Default "New" 928 a boon to racers?

If the new 2 door GT coupe gets built under the 928 badge, will current shark racers finally getting the same "contemporary" parts bin as the 911 crowd?

Just curious.

Guess that would be a good reason why the car won't be badged as a 928.

I suspect there will not be a part shared between our 928s and whatever they make in the future, so it won't really matter.

I thought it was the age that was the issue in which classes the 928 could compete, not that there wasn't a contemporary version in production?

Age is an issue for WSC, but I've seen 911 club racers for sale that look like someone just welded a '73 VIN onto a 993.

Regarding WSC, I think a stripped out Porsche 2 door GT with either the rumored TT V8 or N/A V10 would be pretty serious competition on the track.

I don't see Porsche going anywhere near a track version of the new 928. For the same reasons they did not produce a race version of the original or even the Caymen.

I Porsche were the Brady Bunch - the 911 would be Marsha.

The Bradys used to race Marsha? No wonder she looked worn down.

What series did she race?

Yes, but if the Brady Bunch were Porsches, would Marsha be stock and original, or modified and restored?
