I just like owning an incredible hand built super car from days gone by that is still a very incredible, fun, safe, comfortable, pretty reliable mode of transportation; and one that you just do not see everyday on the road.

If I sold every single thing I had in a fit of "sacrifice", and totally cleared out the garage, I could get a very solid down payment. Stroker crank, 89 heads, several body parts, smaller things, transmissions, suspension pieces, burgundy interior in very good shape ,

I could sell my coin collection. Joke. I don't have a coin collection.

and they are incredibly unique, gorgeous and timeless looking too!

Of course. When I say new, I really mean "Slightly used" There was one at carmax for 36, and it was a 2006 with about 10k miles.

Hey, I thought threads for "other cars" should be in the off topic forum.....so what if anyone drove a Corvette, it's not a 928??? I drove my 15 speed GT bicycle the other day...

Lighten up Francis. I mean, you're kidding right?

The guy owns a 928 (multiple 928's ?), so I think its appropriate to discuss the possible move to another sports car here in the 928 forum.

OK, How about them Red Sox?

Oh, by the way...got an old one of them Corvettes, piece of crap...

Now I don't know if I'd call'em Crap - just not a Shark. Granted a lot of things would of had to happen (Porsche dropping the 911 etc.) but I'm pretty sure if they still made the 928 today, it'd be a much more refined machine than the Vette (much more expensive too) akin to other Super GT's like we see coming out of the stables of Aston Martin & Ferrari and the like.

A C3? Are you serious? Thats not even part of this conversation.

On Topic? The 928 and Corvette share layout, weight distribution, are many times in the same racing class, and are two of the very few cars I would really want to buy short of being a Jay Leno type of warehouse collector.

Hey, at least I have a 928 on the road !!! .....

This thread is going to get interesting or closed pretty soon....

Wow, forrest, did you learn how to use the user specific post search function? Congratulations.
At least, when constructed, mine will not rev like a slow train to texas, wallow around like a Cadillac, and have Lucas-electronics like hysterics in the electrical system. And yours isn't on the road - its parked in the grass like a lawn ornament. Do you live in Maine or South Alabama?

I don't remember saying anything derogatory to you, and the joke is getting old.

Why don't you take your 16 posts (two or three of which have been unhelpful and non-constructive) and go somewhere there are car snobs instead of enthusiasts - try the 997 board. An enthusiast does not focus on the hood badge.

Good come back! Especially since I'm originally from NJ and am a Yankee fan (or was one when I used to pay attention way back in the Catfish Hunter/Thurman Munson era).

Go Rangers! (thread jack!)
