Up for auction is this 2004 Porsche 996 Turbo 6-speed presented in Guards Red over a black full leather interior. Generously upgraded by AIM performance, this one of a kind 2004 example features a long list of performance items that lead to a dyno tested output of approximately 700 HP. Highlighting a coveted 3.6 L twin turbocharged Mezger engine, this 996 is now being offered for auction in excellent driving condition showing approximately 77k well documented miles on the odometer.
The classic Guards Red finish is said to remain in excellent condition with a full treatment of ceramic coating along with paint protection film applied over the front bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors. The seller notes that the front bumper was professionally refinished in order to remedy some minor stone chips. Aesthetic upgrades include a Tech Art-style front fascia and side skirts as well as a carbon fiber rear wing. This Turbo rides on a set of sleek 19” HRE Classic wheels with brushed gold faces and polished lips. These wheels come dressed in a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.
This 996 showcases a gorgeous black full leather interior with contrasting details in Guards Red. A hidden JL speaker system has been installed along with GT3-style carbon fiber front bucket seats. Boasting an original sticker price of over $122k, this 996 is outfitted with exclusive factory options include a thicker steering wheel, seat belts in Guards Red and a paint-matched rear center console. The interior is stated to be in excellent shape with all gauges, electrical components and accessories fully functional. An image of the complete build sheet can be found within the photo gallery.
Originally designed for use in the iconic 911 GT1 Le Mans cars, the Mezger engine has become known to many enthusiasts as the ultimate water-cooled Porsche engine. This GT1-derived platform resists IMS bearing related issues as its oil system ensures constant lubrication. This 996 carries a highly sought after 3.6 L twin turbocharged Mezger engine rated at 415 HP stock. Power is distributed to all four wheels by way of a crisp 6-speed manual transmission with a short shifter kit. AIM Performance built and modified this 996 with the goal of attaining maximum power from the stock engine. The following performance modifications have been installed providing for a dyno-tested output of 700 HP:
- Alpha 28 Turbochargers
- Custom MyGenius Tune

- Bilstein PSS10 Suspension
A full service was recently performed which included a fluid/filter change, stage 3 clutch and flywheel, and a new water pump. The seller confirms this Turbo to be in excellent running order.
The sale of this 996 Turbo will include one master key, original books and tools, service records and dyno test results. With approximately 700 HP on tap, this upgraded 2004 Mezger Turbo represents an incredible opportunity for any high-performance Porsche enthusiast.

Just a note that I am willing to store the car in my garage (covered and on a battery tender) for the next few months if need be. I certainly don't want anyone to feel more stress right now. That being said, I would need to complete the financial side of the transaction and title transfer after the end of the auction. Thank you everyone and stay safe and healthy!!

@coloradosportsdoc Never an issue with the car. There is less than 2500 miles on the AIM Performance work. I just changed the oil for the first time since the work last week. Doesn’t burn any noticeable oil.
Bid in the amount of $29,750
@Charlie_boats have you had any mechanical issues with car? How frequently have tou changed oil? Do you need to add any between changes?
@coloradosportsdoc And I won’t be upset if it doesn’t sell. It’s an incredible car and I will continue to enjoy it.
@coloradosportsdoc I purchased the car in May 2018 so it’s been 2 years which is actually a long time for me!
Why are you selling after just over a year of ownership?
Are we close to hitting the reserve yet?

AIM Performance of South Plainfield, NJ is a well respected P car shop and few of their builds are world record holders. I'll get in touch with them if you have any mechanical/performance questions. I have used them in the past and they are straight shooter.
@SizzleChest No. The engine was just out for service and inspected to show no leaks. Also I do not track the car so it never sees high heat cycles.
Cooling pipes/lines been welded or pinned? Thank you!

@Stachmiso I responded to your email about inspecting the car this weekend. Get back to me ASAP.
Bid in the amount of $25,000
@Stachmiso Feel free to come inspect the car. I have a folder full of records from previous owner. I will also note that the car has never seen a drag strip or road course.
@Stachmiso Factory transmission in these cars is good for over 1000hp. No issues at all with anything including 2nd gear pop out. New stage 3 clutch installed less than 5k miles ago.
I would like to come and see it before I do final bid
Do you have service records from previous owners ?
Was anything done to transmission? - no second great pop out?
Fun fact. This is 1 of only 287 turbo coupes sold in North America in 2004.
Bid in the amount of $20,250
For all interested parties. AIM Performance in NJ will vouch for the car and it’s condition. Feel free to reach out to them.
@Stachmiso I have no original parts for the car.
I do not have a dme report, but would be open to one.
AIM did a full compression check after I bought the car in January 2019 and it was perfect.
Do you have original wheels ?
Do you have original seats?
Did you check ECU for overrevs ?
Can you provide compression and leak down numbers?
Bid in the amount of $20,000
@Mercyhealth The wing is fixed.
@Charlie_boats nice car. Is the modified wing fixed or speed actuated?
Hey everyone,
Please feel free to ask any questions as the auction progresses.
Thank you and good luck!
