I would think it takes more power to spin the wider wheels than what is made up for in reduced drag, but what do I know. Driver weight is probaly a factor, too, at least it would be in this household.

His/her 928's is a goal of mine.
I was thinking of using Southwest Airlines as a model in my argument for twin 928's. It will go something along the lines of:
"You know, honey, those guys at Southwest Airlines run a good company, one of the most efficient in the airline business. And one of fundamentals of their business model is the use of a single airplane type throughout their system. This commonality REDUCES training and maintenance costs vs. a multi-airplane type fleet. So, too, could such savings be experienced in our own household with the adoption of the 928 as our personal transportation platform."
Think it'll fly? (pun intended)

Similar thing here, two red OB's side by side, hers is 32V.
But yours and Randys each faster than both of ours.

Well you all missed the real answer.
HIS is a lowly 5 speed
HERS is an awesome automatic - SC what does SC have to do with it.
"Besides, on the far side of 50 corny becomes a regular past time!"
Cheryl you are so right BTW when are you going to dump the boring old fart and come on home to PaPa 8>) My GTS would look even better next to yours. And we would both have automatics.

928 Owners are ".....a secret sect of quietly assured Porsche pragmatists who in near anonymity appreciate the prodigious, easy going prowess of the 928."
