Looks like an ebay pic - shows just enough to make it look good.

Congrats on the car - my 89 5 speed is one of the fastest stock 928's I have driven.
Once I convert it to automatic it will be perfect 8>)

That's one of the reasons why we bought the one we did. After driving a number of cars, this one stood out as the fastest by far. Leakdown was over 95% on all cylinders.

Looking forward to it! Frenzy was a blast. Now we won't have to feel silly showing up in a Boxster:-)

And I will now refer to this: Dwayne's Garage: http://dwaynesgarage.norcal928.org/ as the Bible! Awesome write-ups!

Wow, went looking for an auto and 'settled' for a nice 5-speed with LSD.

That sure isn't the way the story usually goes.

Very nice car. Congrats!

Now get ready to spend some cash. Change this, redo that, upgrade here. Never ends. Have fun. I use mine for treks. So much nicer to drive than the 951, just not nearly as fast.

Oh Roger! ... you poor misguided man ... perfect for you obviously means slower
