...what would you ask them?

Something about the exterior design and aerodynamics?
Something about the interior design?
Something about the engine?
Something about the torque tube and transmissions?
Something about the suspension?

What would be your question?

Did you see the 924GT or 944? Yea? Hey, check out those rear fenders.....oh, took you a few years to catch on.

Is the average German test driver under 5' 11"?

Nicole

OK, that's easy to answer. Have you ever read "Projekt 928"? It describes the concerns about oil crises and emissions... They had a 6.0 Liter version running before they decided to start with 4.5.

Besides, Porsche always needs a path for evolution, and extreme power has never been the Porsche thing. They focus on the chassis first, to make the power manageable...

I don't read German, but I do have "Project 928"

Did it bother you when you stopped designing the 928.

What would have been the final width of the 928 if it weren't for the rumored width
restriction of the German car wash?
How wide front and rear tracks and what width wheels? (Of course back then the Pirelli P7's were the "bomb" and tire availability limited wheel widths)

The 928 just doesn't feel wide once one gets used to it.

Designers of the 928 project who did not escape were either shot or had their eyeballs removed with spoons.

Haven't been able to afford any I've come across...wait, is that OK to say? Seriously though, thanks for addressing the qquetion. Not thuroughly happy with thefactory rationale, but always good to learn a bit about the thinking at the time. Thanks!!

O.K then...howabout WHAT, you thought your motor mounts would onlly NEED to last ten years?

Or, wait, howabout What, you always though thte cost of a TB/WP at a professional shop would cost way less than the car is worth........ergggggggghhhhhh

hacker-pschorr

I have to remove what to change a pan gasket?

Bill Ball

Why the heck didn't you just specify $18 Anchor solid motor mounts and be done with it?

Why didn't you have a supercharger installed at the factory?

What the hell were you thinking when you came up with these weirdo wheel offsets?

Any one of these would have obviated half the crazy arguments here on Rennlist.

If you had free reign...what would you have changed?

Lizard928

my question is why did they allow the 928 to be built with an auto tranny, let alone 85% of them with autos.

hacker-pschorr

So far what I have changed:
Seats
Power
Brakes (OB)
Wheels

Nothing major really - maybe kill the sunroof. Normally I like cars with sunroofs, but the 928 it takes way too much headroom.
