getting pretty convincing..... I think Porsche are trying to move too far away from their old core values. Give me an older, more unrefined porsche, I want to be able to feel and hear that I am going fast

honestly, if i were ebing given one of the two for nada, i would take the carrera GT and then sell it.
dont hate me but ithink they're both ugly, the butt looks like its been stretched on the GT and like its sagging on the 959.
but from a performance standpoint, the carrera GT is nice-ish

I'm not a porshe guy...if someone handed me the keys to either of those cars and said take it and we'll take your stang I'd tell them to sod off.
I rank the style of the 959 somewhere around breaking your leg. The difference is you know your leg will eventually get better![Biggrinjester](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrinjester.gif)
