Never had or driven one, but I guess it's obviously a grail rocket. Anyone?        |

Had the poster with the hot leggy blonde splayed out on the hood
back in the Eighties in my basement pool room All I could afford then was a tuned GTI My cousin who is a dealer GM in O.C. turned me loose in one from their used luxury lot once while I was visiting It was good |

AWD FTW - always.  |

The Kardashian of Porsche! I think that is way fuglier than a slant nose. |

The red one is sexy has hell. In the mid-80s I worked for a company where the CEO drove one just like that but dark blue. Walked past it every day since it was parked in the closest-to-the-door reserved spot. :-)
Every once in a while I look up prices on one. But 80s technology? No thanks. ETA: you do have a photo of a blue one just like his, don't know how I missed it. Derp. |

Saw one in the flesh a couple weeks ago. My boys and i went to the Pirelli world challenge in tooele UT. One of the owners odpf a race car and his sone were driving a 959 and a LaFerrari to Pebble Beach. Totally amazing to see a 959. |

Guy local to me shows up to a Cars&Coffee with an F40. If he shows up with a 959 I will wet myself. Same dude has a Porsche 918 and a Veyron so there may just be a 959 lurking around his garage. |
Not even my favorite style of Porsche, but I'd rather push a slant nose from place to place than drive a MKT.

Quoted: The entire car is, but I will maintain that the 930 is the best looking 911 ever produced. http://munitechmotorcars.com/88~930~1283/DSCN0043.JPG Quoted: Quoted: Too much VW bug styling in the back end.  http://munitechmotorcars.com/88~930~1283/DSCN0043.JPG Yes. |

Too much VW bug styling in the back end. http://munitechmotorcars.com/88~930~1283/DSCN0043.JPG That is beautiful and as pure Porsche as you can get. Never really liked the slant nose. It looks like some engineer wanted 944 up front and 911 in the back. The back and front just seem unbalanced, from a visual standpoint. Plus I never really liked pop up headlights on any car, the exception being the 944. |

My uncle built one in the early nineties out of a targa.
Had a 3.2 liter normally aspirated engine. It was geared for the track, but would easily do 150 mph. We raced it in the Silver State Classic twice. He also had one built from a 74 911 We Had a tread peel of the right rear tire a 145 mph. Never started wobbling until we slowed down to 50. Porsches are just great cars.. |
