Buncha years ago company had a picnic where they closed of a street and had all kinds of carnival stuff, and a bunch a BBQ. As part if it they had an employee car show. I took the 928. It was the only non-american car. They had Mustangs, Street Rods, Hot Rods Novas, Corvettes, A new Ford GT, Brother's 57 T-Bird, A couple of Shelby's, Camaros, Firebirds, Chargers, Cudas, a couple of nice Classics, and some tricked out Pickups.

At one point during the day a guy reved his Harley making a bunch of noise, then my Nephew and his 6 cylinder bike, then the car guys got into it with guys starting up the cars, revving them, and people applauding. I had just put the Rear Muffler Bypass on the 928 so had to go rev it as well. I started er up and started reving. The crowd didn't just applaud they cheered and every body else stopped reving their cars. It sounded really good, almost musical.

Lots of employees came over and asked me about the car. All the kids loved me popping the headlights up and down. Even some of the car guys were impressed by the factory force air cold air induction and the two stage intake plenum. A couple of days after the prizes were handed out I discovered my car had won the people's choice voting, but since it was not American Made a they ignored mine and gave it to the 2nd place new Ford GT. Every summer since they've had the same company event. I haven't bothered to enter the 928 since it's not American Made.
