You're right. I have chipped the 928...and a rear muffler bypass and a few other things to make it breathe easier...giving it approximately 300hp from 288....but...I don't think I can get my stock 2002 TT 225hp up to 155mph. At a 120 in the TT, I start wondering if I'm safe or should get a pilot's license. At 145mph in the 928, it's like driving a vault down the Spokane Raceway and I can still hear the radio. Both are German engineering so I guess I'm OK. Both are great cars...but built for different uses. For me, the TT is a great and fun daily driver. 0-60...yes, it'll be a close fight....80mph on, I assure you it won't be....and a used 928 is just a $6,000 car!!!(but you do have to spend a few thousand shortly after purchase to make them run reliably...few exceptions). Don't buy a Porsche unless you're rich or you do your own wrenching. I do the latter. If you want real reliability and cheap running...then get a Camry...and at 110mph they're not bad either...it just takes you forever to get there and the style sucks.

Want a car that will make a Ferrari chase? Put a twin screw supercharger on one of the older 928 Porsches. With an auto and Posi...wheelspin at about any speed. Cheap and luxurious speed. But, admittedly, it does not have automatic climate control.

i would agree more with you if you were putting not the 928S BUT the 928S4

i am a BIG fan of the 928S4 i am hoping one day i get one as a project car.....i mean 321hp V8 and will get to about 175mph

PLUS it will scare the young rice-boy sheitless in their STI subrau or EVOs when you roll up in a 928S4 (a almost 20 yrs old porsche) and then run rite up to him all the way up to 140mph

and come to think of it...the 928s4 will probably walk away from those once it hit pass 100-110mph (with that kind of power)

but i dunno about the 928S.....i did prefer the S4 :-)

I've never owned a 928 but I've owned a 993 and 996. You can easily get a 95 993 with around 60K miles in the low $30s. The problem is that the car will have the maintenance expenses of an $80K car which it was when new. So unless you can do the maintenance yourself, the total expenses (maintenance and initial purchase price) will be quite substantial. If you keep the car for four years, it could be that the total costs of ownership could approach that of a new 997. All you need is one major problem during the four years and your inexpensive car gets real expensive in a hurry.

FOR ONCE! Porsche's have looked basically the same FOREVER! They need a new idea. I know it's still working for THEM but it isn't for ME! And since I don't know or care about them... I think they should change =)

because it works. To each his own tho. What about a nice older 356...hehehe....
