For someone who likes the stripes, this might actually be a neat car - providing the reserve is reasonable. I just wonder what he means by updated engine - fixed after timing belt failure???

What do you guys think about those fins between front wheels and door?

It has the Mercedes air tubes, and a fuel pressure gauge, of course! That will easily net 380HP (at 7000 feet altitude).

The painted(?) gills are funny.

"The title calls this an "S4/GT" but it's really the last year the S4 was made and the first year the GT was made (manual transmission on the GTs)"... But, uh... "This is an automatic, by the way"...

Look at the liscence plate... it looks like a US Navy owner... so the add ons (gills) are probably
personality driven, and we do call them sharks...

i like the gills...
i dislike the stripes...
If you travel from CO to CA, how much time you save as a result of the HP gain?
Where do you download the engine updates? from shark928.com/update?
What about bugs? are they fixed? Will the updates give you a BSOD?
If i have Engine'88 can i update to Engine XP?
Will my license expire if i let others see my update?
?

The car would end up looking like a float that took the wrong turn and missed the OCEAN PARADE!!

Talking

I'm voting for the gills as the source of the HP. AND it is a SEAN car, got to hype SEAN in the ad, so that should tell you something. My question: extra HP and slower in the 1/4 mile. Sounds like operator error, the doritos effect or a cheap stop watch.

"Also, some of the cool factory customs were added, like the ABS, door strips, PSD, etc. "

So, the guy added ABS and PSD. Wow. I thought those were standard as of MY 90.

Just exactly how would you add PSD to a 928???

Time to rummage in the closet for my waders and nose plugs.
