Depending on a MD's diagnosis of my right shoulder, I may sell my baby. 6 months after surgery and I still am in pain shifting. If it doesn't bring enough though, I'll just keep it and give it to my son for his 16th birthday. He's 8 months old, and I'm serious.

Extremely well setup and heavily modified by Synergy Racing, 2006 997S with just about every mod available that's worth a hoot. 24k miles. Black car in the middle.

 

I enjoyed your article, and hope you will recover and enjoy your car again!

 

how much? pics?

 

Thank you very much on both accounts.

 

PM sent, but here's a few more pics.

 

$$$$$?

 

The car looks great, Jared. Good luck on your decision. I know you'll get tons of offers, it's just a matter if you want to take up on them

 

you should probably let people know how much you have into it or a rough idea what you want for it

 

^^ yes..... How much?

 

Isn't the SC out of the car?

What does it have currently in it?

 

Sorry guys. I really hadn't thought about the price on the car. Probably between $80k and $90k.

Right now, it has a new (as in less than 100 miles, straight from Porsche) 3.8L in it. Car has 24k miles on it. I will add up the receipts, but as the car sits, a solid estimate invested into it is $175k-200k, INCLUDING the price of the car. Sticker was $94,200.

Details:

Car-
2006 Carrera S. 24k miles. 6 speed. Full leather. 2 tone leather (dark and light gray).
Had a slow slide into a tire wall in which I had to replace the driver fender. To be safe, I we replaced all the suspension stuff because I was going to anyway. I had a catalytic converter break up and the engine sucked in part of the catalyst, so I replaced the engine instead of rebuilding it. The expensive, but right way to do it, in my opinion.

Car was built originally by Synergy Racing. Since then, I have moved and Racer's Edge/European Auto Garage (one of the most impressive shops I've seen in the east coast) has had it in their care. They all can attest for everything done to the car... as does the Excellence article. Since that article, I have done another article for the same mag in which I tested the Panamera. I say this though, because I didn't know anyone at the magazine at the time of the 997S article. There was no favoritism in the outcome. We became buddies through and after that article. Anyway, the only differences from the article to now is that it has a new engine, a Softronic Flash, a new (but same) GMG World Challenge Center Exit exhaust, no supercharger this time, took the roll bar out and sold it, took the Cobra Seats out (as well as the OMP 6 point harnesses) but have them all, including hardware. Have the stock seats and belts in it now just because I knew I'd be recovering from surgery, as well as breaking in the new engine. I didn't care for the last roll bar, so I planned on installing a DASSport one this go around. Oh, I took off the Brembos on the front. They would hit the inside of my wheels coming out of high speeds somehow. They also got too heated. I attest that the stock brakes are better when used with great pads, fluid, and stainless lines.

I'll start with the suspension because it's why the car is so great. However, the result is greater than the sum of the parts, because of the Synergy geniuses.

Moton Clubsport Coilovers with very trick mounting for remotes in the front

Windshield has some chips. Had chips in hood just fixed. Looks new. Car is show quality.

If interested, I can show receipts for all this stuff. Also, let me know of any specific pics you might want. I'm still thinking this through, but I figured that I should go ahead and get the word out just in case.

Jared

 

I've driven the car and had it at three "Cars and Coffee" events held at European Auto Garage. This car is better than my 996 GT3 and gets "thumbs up" everywhere I've taken it in the Knoxville area. I cannot imagine a better 997 that has a better lineage in the U.S.

Good luck if you sell it!

Minid will be very disappointed if you sell it!

 

Wow. Pretty heavy, DH. I appreciate it!

 

Jared,

A very fair asking price, excellent deal for someone looking for a well setup track weapon, too bad you're competing sales with a 7GT3 at this price.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

 

Looks like a beautiful and well sorted 911! Good luck with the sale, but more importantly good luck with the recovery so that you don't have to sell her!
