I have the same car (platinum) and about to install the 6.2 LS engine Will be a lot of fun when finished,long tube Kooks headers,BTR camshaft etc,not looking for race car hp,but reliability,which I haven’t had in the 15 yrs I have owned it Like all 928’s they have electric Gremlins,and the only way to correct that problem,is with the GM engine,totally reliable,tuneable,parts are readily available etc✅ The 928 is a fantastic car,a true GT
A guy in town here had one for a long time and he seldom got the opportunity to drive it as it was always breaking down. Iirc it had constant problems with the drive line and of course electrical nightmares. But boy howdy they're gorgeous looking. LS should make it scoot quite well.
Real Daytona's don't have rectangular headlights, huge wheel flares, cheap looking fake borramis, narrow Corvette windshield frames with the wrong pitch, narrow bodies made out of fibre glass, cheap looking imitation dashboards and seats. Nice idea but certainly not as cool as the real thing. It's just a Corvette.
What would be the purpose of a replica that was as cool as the real thing? It would cost almost as much and still not be the real thing. The whole point of the replicar industry (whether it is good, bad or indifferent) is that it puts classic looking cars within reach of mere mortals. Granted, there's an element of fraud in driving a VW that is styled to look like a classic Jag or Mercedes, but to each their own. So long as the McBurnie (or whatever) replicar is not being passed off as original, I don't have a problem with it. And those who do should just not buy or build one.
I watch more engine swap videos than a grown man probably should. The 928 (and the SL Benz) are perfect candidates for an LS swap. The old engines are garbage by modern standards, and savagely unreliable. Old slushboxes are even worse. This car with an LS and a stick is going to be as reliable as a Camry. How much about $$??
Offizieller Aufruf: Falls jemand so einen 928 in guten Zustand hat, benötigt aber verzweifelt eine Niere, so weiß ich, ich habe immernoch 1 zuviel. Vorne super, Seite elegant, hinten sehe ich den Millennium Falke, aber in GEIL. Ernsthaft, .....
@@romb1818 Please don't take offense, It's a pet peeve of mine. Lots of people started incorrectly calling them rims instead of wheels. I always point out... The steering wheel in a car also has a rim, but no one calls it a steering rim. It's a steering wheel, the part that you hold on to, the outer edge is called the rim. The center portion of the wheel is called the hub, radiating out from the hub are the spokes, slots or solid disc. The outer edge is the rim. 👍
