When compared to a Mondial, the 928 looks great.
I remember being a kid and realizing that the Mondial looked like crap and was slow. |

Would you do it for a car that has been mechanically blueprinted?

it's a long boring story. i meant to post a picture of the 1989 911 Turbo (guards red) that is having its engine disassembled and reassembled with new parts as needed. when finished, it will be a truly outstanding and brilliant machine. i missed the boat on it, of course, but keep angling for the current owner to have buyer's remorse so i can buy it 'after' rehab is done. so that led me to question: would any of us buy this 928S4 if we knew it had been pulled apart and everything mechanical been re-assembled to better than factory tolerances?

But a 911 Turbo is a very different car from a 928S4, in a whole bunch of important ways. |

However, it is true that it's a very different car - I'm fairly certain Porsche engineers thought it "improved" in every way, yet, just as when Leo Fender "improved" guitar amps by removing distortion (by means of negative feedback) - some "improvements" are just not, um .... appreciated |
