I must agree - it doesn't matter how many inapropriate sexual advances he has made toward me, he should not have been banned.

This thread was supposed to be about getting Lart back and after the first few posts, it quickly became about bashing each other, again.

928's are excellent cars. 951's are excellent cars. Both have somewhat dated futurisitic looks. There are nice/fast 928's and 951's. There are POS/slow one's too. 2 different cars built for 2 different markets/purposes. M3 and M5 come to mind, both very nice and nice to drive but still different.

Personally, if I owned a 928 I would want to make it beautiful and fast and keep it original. Use it as a high speed freeway burner. My 951 is all about going faster and turning faster, very minimal on how it looks.

Actually those are two different cars / drivers in those two videos. The first one is a stock 1979 (slowest 928 ever made) on street tires with street pads on 87 octane with a stock motor (lowered with koni reds & S4 calipers). There are other video’s of this car at RA chasing down and passing 951’s. Experience? Skill? Who knows, it was my first DE. Then in another video there is a multi-colored yellow 951 that blew my doors off. Come to find it’s a factory cup car with a 30+ year PCA club racer behind the wheel. Previous sessions I was hanging with the car just fine (it was the co-driver, first time at RA) So you never know what the other guy is running for a motor or experience until it’s too late. I could care less, I’m having a blast in the track. There is a 400hp N/A engine waiting to drop into my car. Should prove to be a real kick in the pants vs. the 240ish I have now.

Mark Anderson’s car is an example of what happens when you run an almost unlimited 928. He may have the only 928 out there that fills this category, there are plenty of 951’s that have been pushed to the limits.

This is where you and I are way off on these topics. I have never been nor have any of (most of) the 928 gang trying to “prove” anything. Hell, I’ve owned a 944S for over 10 years now – love it to death, it’s a great car (should have bought a turbo in 1996, that is a different story). But when you and a few others run in, start beating your chests bashing 928’s and claiming the 951 is the end all of Porsche performance, sorry, the BS meter starts going into overdrive. They are great cars – can be pushed very far on a small budget (compared to say, 911’s).

So? How is that even a factor in anything. There are more 951’s on the track than Enzo’s to. It’s just a relevant.

Then the GT followed by the GTS in the 928 world came out…more power, better suspension, better transmission…….it’s never ending!!!

100% pure opinion – I’ve spent hundreds of hours in both (street and modified) and I cannot nor will I claim one is the overall better handling car. I do prefer my 928 track car over any 944 / 951 I’ve driven – for what I do with the car and what I want out of the car it suits me the best. It’s that simple.

Some of us love all Porsche's - hate to see any one group go out of their way to bash another.

On the topic of Lart - he'll be back, it's a temporary ban. Wrong place at the right time - happens every day around here.

Wrong place at the right time thats such BS easy thing to say when you can still post here

hacker-pschorr

Bring back The Lart !

You want this board to drift into cup holders and colored lights....?

Seriously though, too many good guys (who speak their mind/rough around the edges) are lost from forums. Granted, there is a line, but hey, having a bit of a good time is part of keeping your sanity through 944 ownership !

LuisGT3

Bring him back.
