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!

I just sold my 83 928....was my daily driver (and for 1 year I commuted from IN to WI every week). I probably put 80k miles on that car, no issues, unbelievable cruiser, dependable. It has a lot of torque and is almost idling at 65MPH. I'd get in the low 20's on the highway..about 15 in the city. I never had electrical problems, but mine was also a virgin as the previous owners never mucked with any wiring. Only thing that would make me nervous was if I could visibly see if anybody had hacked up the wiring harness..that would be a red flag.

Thanx for the tips & info Jim, Was it 85> that they changed to the better wiring harness to eliminate or at least minimize the electrical problems of the early 928s? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'm guessing that because I saw in the 928 PET last night that the towing electrical hook-up option/accsy. had 2 alts. - IIRC they were for pre & post 85 MY. If it goes the way of the 928 & I can solve the hitch wt. issue - and just as importantly if I can "sell" my wife on a 928 - then I'll try to find an old hand 928 expert to do a PPI, since I don't feel I know enough on those (914s I'm great with). 15 city & 20 highway sames about the same as our 88 Westy - so no loss there, plus a load more power. BTW folks - my wife has been "lobbying" for a GoWesty big bore 2.5L waterboxer on the next engine rebuild/top-end of "her car"!
