I cant decide on what my next P-car will be, a 911 or a 951. I will have both some day but I need more garage first.
As for the 928...always wanted one since the movie Risky Bussiness came out. The maintenance on these seem to be on par with the 944's from what I've read. They are heavier than the 944 and dont have a lot of power until you get to the S4 or GTS. Plus alot of them are automatics, It is hard to find a good 5-speed one. I do really like the interiors in them. But it is a Porsche and as with every Porsche I have driven I bet it is alot of fun to drive. How about a twin turbo 928, I like to drive that  |
Reeves Callaway made I think four of those back in the 1980s. It was essentially the same setup as the Callaway Turbo 944 with an IHI-6B turbocharger & "fifth injector" setup for extra fuel metering & Saab microfueler controller - just two of them (one for each bank) on the 928s. They are very uncommon.
I've owned one of the Callaway 944 conversions in my days; I'd love to experience one of his 928s sometime in my life. Or I suppose someone with a lot more free time and money than me could adapt a modern twin-turbo setup to a 928 engine with modern standalone, programmable EMS on it. Mother, that'd be something. . .
There are a few supercharged sharks running around - some of them have frightfully large HP/TQ numbers.
