Looks like a 928 smashed into a opel on the autobahn.

see the details

I'm not sure which one came out for the better, the 928 or the Opel.

Oh they do all sorts of rebuilds using 924/944 as basis. I have an article on a 944 rebuild to look like a Ferrari 365GT (it doesn't look like it at all, but they think it does). This one seems to be a combination of an Opel GT, a Corvette, a 924 Turbo and some fantasy stuff...? Not my cup of tea.

I like it better than the stock 928 (which reminds me of a smashed Pacer).
That one looks a little like a 250 GTO.

The German website also says it's a limousine...they ain't no better that eBay, I guess...

Easy on the 928 bashing!
I had a 928 before I had a 911SC. while the lines on the 928 may take some tome to get used to, the 928 is quite a machine!

928's are sweet (a close 2nd to 911's)

who is bashing? I just stated the mod looks like a Opel and 928 smashed together...sammy just thinks a 928 looks like a smashed pacer (ok, maybe a little bashing)...and Doug seems like he could care less either way.

I must say that other than a 911, my choice would in fact be a 928! They are very nice cars...but not when they look like the one above.

Jenson Interceptor...kinda looks like a 928, just older.

College Station....had a monster burrito at Freebirds (i think that's the name of the place)..right accross the street from A&M. Good food.

LOL I wasn't trying to dis the 928, although it's styling is an aquired taste. Actually if they had a better reliability record and weren't so darned expensive to repair and maintain I would have one in my garage. IMO it is more of a GT than a sports car but they are a really nice GT. A friend of mine bought one and loved the car until he had to replace the clutch in it :-)
There have been many, many times when I saw a nice looking 928 advertised locally for under $4k that I was tempted...........

Freebirds on Northgate!!! Good stuff.

I used to eat there on a weekly basis when I lived on campus. I haven't been in a while, it'll add some meat to your bones in a hurry.

2 lb monster burrito...everything but the kitchen sink..ha ha!
When I was racing I did a couple races in the college station area and that's where the A&M team took us. I thought the motorcycle coming out of the wall was the coolest thing!
