C4 lightweight, oh my gawwwd, this car makes me weak on the knees. This is my favorite feature:



Fully tunable front, rear and center diff so you can dial in oversteer/understeer on the fly at the turn of a knob!!!

There was one for sale in the UK for about 140,000 pounds a while back, had like 9 miles on the odo if I remember correctly.

That thing was so packed w/ gee whiz items..
here's another

That's interesting, I thought those were brake proportioning controls. The ability to control the AWD system is way cool. There's an aftermarket module similar to that for the Haldex controlled Audis and VWs. I have heard that it's alot of fun.

Yeah, I saw that yesterday too. Very trick car, you walk by and see another plain Jane 964, at first, then all the little things start popping out at you.

911 and Porsche World did a feature on an identical car last year. According to the article those are very rare, built for a racing series that never got off the ground. I think only 18-19 were built.
The engine isn't especially trick (balanced and blueprinted by the factory) but the car is gutted, no body schultz, all the seams welded solid, ect.

Where was that gathering of porsches? Is Loudonville far from the city?

It has a left/right arrow and and fore/aft arrow for the other knob. How does it work?

I thought those knobs were plow controls at first. I thought it was a joke or something...............
