Default sightings/questions: Z1 & 993 Turbo S slant nose

ah, the beauty of south florida.....
recently have had repeated sightings of a BMW Z1 parked here in miami beach. i thought these were only for import for 'show and display' use only....this is a red one with a euro tag on it and a FL one next to it. interesting....

also saw a red 993 slant nose Turbo S - on a flatbed headed north on 95 monday morning. great looking car - pretty rare as well, right?

Never heard of a 993 based slantnose. Perhaps a custom job or a 964 Turbo S slant nose (flachbau) ... now that is a rare car indeed.

964 Turbo S Flachbaus...

ya know what - i stand corrected. after looking at the link, there's no doubt that was it was. the 964 turbo s. it DID say turbo S on the tail (yeah - i know - anyone can put anything on the tail...) but the 968-ish headlights is what caught my eye. still could have been a custom job, but i'd guess that down here, its real. great looking car.

They should put the Carrera GT light assembly on the flatnose of the 94 TT S flatnose. It would then be worthy of a 998 designation.
