This is one of my favorite cars. This reminds me of Biff in the movie Back to the Future. I think that movie helped Porsche establish this car's credibility and personality. Anyway, this vintage car is one of the finest cars Porsche has ever made, and it's definitely worth of being called one of the best cars out there.
