2003 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet
For your consideration, a very special Porsche Carrera Cabriolet, 996 V2 pampered, but not afraid to be driven daily commuter or track day superstar and yes it goes like hell! Gorgeous Graphite Gray interior full leather jackets, a Midnight Blue Metallic exterior and the drop topper, and life is very good for a great value, you can be in the seat of a 911.
Exterior
Sexy is the keyword for this car and it starts with the aerodynamic integrated bumper, gracefully sloping headlights, and the smooth front hood, all bathed in Porsche Midnight Blue Metallic. All of the gaps are fairly straight, but we do note a few flaws in the paint that are limited to stone chips and a few inclusions along with a yellowed passenger's side headlight. The bulbous rear of the vehicle works with the gray canvas drop top to form the sloping rear, also with a seamless rear body matching bumper complete with the sculpted taillights sounding either edge of the rear quarters. A hidden rear spoiler automatically rises to help with the handling when up to speed and fits nicely into the engine lid. Big 18-inch multi-spoke Porsche wheels are wrapped in low profile all season rubber on all 4 corners.
Interior
Graphite Gray leather, with just a nice touch of some break in wear, covers the high back buckets, emblazoned with embossed Porsche badges in the upper headrests portions. These front a curvaceous sexy dash with some interplay of black panels and cascading circular black faced gauges. A Sirius enabled radio along with AM/FM functions as well as Bluetooth and Navigation can keep you entertained on those long fast commutes via the Autobahn or your local 4 lane interstate track. Take liberties with the speed as this car is enabled with front and rear radar detection, cruise control, memory seats, power windows, power locks, and a power top. Matching pristine Graphite Gray carpet floods the floors and remains amazingly clean. Noted is a gray top cover which adds to the aero look when the top is in the down position.
Drivetrain
Shoehorned into the rear of the car is a 3.6 liter flat 6 cylinder which has the capability of producing 315 peak horsepower. Chiseled stainless steel exhaust snakes its way to the rear bottom of the sportscar. A 6-speed manual transmission is bolted on, and this is a naturally aspirated car with a 3.44 geared rear axle.
Undercarriage
With a 95 percent coverage of ground effects panels, only the wheels are visible from the bottom. The panels are in very good condition with slight road dirt and some scrapes on the lower front cowl of the bodywork. Rockers are solid, and big 4-wheel disc brakes are present along with 4 wheel independent suspension.
Drive-Ability
I could say a good time was had by all, but in reality, it was only me alone on the test track. Here this car has unlimited acceleration, smooth quick braking, and rail-like handling. Steering is snappy and responsive, and this car can cruise all day on the highway. All functions were flawlessly working diligently including the glass rear window top.
Clearly well maintained, snappy 911 styling, big discs all around, and the radar detection to keep you safe from the poh poh add up to serious fun in a very affordable package. Take all the liberties you want, and delight in the fact you are behind the wheel of a classic 911/996..you big shot you!
