Re: Advice - Ditch the talon for 928
There is no comparison between a 944 and a 928, they are as different as different can be. The 944 is a 4-cylinder car, the 928 only came with a V8. The 928 can definitely be made to handle well. When I used to autocross around 1995-1997, there was a red 928 race car that used to come out and play. It was nasty fast and outhandled anything else there except an open wheel car or shifter cart. With the right parts, it'd outhandle most anything. I was referring to the stock suspension combined with age.
Mine is also an auto, they shift well, but might not be the best setup depending on what you use it for. They have a lot more wiring and such than the 924/944. The Bosch electronics had problems(which I just had fixed on mine) and can be a bear to track down. Since they are so different than all the other Porsches, most Euro shops won't touch them. I got mine fixed up at Auto Edge in Mahtomedi, since they were the only ones that would work on it that I called.
Also, mine has the newer S4 style rear and spoiler, which look much better than the old ones. I'm pretty sure you can swap those parts on and put some better looking wheels on than the phone dialers they came with in 1985.
