May 1983 Motor Trend

Porsche 928......best top speed, best acceleration (0-100) and best brakes (100-0).....anything else to say???

added the link to RL for further distibrution

Yay....seems I own a winner! Cool

NICE! Amazing how much better (numerically anyway) the 928 is than ANY of the others in this road test! WOW! I wonder how a 5spd Vette would have fared? Better by a fair bit I suspect...but would it have been quicker than the 928???

page 44 - "In a way, the Porsche 928 is the shortest on sex appeal....." COUGH!, COUGH!, BULL S%$T!! COUGH!, COUGH!

928 = timeless shape.....

Haha!

GREAT post. I bet I read that article as a "gear-head" in Michigan when I was 17.

The speeds they quote are probably about right for an '83 4.7 5 speed. Prior to my 928, I drove a '92 VW Corrado SLC, and my best time at the drag strip in Bithlo, Florida, outside of Orlando was 14.97@93.25.

To put that in perspective, my '85 928S2 turned a 13.86@105.86 back in 2001 at Gainesville speedway, with nothing more than 928 International's Borla exhaust.

Old Corvettes don't die, they just get crushed. You can buy a running '83 928 these days for $4000, and a running '84 Corvette for the same money. The chevy might use less gas, but it WAY more difficult to climb into. I'd still buy the 928-

N!
