Thought I would share this, the presenter is a bit of a tool (most decent presenters don't shorten the name to "Porsh") but the owner really knows his stuff. I never realised that some 959s were uprated like this, to make them faster than its main rival, the F40.

My local Porsche dealer actually had a 959 for sale a couple of years back for GBP185,000.00, which seems incredibly cheap for such a rare and awesome car, but apparently they are very expensive to run.

Anyway here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzc0kam6xaI
 
No, just no. A car like that should be kept stock.
 
I think it was a factory upgrade by Porsche themselves for some models, not aftermarket, panic not :)

Haha you gotta actually watch the video first.

Man that interviewer should've done more homework. However the owner definitely knew his stuff - never knew about the tire pressure and such. Very interesting.👍
