Even if you could bring the power up high enough to achieve such tremendous numbers the 5 speed is too slow and awkward to shift fast enough to obtain these numbers even with a short shifter.

Agree and disagree...
A GTS with out a power adder will not do an 11.9 sec 1/4 mile. I am pushing over 450RWHP with drag radials and a lot less weight and can only hit mid-low 11's. I've 150+ more HP at the wheels.
On the 5 speed though.. Maybe the GTS is different, but my Euro 5 speed is fast. And in the quarter there are only 2 shifts for most 928s. Depending on your trap speed you might just be tagging 4th gear.
I like that the 928 gets no respect outside of our little club. I always root for the under dag. It keeps parts cheap and allows me to own a couple cars that should be oput of my leage.
On Topic. The PCA events I have been to have been full of nice folks who were interested in the Shark. I saw more of a division between those who shine and those who race.
