The Porsche 928 was a fine car in its day. Twenty odd years ago my nephew had one, I think he said it was an 1985 model. He let me try it. I thought it had a powerful V8 and stable high speed handling. The interior was a bit spartan for the class/price, but it was an overall fine performance car. With the current horsepower war,many new cars are much faster, but that's progress. In 1992 this car was very fast.

I have this car, I love this car!
If you love cars, you must appreciate all of them, regardless if old/new all of them have something special.
my 91' mustang GT, 92'928 GTS, 99' jaguar xjr are all amazing in their own way.
Love cars
Peace

Actually you do have to love older cars as they are the real cars. I didn't say I knew you, I just guessed your age by your comments, and was pretty close.

BumRush 16y ago
So just because i compliment on newer cars means i dont like older ones? do you know me? no, you dont no shit about me, so dont pretend you do, ill have a love of cars more than you can understand, just how ignorant can you be? really? you do not, need to like older cars to have a love of things automobile, you have no idea.

Yaspaa 16y ago
Dude the only cars you like are new ones, how are we supposed to take your opinions seriously when you're stuck in your own time bubble? You refuse to even try to understand what makes an older car great. That's not a lover of cars.


Yaspaa 16y ago
Haha, anyone who doesn't get what's so special about a ferrari 250 GTO is obviously 19. :D

Yaspaa 16y ago
If you were old enough to appreciate cars when this came out, you would have loved it, one of the prettiest Porsches ever made. If however you are a youth of modern times, you would hate this car simple, Which one are you?









928GTS 17y ago
928 is the best and most cool car they've ever build! Since I was 16 I dreamed of it and in 1995 I bought a Model 92. I still drive it, when the wether is fine, enyoing the cruising qualities 5.4 V8 engine with 500 torque, but the dynamic range ofup to 6600rpm when I need them. I sure will keep him, cause I think it'll be sooner or later a real classic car. Definetely it is a cougar ( ;-) ) and a lot of my 911 driving friends ask me to take them for a ride...

Hm alot of talking here. Strange that this model always gets refferd to as slow. What people is forgetting here is that this car has 50/50 weightdisp, rearwheel steering and more low rpm tourqe than any other porsche today.
The porsche numbers are numbers that all cars should perform under bad condition (fully loaded, hot weather etc)
When a reporter tested a 928 S4 automatic in 1987 he let go of the throttle at 275km/h and porsche says that it goes in 265km/h and he clocked it to 5,7s 0-100 when porsche said 6,1s
And with its handling its really fast on the tracks.

Georg 19y ago
The new numbers are from a sportauto compare from 1993 found it on a M3 forum... I guess the 1/4mile time is rubbish.. low 13s time should be easy for the 928GTS..
