Win a Factory Aerokit 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (996.1, 6-Speed) — RoadCourse Club RC03

What you're looking at

This is RoadCourse Club's third giveaway car (RC03): a 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 — a 996.1 — finished in the rare factory aerokit body and backed by a 3.4L M96 flat-six and a proper six-speed manual. The aerokit is the part to circle. It was a low-volume Porsche Exclusive/Tequipment option, so most 996.1 Carrera 4s you see are smooth-bumpered base cars; a genuine aerokit example is meaningfully scarcer. The build reads like an enthusiast's track-day 911: KW coilovers and Rebel Racing drop links sort the chassis, a Revo ECU tune and baffled oil pan back up the engine, and the cabin has been lightened with a roll bar where the rear seats used to be, a GT3-style console delete and a metal pedal set. It rolls on 18-inch GT3 wheels with an updated Continental head unit inside.

Why it matters & the fine print

Every 996 conversation starts and ends with the IMS bearing — the intermediate-shaft bearing whose failure can grenade an M96 engine. RoadCourse Club states this car's IMS bearing has been replaced, which removes the single biggest unknown. The timing is good too: the broader 996 market is up ~40% YoY, average auction money pushing into the mid-$40Ks. Entry is through the Shopify store: instant-entry tiers run $100 (Silver) and $250 (Gold), and merch (tees from $50) each carry entry bundles at $1 spent = 100 entries, so the cheapest paid route is a $50 shirt. There's a free, no-purchase mail-in entry — the footer reads 'No purchase necessary' — but the actual mailing instructions, the entry period, the drawing date, eligibility, the official ARV and any cash alternative all live in the RC03 Official Rules PDF. Treat the value here as our estimate, and check the rules for taxes.
