575 hp at 6000 rpm, and 501 lb-ft of torque at 4500 rpm. The stock 959 made 450 hp at 6500 rpm and 380 lb-ft at 5500 rpm. Full boost of 1.4 bar occurs at just 1500 rpm

It only looks like a 959 after he's done with it though.

I went to the Porsche museum a couple months ago in Stuttgart and saw 959 #1 and the prototype 959. Got some pics of the place if you're interested.

Gates should go for the McLarens, F50s , Diablos, Enzos and the HIGH END supercars!!!
If i was Gates I'd roll around Seattle picking up 18 year old hotties in my F50....providing I got a HAIRCUT first!!!!!
