959s are a cool moment in time car, but don't do much for me. Seems not to far off a functional prototype for a plain ol pedestrian 993tt. f40 by contrast was its own unique thing and end of an era. I am sure the new 959 owner will have one of these as well though.
Right, if I was uber rich, I'd probably have one as a moment in time pinnacle, but they haven't really excited me since they were pretty new. At the time, their technology and performance is what excited me, but to me, they haven't aged well. When they came out, I found the 959 much more exciting than the F40. Now, I actually prefer the M F1 and F F40.

I would prefer to have a GT1 to a 959. I would , however, love to have a CGT (even more than a GT1). I think the CGT is going to age better than the 959 or GT1, but ask me again in 20 years.
