That modded 959 would be a dream ride, with the Bilst suspension and all that power (HP and TQ) wooooweee. Heck it beat the Ruf GT2 in their comparo, wow

When I read the Excellence mag article on the 959, I don't think that they mentioned the Bill Gates connection. Thanks for a great link.

My favorite line courtesy of Autoweek...

Glad to hear that Porsche still loves the 959 and was willing to work with them. Almost, kinda surprises me
