86.5
Ok I think I found another 928, its a good mileage 5spd car, it's a 86 but a later one vin # over 1000 so it should have good brakes, suspension? How are the 5 speeds in them are they the same as the s4? This car seems nice and its about 3hrs away and its ready to drive minus tires which I plan on putting 18'' wheels on any way. Thanks again Telly

Telly, yes, it has the later 4-piston Brembo calipers front and rear, revised suspension, and other minor S4 details. The 5-speed is essentially the same box as the S4 box. A 5-spd '86.5 is a great car to get your hands on!

You post very little info on this car, perhaps you are playing it close to vest to protect your find. No problem. I wouldn't drive 3-hours one-way based on this, but others have. YMMV. 86.5 has S-4 suspension and brakes. HP listed at 288 is conservative on Porsche's part and with Porken's help, see his site, the '85-86 responds well. If the rubber bits haven't been replaced, it has a lot of deferred maint.

the owner says it had water pump, timing belts and all new wheel bearings a very short time ago. It also has a clean carfax says it needs tires and a/c blow cool. I rather have an s4 but for the price of this car I don't think I can pass it by. And yes very little details on the car do to it's price I'll let you know if I buy it tho!

From another thread, looking for one to butcher into another trans-am with a GM powerplant:
"I've found a low mile 86.5 for 6500 but I want to hold out for a new body, I'm sure I can find one a little messed up less the 5k. "
