I seem to recall somebody posting here that they'd taken their 928 to some 914 or P-car events over the past year, so I think there are some closet Shark fans out there! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I just don't recall who it was, or if there are several?? I have a crazy question which I posted over at the Pelican 928 Forum about whether you could tow with a 928, so any shark lovers here could maybe answer over there: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-928...tml#post6595065 Otherwise, if you prefer I'll just post it here too, but I didn't want to clutter up a 914 site with 928 questions, and risk being kicked to the sandbox again!

At the risk of a trip to time-out in the sandbox, I'll post the snipped question from the 928 forum here too ..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
<snipped> Okay Folks, Please no pot shots for a crazy question about towing with a non-Cayenne P-car, but there is a method to my madness. My question is whether a 928 could tow a small 16' - 22' 2000 - 3000 lb Airstream type vintage trailer? ... and if so, can a 928 be fitted with a removable tow bar set-up to clear the rear panel & offset any low-to-high height differential to the trailer's tongue? My wife is hot to get a vintage trailer & tow vehicle, but I'm not hot on getting a pick-up nor SUV (sorry Cayenne folks) in our stable. The 928 seems the perfect possibility with more than adequate power & torque, with the added advantage of being a fun to drive P-car & an automatic in many cases, which my wife prefers over a stick. A 928 that she ostensibly drives may also get her more interested in joining me at local PCA events. I recall seeing a 928 in San Diego back in the 1980's towing a Hobie Cat a lot back in the day, but don't know how it was set up with a tow bar. Unfortunately I'm a long time P-car orphan addict, having owned a 73 914-2.0 since 1975 which I'm currently slowly restoring after spending 25+ years in my SoCal garage. So adopting another unloved NARP Porsche model oddly fits, and I've always liked the 928's looks & easy GT performance. TIA for any advice from the "Shark Tank"!
