Is it just me or should've the 959 only come in silver? It looks so much better on that car than any other color?

You're crazy The 959 is amazing looking and it is what every 911 since has based its looks on.

I have seen a red one at Mid America Motorworks in Il and Ralph Laurens at the Boston museum a few years back. They are indeed a religious experience.

I hope its the grey poster with the silver 959 and i think it has like a red streak on the ground below the car??? If so I've got the same poster and have had it proudly on display since I was in elementary school

Another picture I took of the 959 just the other day, and the GT2 because I love that car.

It was 1986 and I was 12 years old at Holbert Porsche with a garage full of the first 959's to US shores.
