Default Best 930 in the world

Ok I got in an arguement about who was better germany or the world. I am all about the german engineers. Somebody told me that a car could make more power and was overall better then any car in the world and of all time. I told him that the 959 was better, then he said no thats not fair what about another porsche. I said 930. What I need to know is, is there any 930 that is better then any car in the world overall?

There is no car that is "better than any car in the world overall". Best overall will be a generic car like a Toyota for gas mileage, room, reliability etc. Best high performance street legal car would most likely go to Mclaren F1, which is not German. As far as absolute horsepower is concerned, a 9000 hp American dragster is king.

Lorax, I used to be a professional car buyer running my own used car dealership. I have personally bought literally thousand+ cars within the last 15 years (whichever car I find interesting) and sold, scrapped, parted, or traded them for something else I find interesting. I have 30+ personal vehicles currently including over 15+ 944s (I lost count and would have to physically go out there to count them to find out how many I actually have as I acquire them like most people with cloths). This is why I no longer am partial to any particular manufacturer because I know from first hand experience many of the stupid things the engineers do ESPECIALLY the Germans.

Billthe3, don't forget we gave the world Bush.

We gave most the world their freedom from aforementioned Austrian. No need for thanks brits...there wouldn't be a Mclaren if we didn't step in. But I do like ze Germans...they gave us the 'Ring.

And then Pete told me if I didn’t have the stomach for it, I didn’t have to stay and watch. Like I’ve never seen anyone roughed up before. So I stayed. Go ahead, I said. Do what you have to do. And Pete proceeded to beat the tar out of none other than Big Mike, undisputed king of the used car underworld. Before dumping him in the alley, Pete wrapped an old muffler around Big Mike’s neck. Nice touch, I said. Now everyone will get the message. Pete grinned. You know what, kid? he said. I like you. Tell you what. Why don’t you stick around, shine my shoes for a few weeks. We’ll see what happens. I’m not shining anyone’s shoes, I said. But I will stick around. This was too much for old Pete. When he heard that, he laughed his head off, then draped his bloody arm over my shoulder. Okay, kid, he said. Have it your way.
