I remember seeing on...I like the earlier 928s too. I remember seeing one for the first time in Europe in the late '80s—it looked like a spaceship. I loved it.<br /><br />Though I certainly wouldn't pass up a nice late-model 928GTS. :) Rocket sled.<br /><br />If parts prices were even <em>slightly</em> more reasonable—say, in BMW territory—I'd seriously consider getting one.Spannerheadhttp://www.spannerhead.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-4067395576761395262013-01-12T13:59:53.840-08:002013-01-12T13:59:53.840-08:00Re: timing belt length, you saw the same TG video!...Re: timing belt length, you saw the same TG video!<br /><br />I agree, the earlier 928 had much prettier, smaller, vertically bisected tails - cooler interior and prettier, if not as powerful or valvey engines too.<br /><br />I don't know why, but I always convince myself that my ownership experience will be the exception to the rule, I'll be the one dissenter on some Vortex thread about cheap used 928's, the one guy who's has been completely reliable... probably totally unrealistic but it's fun to imagine.<br /><br />But yeah, it does look scary, terrifying even.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07130575175687846742noreply@blogger.com
