Theres alot of other nods too, like no rear seats and ally suspension arms.

0-60 6 secs
165 top end....

not too shy - they only weigh about 1700kgs so the same as a E46 M3.

Besides - I've got my old scooby back to go silly fast in 0-60 in 4 secs was before I added another 200 bhp to it *wink*

What sort of year/model was it?

Anything before D-reg is SLOW as they are only 2 valves/cyl... The last ones (5.4 32v) where up to 350bhp at the end of production.

There are cheap supercharger kits int he states too... 500bhp for about 3k YIKES!

928s are shit, sorry. If you want a front engined porker, get a 968. Otherwise a 993 followed by a 964 is my choice.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

968 are ok but only a 4 pot and not worth the money they command at the mo imo.

Wouldn't have a 911 - worked on too many lol

That is one Fugly car... I imagine it looked fantastic when Simon Le Bon was at the top of his game. Today, it needs a medallion and a chestwig to complete the image it creates.

Of course - that is my opinion - And I drive an F-150 daily so wouldn't take too much notice.

I´d love a 928. Proper car, not like the 911 rubbish. You should know that the 928 was supposed to take over for the 911 late 70ies, but the yanks just would stop buying the piece of shit :) We all know that Porsche have no spine. After all they made the Cayenne....
