Get used to parking at the furthest end of the car park.

NICE car.

I've always loved the black on black. It's a beauty too. Take care of her and good luck!

It's an $1100 option that included the Euro S-type spoilers front and rear, sport seats, and the flat dish mags. I think there is some dispute as to whether LSD was part of the package. What else did I miss? Suspension?

As atb said, however in 82 Porsche dropped the sports seats from the package and they became a seperate option. Package price remained the same.
LSD was not part of the package - suspension (shocks) were.

Hey Wade,

Just wanted to let you know that you can't lay claim to the first 928 owner named Wade. Welcome to the club.

Thanks for the added info Rog. I really enjoy the Competition Group cars. I'd like to own one some day. Is there an option code for the package or did it just appear on the dealer invoice?

Awesome ride Wade, time to meet the rest of the PacNW clan. Before all our sharks get flooded out for the season.

Probably an option code somewhere. The PO told me about it has he had purchased it new.

I used to think that 1980 to 1982 cars with the front and rear spoilers had had them added at a later date - wrong.
So when you see a 80-82 car with the spoilers it may have the competition package.
I would like a set of the sport seats to complete the package.
Been looking but never seen any - and I mean the older version not the post 85 type.

Wade:

As a fellow 5-spd owner, I must direct you to the page in the Owner's Manual that states that you should not downshift from 5th to 4th at speeds greater than 129 mph. Love that one. Welcome to a great network of people.
