If I had the money I'd pick you up in the 928 Saturday morning. AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Alan, you coming? There is a 928 ride in it for you! Hell, you can drive it.

I'll let you run the 951 down the 1/4, you have alot more experience doing it. I hope I can work out the logistics of getting her.

They aren't very robust for the abuse of 5000 rpm drops, but where the car shines is on a nice 2 lane twisty. The 951 isn't the highway cruiser the 928 is, simply for the stout 32 valve V-8, but I've heard they do gobble the miles quite pleasently.

Edit: I looked at the engine bay shot again and yes, I guess that slit is designed to feed cold air to the cone filter. He's seems to have two other horizontal ones which I imagine feed cold air to the radiator and/or intercooler. Guess these are the "Vented stock nose panel" mod he was talking about. Very snazzy!

The two horizontal slits go to the FMIC, the vertical goes right across the MAF. I looked up the weight on another site. Porsche lists the weight as 2975lbs, wet; fuel and spare. With my 210 pounds on board (I'm 6' 1 1/2) she is close to the 3200 in fighting trim.

So from a dead stop, you'd take me. If we did a rolling start at 20mph, I'd do alot better.

I understand the dead stop. You have AWD and can luanch it harder. But side by side at 20mph, I'm lighter, more power, and less power loss due to the drive line drag you have with the AWD. Yes your car is 230hp stock at the crank vs this one was 217, but it's 18 years older and pushing 300 now. I would think this would be the one place I could give you a true run for the money. 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.
