Porsche should have tracked down and repurchased every single one The fact it is being road tested against a VEGA really says it all Where was C Shellby although there where attempts to place a SBC in the Vega I am afraid the 924 fell into the why bother catigory My wife was sucked into buying a brand new 924 in 1978 I secretly bought a corvette tossed in a 375hp crate motor Alas you take a bore to water........Too BOY RACER I never tired of reminding her either a vega or pinto would have done the job For reasons that are unclear Porsche has never admitted what brand damage this did and continues as long as a single example exists
