That air duct in the front hood looks pretty cool too.

That is not always the case. I bought my GTS from Willhoit and I turn my own wrenches. I also know a good deal when I see it and my car was a bargain considering it's condition and price. I have also worked on numerous exotic cars along with my other cars. I prefer working on Porsche's. Although they can be a bit of a pain sometimes, they don't have half the issues you might face when working on a Ferrari.

Regarding 308's, 328's, Mondials and other older Ferrari's i would not use them as a benchmark to compare my car too. My stock '79 SC used to blow away 308's and it was not a fast car.

360's are pretty quick and I doubt most 928's would hold their own against one when really pushed. Maybe it can keep up in a straight line in some gears but the 360 would triumph. The Ferrari's are nice but as the 928 is not for everyone, the Ferrari's are the same. I also find the GTS to be more spacious and comfortable than the 550 or the AM DB9's I sat in. For such big cars I felt like I was in a 944 more than a 928 size wise.

Anthony,
Bring your GTS up to NE this summer and drag sniper up here too so we can compare our sharks.

Is there a gathering hapening I am not aware of? I was under the impression Sniper's car has been modified a tad. Maybe you guys should come down here and we can compare it to my turbo also.

Well if I ever SC my shark, which i dream about at times, then I'd think about your turbo. I have been comparing my euro to other NA cars all of which are pricier than mine, including the M5 which i thought had a good reputation.

But i would enjoy a shot at a well maintained GTS and the magical sniper mobile. For bragging rights and laughs, we should set up a meet somewhere for some runs of 0 - 80 or so.

Any other MY 928's would be welcome and maybe we could get a super shark or two.
