Default spotted a rare porsche

i never thought i'd see one of these on the road, (in fact, never thought i'd see one in person). And to the average joe they'd never know how special this car was/is. (if you were born after 1980 you probably don't have a clue about it either). Back in the day this VERY RARE car was the ****! 0 to 100 in 3.7 sec. via twin turbo's and AWD!

Spotted on the DVP friday afternoon, a Porsche 959 from the U.S. I was only able to get one shot before he pulled away. The guy driving it was older and grey haired (Ralph Lauren possibly???)

Whoa, for some reason I was under the impression that you couldn't even register them because of minimum bumper requirements or some ----.

I guess they are old enough to get around that now.

Test Drive 2 ftw!

I had the Muscle Car expansion. Hemi Charger all the way.

That screen shot is from Test Drive 1 btw. The Lotus Esprit if I remember correctly.

sorry dude you still haven't seen one, that one's FAKE. real 959s came with a single lug. that silver one is probably just a 911 with a kit on it.

I say it's a kit for two reasons. Number one, it looks slightly off (wheels, rear spoiler etc). Number two: real 959s sell for over $500000 on auctions. Who in their right mind would drive such a collectable from the States to Ontario and then to make things worse take it on DVP?
