Oklahoma City As the 20th Century drew to a close, Porsche did the
unthinkable ? it changed the formula for its iconic 911 model for
the first time since 1963. The Porsche 996 is the result, with its
water-cooled flat six (still in the rear) leading the
modifications. This example is one of 6,543 996 Carrera Coupes made
in 2001. This 996 has had the following recent service work:
1/22/19 r&r transmission, replace IMS bearing, RMS, oil
separator, clutch, replaced Vario cams on both sides of engine,
resealed cam covers by Mayo Performance of Euless, Texas. 7/16/19
replace mass air flow sensor and adjust to work with K&N air
intake at Porsche of Oklahoma City. 5/14/19 Replaced alternator at
Porsche of Oklahoma City. It left the Porsche factory in Stuttgart,
Germany in June 2001 with the following options ? side skirts (code
X76); headlamp washers (code 288); CD compartment (code 424);
three-spoke steering wheel (code 436); Porsche Stability Management
(code 476); basic sound system (code 490); xenon headlamps (code
601); on-board computer (code 659); and Becker Porsche CDR-220
AM/FM stereo with CD player (code 696). Dressed in Arctic Silver
Metallic (code L92U), the paint and trim are in overall excellent
shape, with perhaps only the most minor blemishes visible at close
range. The car?s body is solid, the frunk is in very good order,
the engine bay is very tidy and the body-colored bumpers fit
tightly to the body and look great. Aftermarket modifications
include a chin spoiler. This 996 rolls on BFGoodrich g-Force
Competition 2 radials, size 235/40ZR18 at every corner. Each tire
is mounted to a black, five-spoke factory wheels. The tires are in
very good condition with decent amounts of tread. Out back is a
3.4L DOHC, aluminum, water-cooled flat six-cylinder engine with
VarioCam variable valve timing, electronic ignition and fuel
injection and it breathes via Porsche sport mufflers. In 2018, a
previous owner had the car serviced with new spark plugs, oil
return seals and engine mounts and fitted a K&N air filter.
Backing this motor is a six-speed manual transmission with a
short-shift kit and a 3.44:1 differential. Driver convenience and
safety features are plentiful ? automatic climate control, sunroof,
force sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering, power four-wheel
ventilated and perforated disc brakes with anti-lock and
four-piston calipers, power windows, cruise control, power and
heated sideview mirrors, movable rear wing and xenon headlamps. The
car also sports aftermarket tinted glass, factory side skirts, an
aftermarket chin spoiler and driver and passenger front airbags
plus door-mounted side impact airbags. Inside, the seats are
trimmed in black leather with gray ultrasuede inserts. The seats
are in good, original order, including the rear demi bucket but
there are some blemishes evident in the driver?s seat. The black
carpet is in very good shape, as is the gray headliner. A
three-spoke leather steering wheel faces the driver and looks great
while the dashboard and inner door liners are in excellent order.
The center console and shift lever are in very good order. A
factory Porsche Becker CDR-220 AM/FM stereo with CD player
completes the interior but is currently inoperable. At its debut,
the 996 featured the most significant change from the classic 911
series: a water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled
engine. Progressively stringent emissions and noise regulations,
environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and the
need for a high-performance four valves per cylinder engine made
the switch necessary. Other major changes include a completely new
platform having a sleeker body with a more raked windshield, and a
re-designed interior along with new ?fried egg? shaped headlamps
(so called due the amber-colored turn signals) instead of previous
?bug eye? headlamps. The Porsche 996 the first 911 that was
completely redesigned and carried over little from its predecessor.
As Porsche wanted the design team to design a 911 for the next
millennium. Featuring all-new body work, interior and the first
water-cooled engine, the 996 replaced the 993, from which only the
front suspension, rear multi-link suspension and a six-speed manual
transmission were retained but in revised forms. The 996 had a drag
coefficient of Cd=0.30 resulting from hours spent in the wind
tunnel. The 996 is seven inches longer and two inches wider than
its predecessor. It is also 45 percent stiffer courtesy of a
chassis formed from high-strength steel. Additionally, it is 110
pounds lighter despite having additional radiators and coolant.
Competition to this Porsche in 2001 included Acura?s NSX, Aston
Martin?s DB7 Vantage, BMW?s M Coupe, Chevrolet?s Camaro Z-28,
Ford?s Mustang SVT Cobra and Pontiac?s Firebird Formula. Porsche
