I can't decide whether I love it or hate it. Looks well done.

Okay, how crossed the modern Mustang with an Izzuzu Impulse?

LOL. It looks nice, but not my style. The interior scares me too.

I usually only lean towards OEM, but I must say, I like it. 80's tacky, but done as tastefully as possible. Even the interior. Just enough flare. I also like the Ferrari in the background.

Gemballa is known for their interiors.

Pretty funky body kit.

The front is ok, if you like hard lines on a 928.
I prefer rounded kits.

The rear is not very nice at all, in my opinion.

I liked the 4 tailpipes in a picture of another Gemballa 928,
but seeing them on this car, I realize they look stinky...

I'll say it's tacky!

I'm sorry, but that thing is a living tribute to bolt-on ugly.

The red on white interior is way too old for me and I remember when nobody had a television!

If 928s looked like this, I'd be driving an MG Midget.

I believe my boy would say, "Pimp!" And I agree.

Personally, I think that color is HOT but nobody seems to know what the name of the color is on the 996 boards (dialogue about painting a GT3 that color). It is speculated to be Porsches version of "Zanzibar Red" and was used on the Mclaren F1 in its last year of production.

Put on your white fedora with a feather, your diamond studded cigarette holder, misc. gold nugget jewelry, and purple elevator shoes, and you're ready to cruise the strip.

Have you guys noticed a touch of Orange?. Clockwork orange that is.

It's a hybrid of all sorts of stuff. Personally, the interior is too white. If you worked in a 10 particle clean room, this would be ideal.

I'll pass -

Give me a Wheel only wide body kit - Nice 18" wheels, a supercharger and I'm good to go.

OK...I'm kind of confused here...Did Porsche sell 16 valve engines in their 85's....I thought 85 was the transistion year to 32 valve or was 32 v engines an option....or....was 16v euro engines used in euro 1985's.....HELP.....I'm sooooo confused.....................

If I'm not mistaken, the 85 Euro was a 16 valve engine with 310HP while the US car was a 32 valve with around 250HP.

That is correct Ernest. Euros were 16 valvers and US spec was a 32 valver. except the US HP was 288 and 302 ftlbs of torque (the 310 Hp Euro had 295 ftlbs of torque)

Ernesto-
Well, I wouldn't last long here in Aggieland driving that "thing", but I do think the taste exhibited by its.... exuberant styling would be appropriate for that nolledgable junior college in our nation-state's capital city.
