I'm far from expert, or possibly even 'minimal knowledge' about some of those models. But, since this is a 928 Forum, I'll comment about a conversation I had over lunch about 30 years ago at the Porsche Weissach restaurant with Hans Mezger and an associate. I'd never owned a Porsche, and don't buy new 'toy cars', so as conversation, I asked them "If I were to buy a used Porsche, what model should I buy". After a short conversation between them 'auf Deutsche', Hans summarized it in English.
Their TWO choices were: for relatively short drives on twisty roads, a 911 SC like Hans drove OR for longer/high speed trips a 928 like Gerhard drove. Gerhard then said, "I have a ski chalet in Switzerland that is 250 miles away. I drive there in my 928, arrive in less than 2 hours and am relaxed and ski the rest of the day. If Hans tries to follow me in his 911, he will arrive exhausted and have to rest several hours". Hans replied 'Ja Wohl'.
As a result of this conversation, I've only owned S4's and GTS's Not qualified to pick a 3rd.

928 GTS
993 C2
Sell all others, but buy a 996 TT X50 (or S) optioned (mezger motor) as your third choice.
I swear: if I had to sell all of my cars except one….., I would sell everything and keep my 2002 996 TT X50.
absolutely, the most RAW and reliable Porsche I have ever owned in my entire life.

The first 2 would be the 928's - the GTS and the 78/79. I'd probably go real old school after that with the 911 SC, but honestly, the best 911 made is not on the list - the 997.

Simple.
993 C2S in Speed Yellow. Or....a 993 Twin Turbo (Not an X50) in Speed Yellow.
'78/'79 928 in Continental Orange. Restorod with a 5.8 liter 2 valve engine. With our new suspension and better brakes.
'89 928 GT in almost any color, except black. (Also a restorod with a 5.8 liter 4 valve engine, with our new suspension, modern ABS and better brakes.)

78 928
911SC
there's something about a good SC that I prefer over a good 3.2 carrera...but I can't put my finger on it. The SC feels more "70s" .... thats as close as I can get to describing it. I just feels like the "right" displacement for that engine design too.

Nice choices!
This is easy - in order:
993 C2S
928 GTS
993 C2
Who wants to buy my 96 993 C2 6-speed Black/Red so that I can buy a Lexus LC500 Coupe?
