I'm a longtime 911 guy. Have two right now and will always have at least one. That being said, I just got my first 928 in September. To the haters - I get it - but don't knock it till you've tried it. The 928 is a staggering amount of car for the money.
My latest Porsche buying criteria were:
-300+ reliable HP
-modern comforts - cruise, ac, stereo, power windows at a minimum.
I looked at 996s I liked that were near 30k and built like a cheap Japanese car. Then I looked at 928s for 1/4 to 1/2 the price and they are built like bank vaults.
Picked up an 86 and am loving it. Easily and cheaply modded it to near 350 HP. It has climate control, ABS, and an 8 speaker stereo.
Sometimes I take corners and think "this thing just doesn't handle like my 911s" until I realize I'm going faster through said corner than I do in my 911s.
And despite the hype, I am finding the car to be a pleasure to work on with parts priced similarly to 911 parts.
In closing, I love my V8 Porsche Power
Sorry for the hijack!
