Default 2.7 liter six banger, all wheel drive, 6 speed

The Porsche 959. Anybody got pictures of that beauty? Driven in one? I had a dream that I got one. Don't know where that came from of all the cars that to dream about!

Oh, maybe its the drive train of the B5S4 that made me dream!

I'll take mine in white. What a work of art. I think it looks better than anything Porsche has done since.

Default yes very nice car indeed. I remember hanging posters of that car when I was a boy

They were very limited only 268 iirc. 444hp and did the 1/4 in 11.8 at 119mph top speed of around 200mph. Not bad for 1986 ehh?
Its definetly a work of art but my favorite p-car will always be the 993 turbo.

Default

bone stock. That car was perfect. If I had the money I would get an older 993 and mod it.

Default if you really think about it.. the 959 was such a dream car back in the day

Now stage 3 S4's have awd and similar hp, etc. 450hp sounded crazy back in the 80's.

Default I touched one, sat in one once. Was on its way to be Michael Jordan's car. I got yelled at....

by one of the service guys for opening it up and touching it. He said "we don't TOUCH a million dollar car." I looked over at the service guy I knew, shrugged, kept oogling. I had been there about 100 times, they serviced my Alfa, I wasn't just some random shmo who wandered back into the service area that says 'keep out.' Such a gorgeous car. It was perfect. I think prior to MJ it was owned by the CEO of Oakley.
