The Porsche is the best sports car in the world. The Porsche 959 and 911 Turbo, shown above, are two of the fastest production cars in the world, going from 0 to 60 in 4.4 and 3.7 seconds, respectively. The 959 does not meet the US street legal specification, and Porsche refuses to modify their pride and joy. As a result, there aren't too many 959s around. Word is that Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld both own one though. Would either of you gentleman care to give me a ride? The GT1 is the new challenger to the McLaren F1 in the GT races, and so only 50 will be sold!!
