A lot of automotive journalists - used to driving 600hp Mercedes sedans, Caterhams that can rocket to 60 in just 3 seconds, 996/7 turbos that are as stable at 150 as they are at 50, and Bugatti Veyrons topping 250mph - are underwhelmed when they go back to the 959.

I remember reading an Excellence comparo of... geez, what was it? 996 turbo, 993 turbo S, 959, ... I want to say a 964 turbo S, and maybe a Ruf CTR? ... in any case, if I remember correctly, the 959 came in last in almost every category.
