Time to cast your vote. The GT is ahead, but let's show them how much better it is.

The same outfit that lists the 928 as one the selections to vote for absolutely trashes the car in its advertised value guide. As a sample for reading and understanding it's rating system, the guide used the 928 as an example, and had this to say:
"A strong word of caution here-don't confuse either the appreciation or the tier rating with the inherent abilities of the underlying car. For instance, the Porsche 928 is a car with no appreciation potential, and with no meaningful future as a collectible. We give it one star for appreciation potential (the worst), and rank it as an F-tier collectible (also the worst). Yet the 928 is also universally regarded as one of the great grand touring cars of all time, with prodigious performance. For a number of reasons, though, it will never get into the collectible car Hall of Fame."
I guess I knew the perception-at-large on our cars wasn't all that great, but this kind of writing sure fuels it. :-\
