What are the most common questions asked by newbies when they first learn about this forum and join? (I think I asked every one of these as well, and am still a newbie )

In descending order:
1. Will these wheels fit?
2. How to diagnose/fix rough idle.
3. How can I get more power?
4. Who are the big 3? (followed by, why are there 4/5?)

Don't forget the horn pad on the S models

1001. Carfax do not have records for 1000. '86.0 end at VIN 0937 as that is last one to which Carfax has records.

What year did Porsche get cushy on the GT due low sales and added all sorts of heavy and other unneeded creature comforts?

Some will say 90 with the addition of airbags and all the other fluff but I say 91 since they added extra sound deadening etc...

What is likely the most desirable/rare 928 out there...

As much as I want to say 89GT...the honor goes to the 928 Club Sport (produced for 87, 88, and 89). Second honors goes to the 928 SE which is a cushy version of the CS.

Later,
