Shaun,
Your friend is dead wrong.
I spent 20 years driving an '85 US 928 with a five speed. The final drive we got in the US was simply too tall.
I also have seat time in a Euro 928S with about the same power and the shorter-geared 5 speed. Way more fun.
No question I'd run a lower final drive. You should, too.
st gear in a US 928 5-speed of that era feels like 1st in a similar vintage 930. Tall. tall. tall... lower the final drive and it will still be plenty tall; you won't be shifting too often.
