I don't see anything in the poll that rings true, so I guess I'd say "nothing". But if I had to do it all over again, I'd never buy one off of eBay sight unseen. I did, and consider myself very lucky that it worked out. I'd never do it again.

 

I bought two off Ebay that way. The first one (80), well, I ended up buying another one so you can guess how that turned out.

 

Another GT owner would have to agree. Not enough difference w/a 5 speed GTS to justify the price & have GTS envy, IMO.

 

I thought it was in good condition when I bought it...

 

Need option for "Other"

 

I would buy the same car again. GT, standard LSD and 2.7x gears, sport seats, an '89 without airbags or PSD systems to deal with.........exactly what I wanted!

There was no option for a supercharged GT in the poll After owning my '86 (which was a 5-speed w/ LSD) for 8 years, the only thing I would do different is buy a 928 with a supercharger/turbo already installed, since I was planning on installing one myself. And then, voila, the opportunity presented itself and the rest is history.

And I never really understood the attraction to the GTS. Yes, it has nice flared rear quarters, but lots of them burn a quart of oil in 1k miles. A QUART!? And the owner's manual says it's normal. And they have an extremely high compression ratio which pretty much means you're stuck with 345hp unless you want to do some $$$ engine work. With so many forced induction options around, the slight increase in power the GTS brings is peanuts. That, and then there's at least a $10k premium over a GT.

Agreed 100%, I would love a GTS, but the differences can all be made to the GT in short order with some cash. Rear bumper, fender flares, wing and mirrors.

Actually a GT to a 5 speed GTS is more like a $20K premium if not more, I figure as i said above I could spend another $4K and get the GTS exterior and be totally happy. Of course it would still be boring black but whatever.

Nice point about the compression ratio and boosting.

Another thing to add to 90 and earlier cars that made a real nice difference is the 91 or GTS shift ****! WOW this thing is bitchin! I love the way it feels! The one i have is classic grey but since i have the materials to dye it now I will recolor it black. But the feel of the **** is a big improvement! I suggest it to all that have a 90 and newer 5 speed!

 

If the price was right, "PO delete". G

 

The rare & highly desirable "PO Delete Option"
Some would pay dearly for that.

 

I voted based on buying my first 928: I'd pay more for a better condition car upfront.

And that's exactly what I did for my second 928! So now it's more like "I wouldn't change a thing." Of course it's had its problems too, but is a very nice car that is soooo good to drive. I learned from my mistake.

 

Since I have only had mine for a short while, I feel very lucky with my find. It has the sports seats, LSD and no air bags! I like the option "nothing". The cars at the painters now!

 

Show us some pics next year when it is done.

 

I have had lots of 'issues' with my car, but through it all, I don't think the amount of time, money and effort I've put into it has equalled what it's worth to me right now.

I wanted a car I could drive every day while improving it and I got that.

Maybe I'd get one with a little better interior, but I've enjoyed doing the work on that and it's the main reason I got such a great deal on a good strong running '85.

Still wouldn't change a thing!

 

I'd look for one with no sunroof. After reading on here so much, and the Porsche club magazines, I'd really like to try autocross, maybe over the road racing and such. But I'll never be able to fit in with a helmet on; I tried, with my motorcycle helmet, and I'm wedged into the roof with my neck all scrunched up uncomfortable. Oh well.
