You still get a ride and drive if I get her. The 1984 928 S is in the garage right now. She sure looks pretty sitting there.
You'll definitely beat my car from a roll (if it's still stock ), but remember it's 'rated' at 230hp, but from dyno results it's actually making closer to 255-260hp at the crank.

I wouldn't have been able to go 13.7@98 if it made a true 230hp at the crank.
