Amazing "uber 911"

 

I'll never forget when I saw one on the road...I thought it was a mirage or something...defintely one of the tope 10 car moments of my life.



(God that sounds sad)

 

thats Don Wallace's Collection.

 

I thought those looked familiar...my dad sent me those same pix when he was down there! nice none-the-less.

 

I was always in awe of the GT1. It was the 993 super car for me. Sadly, they never made a street version of the 1998 GT1 with the more curvacious body.

 

Back in 2001 I had a ride in a 911 GT1 driven by a racing driver (he wasn't the owner) around a track in Sweden. The car's performance was outstanding (it seemed like the acceleration would never fade as the car was still pulling hard at 150mph at the end of the straight) and almost every corner was taken sideways as the track was damp. In other words a lot of fun. Inside the car it was damn loud just at idle (I remember the radio being on in the pits but you could barely hear it at idle so it seemed like a pointless feature) and when the turbos kicked in at about 4000rpm it sounded like a jet engine.

I've had a ride in a Diablo VT -95 around the same track and it seemed sluggish (even though it was driven hard) and wobbly in the corners in comparison. Compared to the Carrera GT, in reference to earlier asked question in the thread, I would believe the GT1 to be the superior vehicle both performance (despite the CGT's power advantage) and handling wise.

The owner had (back in 2001 that is) besides his 911 GT1, a CLK GTR, Dauer 962 LM, Dauer EB110 SS, Mac F1, Mac F1 GTR (road legal, looked like an LM in its orange paint), XJ 220, Diablo GT, F40, F50 and 550 Barchetta. Pretty nice collection. The GT1, CLK-GTR and Dauer EB110 SS can be seen in the pictures below.

 

that thing is totally sex

 

Makes the Carrera GT look weak! This is my choice for supercar!

 

the GT1 is pure sickness.

 

My My My...... Since I've printed up a fresh batch of $1,000,000.00 bills, I think I can afford to buy me one (maybe two!)

 

I own that exact car...in 1:18th scale GORGEOUS!

 

Check out the Febuary 2007 issue of Excellence Magazine. They have a great right up of Porsche Super-cars. 959, GT1 Street, and Carrera GT.

 

That is the best issue of Excellence to date IMO.

 

That is sicker then a 959...

 

Check out the new Porsche Excellence magazine, they compare the GT1, 959 and CGT

BTW that car is NUTS
