Dear God! Why?

thats just stoopid!

why, what ?? apart from the spoiler imho thats a cool car,
a bit pricy though i have always loved 911's

QUOTE lol, i saw that before in the flesh.....interesting is one word that could be used

what is it a civic or starlet with a body kit or something like thoes jap ferrari kit cars

No matter how you look at it and no matter how much power it has it just isn't the iconic 959, its a fake, it might be a porsche fake but its still a fake

aahh lads i wouldnt be getting to snobby(for the want of a better word) about this, it is after all a 911 turbo which is a great car. Its not one of thoes imo horrible MR2 to Ferrari conversions that i hate. The fact that he but a 959 body kit on it is only cosmetic, most people would still see it as a 911, i for one would love to be able to spent 50grand on a car and me personally would whip of the kit
and it would still imo be a fantastic car as a 911turbo. I could be wrong

Exactly, so why feckin wreck it by trying (badly) to make it into something that its never going to be

He had it at the last BMW/Porsche track day in mondello, most people thought it was a 959, maybe it was something to do with the reg

well having been in and under a real 959, all I can say is that the kit can't be any worse looking than the real thing.....

The real one is a bitsa too..........although a v. expensive one, but a bitsa nonetheless..... a mish mash of panels and shapes that don't blend very well. Remember the 959 was built as a homologatian special so it was never supposed to be a style icon.........just a skin to cloth a hybrid 956/911 Group B rally car.....and most kits are based on moulding off a genuine one so it follows 'imperfect' follows 'imperfect'.....

I was very dissappointed with seeing a genuine one as you could tell it wasn't a coherent design...
