If I could afford that car, I'd move to the US.

Sonofabitch! I have the same turbo in my car... only one of them mind you, and I can only hit 1.1bar at 3200 RPM! I read an article about the 959 vs. 996TT and the 959 comes up short in every test... but then again the car was built in 1988. It took 13 years until a comparable street car was built.

Yeah, like that's a street legal car.


And with only 250 959s ever build, you have one very unique fast car. But you can get 3 or 4 GT2 for the price. :)
