saw a very strange car on the freeway tonight (917???)

So I was out in the 914 tonight. I was driving back home on I-5 south near Camp Pendleton, about midnight.

I saw a strange looking yellow car up ahead with a short and rectangular rear end, but high off the ground. It looked exotic. I thought it was a Ferrari or Lambo at first.

I pulled up closer and noticed a PORSCHE in black script the side under the driver's "door". Still had no idea what it was but started to get very interested. It did not look like it belonged on the street but it did have decent ground clearance.

I pulled up along side and openly stared from the next lane over. I had to slow down quite a bit and he must have been doing under 65. The driver noticed my car and we stared at each other for a minute.

He stomped on the gas and zipped forward a couple car lengths, then let off again, shooting big yellow flames out the exhaust. Now I could see the huge turbo and exhaust this thing had. It was unreal. The flames died down to a dim blue for a few seconds and went out.

I pulled up to him again and gave him a big thumbs up, then pulled away and continued driving home still trying to figure out what just happened.


It looked a lot like this:
Imagine it in yellow with black script.



The turbo was big and the exhaust came off the side of the turbo and bent back, one large pipe.

Maybe a replica?

It definitely wasn't a 914.
