Default 928 Tow Vehicle?

Sort of tongue in cheek; sort of serious. Could an '85 928 32V 5-spd tow a 951 and trailer?

Can a 928 tow a 951 on a trailer? No, you shouldnt, youll have problems with the 951/trailer combo going faster than the 928 towing it.... Thats a dangerous situation when towing.

+ you will expose yourself to Somali pirates. Not sure if the US Navy will rescue an american if he is driving a German boat.

^ That's a good one.

I think it was the picture of the WRX towing a 944 (I think) that inspired my question. That and I'd rather own a 928 than a pickup truck.

I thought all 928's were tow vehicles. Are they not?

i just blew up my tow truck :/

06 2500 and i just found no compression on 2 cylinders

first 40k miles of the trucks life was run on a botched conversion to propane and was running lean, it was only a mater of time.
