Hahaha cuz 0-60 times actually mean anything. I've never in all the years I've had mine ever tested its 0-60, I think that alone says all that anyone needs to know about the driving experience. Anyone who doesn't get that probably isn't much of an enthusiast.

Yes, but I was trying to figure out what US car he was thinking of.

Dillon,
To save any further embarrassment, you should consider selling it to me for a few $1000

Well my friend thought my 86 951 wasn't as fast as newer cars, after letting him drive mine he bought an 86 951 and fell in love with it necause he couldn't believe how fast it was. He had an accident 2 weeks ago with it and now wants to another one or fix this one. Made him really mad when we went to get lunch with my 87 951.....

Also, they didn't call it "That car we passed, back there".

yeah even though some cars can beat me to 60 mph, they are limited at like 120mph. That is my advantage and how I can win.

I always wanted a 951 in high school...kinda glad I wasn't able to afford it as it almost certainly would've gotten keyed or something in the parking lot.

I usually aspirate the chest cavity of anyone who even thinks about spitting in the general direction of my cars... Aspiration with 9mm sized holes prevents repeat behavior.. if lacking the proper tools, a baseball bat can also work wonders for attitude adjustments...

Don't feel so bad there actually was an Oldsmobile that has hints of the same styling cues. Probally stolen from the 944. It was the 2 door version of the toronado called the tropeo in the eairly 90s.




OK it's a strech but it should at least make you feel better- maybe not
Cheers, Mike

Red- +1 on the existance of even the 944 for me
