I think the money aspect rules out most people who post here

And the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the pond that is.

I think it's pretty cool, I watch 5th Gear all the time, love their stuff! You probably saw it, but they did a show about Tiff's cars through the years, and mentioned stuff about his 944 racing days, etc. The street car he sat in on the show was pretty nice...wonder if it's a rennlister (who doesn't, right?)... I could see a smaller automotive museum picking that up, would make for interesting content if you ask me. Like the Porsche museum in Stutgart maybe. I went there 2 yrs ago, this would fit in pretty well.

edit: gotta love the colors

So the car is about $32,000 usd. How much would it cost to build a stock 944 turbo up to the specs of that car? Maybe $10,000? then you have the fact that this car won half the races it competed in. That may or may not make it worth another $10,000.

I know the colours are super queer though. As much as I like Tiff, I would'nt pay that much for that car. There are other turbo cup cars that I would pay more for, though.

Yes, I saw this car posted on the Great Britan Porsche Forums, pretty neat! I think that If I were going to spend that much money on a 951, I would want to find a cup car instead. Did anyone notice it is missing the passenger side mirror. Is it just me, I have driven cars with out them, but I would want it for the race track. Unless you have a great rear view mirror setup, which this car may have, but I cannot tell. Curious...

A Boxster or 964 will cost twice as much to be comparable when it comes to lap times.

Come on guys, that is NOT a turbo Cup car, it is a 951S with racing history. Most likely a Silberrosa that had a colour change to white. White cars are better when you want the sponsor stickers to be visible.
