I think I like the bottom of the 959 better than the top. Any pics of the NACA ducts that lead to the front brake coolling hoses?

If that thing were in the ocean, sharks would flee.

Az911 01-16-2004 09:25 AM

Yeah that thing needs to be lowered big time.

I would drive that car 200mph+ anytime

Zuff911 01-16-2004 09:28 AM

I beleive the 959 has electronic ride height control. Toggles switches mounted near the shifter can be used to raise and lower the car. Maybe the owner just has the car raised so he doesn't have to worry about speed bumps and such.

Surely thats not a real one? Wing mirrors look odd too.

masraum 01-16-2004 09:38 AM

I dunno, looks pretty good to not be real, and most fakes don't take the time to perform aero ond the bottom of the car. I bet it is real.

The back end does look kinda funny though, but yes, they do have 3 settings for ride height, something like 5 10 and 15 cm

A 959 in a parking lot and a Pepperwagon passing by in traffic, pretty cool. There probably isnt a single example of either of those cars here.

Kevin Stewart 01-16-2004 09:50 AM

looking at the front bumper it has pop up head light washers which I dont think the kits have, something is odd about the rear bumper, im gonna look into the mirrors, Kevin

Must be a light engine and/or weird alignment, or I really do not understand the 959's stance :confused: :confused: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1074279063.jpg

Did you get a shot of the VIN?

thrown_hammer 01-16-2004 09:57 AM

I wonder if thats the same 959 I saw at Hooters in Newport Beach on 1/07/04?

Only in Venice Beach - and yes, looks real, Dual fillers - underbody (which you know OTTO was thinking the same thing taking that picture!)

Cool - wierd ride height -

How fast would I go? As fast as I can get away until Mr. Policeman takes me off in cuffs with a big honking smile on my face!

I've seen quite a few fakes (most often, they look pretty bad).

This looks real - but with a funky ride height (my mom's old Buick used to go "full raise" when the ride height was broken - maybe this '959' needs a bit of TLC).

Oh, I'd take the 959 to Nevada and do 200 mph!

Looks like the Mustang I had in high school with the adjustable air shocks pumped way up.
