One of my staff has one (928) and it is a nice car and will hang with a stock R33 GTSt.

There is also something like a 964 that I was blasting by at the last track day...all race prepped for targa/tarmac rally but i was a second a lap quicker on street rubber and 195kmh speed limited. Be nice with turbos though.

Yep, a beautiful sounding V8 it is too, as StraightSix has said...

The 928 was actually originally created to replace the 911 back in the late 70's or early 80's, but of course the Porsche purists wouldn't have that, because:

a) it was front-engined,

B) it was a V8, and

c) it was water-cooled.

These three factors were pretty much totally against what Porsche had stood for over most of its history until then. And as good as the 928 was (there was even talk for a while of making a four-door version of the 928), people just kept demanding (and buying) the 911's, and the rest is history.

Porsche still do make a V8 (as used in the Cayenne 4WD) , but I doubt it's related to the old V8 as used way back in the 928.

My first car was going to be a 928 when I got my license "~oooh I feel old now" 12years ago. Decided against it a bought a property instead. But I remembered something about the manuals being cops, and stick with the auto's??... Anyhow I think there a nice car, but the 928S4 GTS is heaven with a porsche badge.

    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event. 
    • Hi Cody, If you are looking for a simple "bolt in bolt out" solution, I may be able to help via trade. I'm swapping my auto RS4V from stock subframe to a reinforced S14 Rear subframe specifically for track duty. I was looking into different rear core options while the car was in air and I found your thread.   My VLSD rear is freshly changed fluid/inspected. I will say even with Redline diff fluid it is still not as aggressive as I would like with the "sports" viscous core, and coming from a heavily modded evo with full drivetrain I'm looking for a bit more rotation with the throttle.  I second this, the polyurethane bushings are pretty aggressive as is.  If you're interested in the trade, I am driving out to Chicago in September for a time attack event. I could swing by and make the trade somewhere Sept 12-13th or 15-16th if you are interested and you have not already solved this issue yourself. 
    • No, the panel filter is the standard dry one. Yes, I did clean the AFM with electrical contact cleaner.
