Could it be this?

Dynamic engine mounts are also part of the Sport Chrono Package. The electronically controlled system minimises the perceptible oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, particularly the engine, and combines the benefits of a hard or soft engine mounting arrangement. In short, it enhances both driving stability and driving comfort.

A bid inside the last two minutes, adds two minutes to the ending time, so. . . .no

I don't see any reason to bid again until Monday. I'm sure it will at least get to the high 60s, we would be in around there. I originally thought it would go for a lot more, but it is a very polarizing build, so now I'm having a hard time estimating the market. There is a little discussion on rennlist about it. Similar cross section of opinions to us.

I think $60k is way low, the MSRP was $142k and the car is barely 3 years old, also you said it earlier that this is your perfect build. I wouldn't bid today I would wait until the last 20-30 minutes and then place a bid but I'd be prepared to go up at a minimum into the $70k to $80k range and would I be crazy to say that would still be a very good deal

That's pretty much where our head is

Josh, as a 2017, is this the 991.2 with a turbo engine? I hadn't clicked on the link before so I hadn't realized (though I should have guessed something was up from the LED headlights).

The base 991.2 should have strong torque, something the 991.1 base was not the best at.

Have you driven this engine? It should be quite strong, a turbo 6...

I agree with Alan, a no reserve auction on a car like this is quite a leap of faith, especially given how many RNM auctions there have been recently.

This is an odd car; it may be the most heavily optioned base 911 cab out there. The fact that it’s got all those options but is a stick and isn’t an S means there about 4 people in the country that will find it appealing. Let’s hope the other 3 don’t see the auction!

Carfax notwithstanding, I'd be surprised if this car doesn't hit mid-70's.

It is a 991.2 w the 3.0 turbo. It is such a unicorn, I'm genuinely curious how this all goes. I placed that first bid last night just to be sure I was able to

I'm with you ... Josh is going to get a great deal on this car !! Let find out who the other 3 are and block there access to BAT
