Please email me if you are interested in the car.
DO NOT PM!
There is a group of people that will get the PM's notification and this is a sale of my personal car not Cobb as a company.
[email removed]
Please let me know if you have any questions at all! Happy to answer any questions and can ship ( Buyer would pay but we have a good amount of transport companies that we use)
Thanks for looking!

when washing, don't use circular motion. go in straight line. keep changing water in bucket and rinse car plenty before washing. I use a thick pile lamb skin mitt. Put on several coats of polish / wax.
check out
www.griotsgarage.com
..
I have several friends with black cars that are over 5 years old... no swirl marks at all! Great Polish and wax job! pick up the Griots car wash, and mitts, then dry with the Mircofiber drying towel.. that thing is awesome!!
Use clean soft mits to soap and try Mr. Clean Auto Dry, it uses distilled water to air dry your car so you never have to use a shami or anything else to cause more swirl marks. Touchless drying with virtually no water marks.
You can have all of the greatest products in the world but if youre washing procedure is flaw'd you'll still get swirls and light surface marring.
Here's what you need for proper upkeep:
2 buckets
2 wash mits
2 microfiber drying towels
Proper Auto wash (I like Megs Gold class as it's easy to get and has good lubricancy (sp?))
Mix one bucket of water with your wash soap and another about 1/2 way full with just water. Dunk your wash mit in the soapy water solution and make one pass on the car. Flip the mit over and make another pass on the car. If the area is not overly dirty you can make a couple of passes before flipping the mit. I'd never suggest more than 1/2 a pannel at a time. Also...always work from the top to the bottom and your back-and-forth motions should be in the direction that wind flows over the car. Go directly from the car into the clean water bucket. Aggitate the surface of the mit quickly in that bucket to loosen dirt and then remove and wring excess water from mit. Dunk in Soapy water bucket and repeat. If your clean water bucket becomes dirty dump and re-fill with clean water.
Use a separate mit for the bottom of the car then you did for the top of the car. Make sure you mark this mit and never mix the two up. Always wash your mits after EVERY use to insure they are as clean and free of contaminants as possible.
When finished take the nossel off of your hose and run streaming water over the car. This will help with sheeting of water on the surface of the car and leave less water to remove when drying.
Use your waffle weave towels to remove water from the surface of the car. Don't wipe back and forth like you may instinctively think. Lay the towel flat on the surface of the car and drag across the surface to remove water. (again in the direction that the wind would move over the car). Two Microfibers should easily dry a 911.
This all may sound a bit over the top BUT once you get used to the procedure it really adds very little time overall to your routein. I clean wheels, tires, wheel wells, door jambs before the remainder of the car to cut down on water spotting. Always use clean / fresh water when doing the main body of the car.
Porsche paint is a detailers dream...soft and easy to work with making a detailer look like a hero with very little effort. Unfortunatly for an enthusiest it makes the paint very hard to maintain.

If your car has a substantial amount of mud, dirt, sand, and dust, that has caked on or has accumulated over time,
a car wash without water
isn’t advisable. Because merely wiping them with a waterless wash would result in scratches on the paintwork.
I have no swirl marks on any of my cars. That's because I do all of my polishing myself. Swirl marks are caused by a pad that hasn't been cleaned properly. The pad on the polisher has dried-on wax or polish that scratches your surface. The detailer hides the swirl marks he caused by polishing the paint by using filler to fill in the scratch marks he caused. After a few washes, the filler is washed away and you see the scratch marks and you wonder how they got there. The best way to get rid of swirl marks is to remove them using a mild abrasive polish yourself. You can can call Autopia for advice on which abrasive to buy. Remember, swirl marks are the hallmark of a lazy detailer.
yeah, isn't that great! someone drives it around ( gorgeous perfect specimen btw ) adds another 268 miles to the odo..takes some better pics and adds $4800+ to the price! certainly their prerogative. was a steal at 65 though.
gotta love used car dealers. sheesh.

LOL.......I bought my 07997tt from a Porsche dealer in SC for $77 and sold it a few months later for $82. Don't be a hater........its not a very attractive quality.
Quote:
i was merely pointing out a statement of fact, and while I'm familiar with the term, i'm not sure where you got the "hate" from? it was more of a bemused disdain, if you must know
car was sold a couple months ago, and now with more miles and now at an indie dealer and the price went up by nearly 5k?! and my mention of that is hating? lol. need to re-learn your hip hop speak...
and the last thing i'd want to have for you is "attractive qualities", but sure. i'll take it under advisement. ahh, no i won't actually

No worries..... Some years ago, a rich kid sold me his 1-yr old $60,000.00 Supra Turbo for $7,500.00. I kept it for 3 years as a DD and sold it for a lot more years later.

That was a quick sale, but I could have guessed that much. What am amazing car! If this was still for sale, I would be ALL over it. Great build and lucky new owner!
