You should be a little more careful about tossing the around the insults, seeing as you're proving to be the ignorant one here. The Flachblaus are super rare (good job reading the webpage), but they were not the only 911 to have 3.6 Turbo on the rump.
The most likely car that the OP ran into was a '93 or '94 3.6 Turbo. As the badge implies, it's an aircooled turbocharged 3.6L. The 3.6 Turbo badge was used to distinguish it from the 3.3L turbo engine used in that chassis since its intro in '91 (and in the previous "930" chassis since '78). While they're rare, production numbered in the thousands, so you'll run into them from time to time. Performance was pretty decent given the era and the 360hp it laid down. 0-60 in 4.5s and the 1/4 in low 13s/high 12s.
...and that's my Porsche lesson for the day.

. Whenever one of you guys puts the smack down on one of my Stuttgart sweeties, I'll be more than happy to answer any questions. BTW, if you've seen "Bad Boys" the car that Will Smith drove was a 3.6 Turbo (aka Turbo II).
