font-size 11.0pt;Launched in the United States during the spring of
1998 as a 199 model, the all-new 996-generation Porsche 911 marked
nothing short of a revolution in the hallowed halls of Stuttgart.
Excellence magazine\'s editors described the impact of the new 996
best in a recent edition of its Porsche Buyers Guide After 35 years
of updated models, the new 996 was the first 100-persent new 911
since 1964. And what a 911 it was Larger yet lighter than its
predecessor, the 996 was also more powerful, more refined, more
aerodynamic, and easier to drive than the 993. Totally new, the
996-series 911 featured a water-cooled flat-6 engine for the very
first time. In addition to providing greater power output and scope
for future development, the new four cam operated valvetrain and
VarioCam system allowed 25 degrees of adjustment for the intake cam
timing, dictated by engine speed and load./p\r\np stylemargin 0in;

0in; font-family Calibri; font-size 11.0pt;Displacing 3,387 cc,
this short-stroke engine was made for high operating speeds and
with 11.3 compression, it delivered 296 DIN horsepower at 6,800 rpm
in basic form 320 bhp SAE and gave the new 911 the power and
performance to match its sleek new body. Regarding the new 911\'s
body, the 911/996, better aerodynamics and lower rear-end lift were
designed-in benefits of the new body style, along with lower
overall weight, sharpening overall performance and handling, which
remains stellar and includes 0-to-60 acceleration in less than 5
seconds with the rear-mounted flat-6 developing 320 brake
horsepower and 273 foot-pounds of useful torque output. Produced
during November 2002 and carrying an MSRP of 78,850 when new, this
striking 2003 Porsche Carrera is a highly desirable 6-speed manual
gearbox car with only 57,700 miles that benefits from very good
care and maintenance. Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over black
leather, this highly optioned sunroof example was also
factory-equipped with heated front seats, 18-inch light alloy
Carrera wheels, a rear window wiper, Porsche Stability Management,
the Bose high-end sound package, black floor mats with Porsche
lettering, power seat and Xenon headlamp packages, and
aluminum-faced instrument dials. As offered, this outstanding
example includes a clean Carfax report confirming plenty of service
records. Importantly, the IMS bearing has been replaced. Clean Car
