This is the Napa filter for a Corvette.The only one for a 928 is the gold. There is a difference.

I am not trying to make any point at all. Just an example. Corvette, small block chevy, whatever. The Napa Gold is made better than other filters. Thats all.

That is a big brush you have, to say all of them are made by WIX.

I do not belive that is correct, but I could be wrong.

I could have sworn I have seen a Mahle or a Mann Stamp on some of there European filters.

Oh I see. BTW, after re-reading my post it sounded a little harsh. That wasn't my intention. I was just confused as to why you posted that info.
