Hi Matt, legion - I'll be the contrarian here. Personally after having owned a 944 and a 951 I STILL have a Jones for a 928 but honestly, I would want the S4 or GT. I'd love to have a 5 speed GTS but that is never happening. These are COMPLETELY different cars than our 944's or 911's so if you go into one of them looking for a similar experience I think you will be disappointed.

In my case, I am old enough to remember 1977 928's and the buzz surrounding them. If you could find a truly well maintained later one with records (needle/haystack) they are a LOT of car for the money you have to give.

Having said that, I never truly got all the enjoyment out of my 951. Matt knows, I was at a crossroads with my '51 and my 911. I had to choosewhich one to devote my time and money too and went for the life long car of my dreams, the 911. But I think a well setup, well maintained one could be awesome....I just am not long-term comfortable with a forced induction car. Maybe I'm just a worrywart.
