Yep, this is correct. It was quite a collection, and the individual has done some amazing events and books over the years. Very nice, very knowledgeable, but pretty private too. Thus, I won't name him —*though I suspect this car will be on display at an upcoming event and the cat will then be out of the bag.

Doubt JZ would buy one, or that any other self-respecting 914 guy would, for that matter...

I'm all in on the interior, and the concept of the exterior, but somehow this 911 just doesn't do it for me — and a friend is largely responsible for it. It just seems a little too contrived to me.

That said, I have yet to see one in person — and if it drives better than the GTS Cabrio/Speedster, which by all rights it should — it's got to be a great drive. Then again, for GT2 RS money, or GT3 RSR and Spyder money...

Had a moment this afternoon to stop by and snap a few photos with the p&s. The spec in person is nice...and fun to see they had the GTS parked right in front

Not sold in the US, and all were quickly sold out . . . but original price (exclusive of VAT) was 169,300 Euros.
