I want to buy a secondhand porsche but don’t drive manual. What years can I shop for?

how come everytime i see a porsche 911 on the road, it’s driven by an old guy going slow?

I am part of a forum site called TheAutobahn.com (Which I greatly refer any Porsche enthusiast to.), and I’m looking to get funds started to buy a Porsche 911 and make a race car for the Grand Am Rolex series. How do I get funds started???

What are their pros and cons, if any?

Are they easy and affordable to work on as far as Porches are concerned?

Was there ever a turbo or Supercharged version of these made from the factory?

Can you still get all the parts for these cars without too much hassle?

Are there some years that are better than others?

Is there a good website devoted to this specific Porsche?

Thank you.

I’m just wondering if they are owned by the same parent/holding company

in the us.

Why does a Carrera GT has such a raspy exhaust note? I want to know what gives the engine this sound. I know it is not because it “revs high,” a BMW M5 doesn’t sound like this. It’s not because of the mufflers because it’s still raspy with straight pipes.
Maybe a better car to compare to is a Lamboghini Gallardo. Both relatively small, high reving, dual over cam engines, with similar placement.

Why would these two engines, both with straight pipes have dramatically different exhaust notes? For comparison listen to the AWE Carrera GT w/straight pipes and Fabspeed’s Gallardo w/straight pipes. One sounds like a race car the other sounds like a car without a muffler.

I am looking for specific engine design(s) that gives the CGT it’s sound. Maybe it’s the shape of the exhaust ports in the heads, that kind of thing.

The Porsche Cayenne is a large SUV (sports utility vehicle) from German car manufacturer, Porsche. It is available with a choice of petrol engines and has five seats, five doors and four-wheel drive. The Cayenne is available with both manual and automatic (tiptronic) gearboxes. Its four-wheel system can send 100 per cent of the engine’s power, in any mix, between the front and rear axles. A low-range gearbox is also standard.

 

PORSCHE CAYENNE HISTORY

The Porsche Cayenne concept was announced in 1998 and came into production in 2002. It was the first large family-type vehicle that Porsche had made after having a long history of just producing roadsters and sports cars. The Cayenne was co-developed with Volkswagen, who was keen to add a sports utility vehicle to their extensive line-up as a cost-sharing initiative. In terms of design, the Cayenne has many similarities to the VW Touareg and the Audi Q7

TYPES

The Porsche Cayenne is available in five different variants. The entry level model is the standard Porsche Cayenne. Next is the Cayenne S. This is followed by the Cayenne GTS and then there are the two top-of-the-range models; the Cayenne turbo and Cayenne turbo S. All of the Cayenne vehicles are powered by petrol engines. The entry level model has a 3.6-litre V6 (232 PS) unit. The S and GTS models use 4.8-litre V8 units (385 and 405 PS). The Cayenne turbo and turbo S models use 4.8-litre twin-turbo charged V8 units (500 PS and 550 PS respectively).

DID YOU KNOW?



Critics originally thought that the Cayenne would be unsuccessful as buyers would not want to buy a vehicle of that nature from a manufacturer with such an extensive sports car heritage. Porsche made a prediction that they would sell around 80,000 Porsche Cayennes, but in actual fact they have sold over 150,000 to date.

The Porsche Cayenne is the first V8-engined vehicle built by Porsche since 1995, when the Porsche 928 was discontinued. Porsche are set to introduce a diesel engine into the Cayenne line-up from March 2009. This engine is to be sourced from VW and will be a 300 PS 3.2-litre V6.

1)Enzo Ferrari
2)Lamborghini Murcielago
3)Porsche Carrera GT
