nominated for worst 928 article
This has to be the worst collection of inaccurate info on the 928 in one place.

No wonder an author would put their name to it.

Like a fine wine from H311, I bet you’ll find new errors in that with every re-reading. The question is the measurement of ‘bug’ density i.e. errors per sentence. A density of 2 or higher would be epic.

And check out the citation: the Auto Editors of Consumer Guide"Porsche 928 History" 13 June 2007.
HowStuffWorks.com. <https://auto.howstuffworks.com/porsche-928-history.htm> 17 June 2019
So howstuffworks just reprinted an article from 2007, with obviously no attempt to fact-check. Desperation was the motivation, I believe.

I notice that there's no obvious way to provide feedback that their article is FOS.
