The 928 was my first vintage car four years ago, and of necessity my first experience with serious mechanical work. I lost my fear of old cars, and I've gone on buying spree since: '59 Bugeye Sprite, '95 Saab, '82 911, and a '78 Unimog. OK, I'm still frightened over that last one.

I’ve driven a few Z/28 Camaros. Nice cars, but different mission than a 928, and none of the refinement. Modern features aside, the Z is pretty crude and with those super fat front tires, a chore in daily use. The 7.0L was the last of an era, and even more fun when supercharged! Enjoy the new ride.
You gotta pay attention... the 305/30/19s up front Tramline like **** on crap roads.
It’s like driving a NASCAR on the street.
Loud, obnoxious, wide as a steamroller.. I love it!
Probably won’t supercharge it, but cam, heads, etc are planned..

How about just next car, cause I do not see me being without a 928 until it gets pried out of my dead, cold hands.
Looking at 2016 911 Turbo S's. and thinking about adding one to the stable:

No plans for anything anymore, I have three old vehicles inc 928, when the time come's I'll cash in and just use an old beater or the bus. Nothing car wise thrills or interests me any longer.

Some of my cars will come and go, but I don't foresee me being without the 79 SilverBulit. Even after I bought and sold the GTS, I knew the 79 would stay.
Congrats again on the GTS, looks like you and Jim had a fantastic Road Trip!!

All true and spot on. Pretty much all the reasons I pulled the trigger on it.

...whatever you do, steer clear of that guy in the video. He's built quite the internet legend.

Thx for the heads up!!
Yeah, he's built quite a "reputation"....
There's a place near me in Dallas Called 21st Century Muscle Car. They do the same type of work and have a great reputation!
