I actually saw a convoy of 2 959s bombing down the 101 a year or so ago. After mentally skeeting a few times I got one of the guys' attention and asked him where he was headed, turns out the guy was Paul Allen. Pretty cool.
haha, gotta love a car that's so rare that two of them make a convoy.

I think I've seen one, in canada.
Yeah I just about crapped my pants and went straight into replica-detect mode, but they were legit. For all I know bill gates was driving the other one.
917-30: 1200hp TT V12 (or was it flat-12?), 17" rear wheels, and I don't mean diameter.
Jesus that's fast... I think about 250mph down the main straight.
That's way later - more like a 956 from the '80s. there is a video called In-car 956 that has laps of La Sarthe, Nurburgring Nordschleife, Kyalami and more on it.
956s and 962s hit+400km/h down hte Mulsanne, too.

So such pieces of art here. My all time favorite model (shape) is the 993 type, Turbo S or GT2, speaking of "regular" Porsches. But the truly piece of engeneering is the 959.
Well, Porsche is the best sport car for me anyways.
EDIT: I forgot to ask, the slantnose model, was factory option or it was a designer that sold kits to convert them? If it was factory, what other mods did they recieve and what was the idea behind the slant nose, basically aerodynamics only I guess. Besides is or was expensier I think.

The slant nose was indeed a factory option. But there are companies that now sell fibreglass retrofit kits. I believe the original factory conversions are aluminium though.
The 997.2 Turbo uses the A91 wet sumper POS motor for cost savings.
All Turbo's prior, including the 996 GT2 and 996 Turbo that I have had, were based on the M64 block that Porsche still races today, which is still in service in the 997.2 GT3.
The Turbo now joins the non GT cars in the wet sumper hell good for tippy magic tronic one hand posing down the boulevard.
