We have JUST fixed this car in time to get to the auto train to go to Amelia Island and the Rennworks Reunion! What better way to test my refreshed Porsche 928 than to put it on the I95 and point it at Florida and then just go!
In the last video, we fixed the car up and now, in this video, we are going to use it as intended and that’s go on a ROOOOOAAAAAD TRIIIIIP!
Let me show you the journey, what I really like about the 928, what I don’t like and what you should look out for. I will also show you Amtrak’s AutoTrain which is, in my opinion, the ONLY way to travel down the east coast down to Florida! So civilized, comfortable and restful.
All written, researched and edited by me. You can download all my Porsche model guides at www.jayreadyoutube.com so go and take a look there, OK?
Why not follow me on Instagram too? I am a CAR guy first and I get around so take a look at the reels and pictures that I take because you might like them! Also you get news on my own Porsche, my MG and other life events there before RU-vid! Look for jayreadyoutube on Insta now!

Awesome Jay your upgraded 928!! I enjoyed the 'ride along' in your landshark. A 911 is a nice attractive car, but the 928 is/has something extra special. That 70/80s scifi look. Beautiful.

oh yeah, V8. My daily is a V8 and a absolutely love it. So great to hear your 928 on the highway as you give it the beans. Seems the perfect car for a long road trip, even with the auto. Actually seems to suit the GT nature of the car. Cracking vid Jay!

GT3 sounded good from here ! It's satisfying seeing things come together . I recently bought a red V6 2009 Chrysler 300 awd - nothing special - at a fair deal knowing I'd spend some money . Timing belt , new brakes (big difference) , tune up and last week the second mechanic I took it to who knew these cars well replaced the sway bar hangers which totally transformed the front end handling . Feels like I'm done ... for now . Enjoying the winter with an open sunroof and heated seats hahaha

I've had a 924 and currently own a 986 Boxster S but always wanted a 928 so I am living vicariously through you with this car. I went to buy a 928 back in 1989 on a Saturday morning and someone had purchased the car the night before. Any other 928 I was thinking of buying always came about at the wrong time or needed too much work prior to being roadworthy. I was told by Porsche dealership salesman to be careful with the 928 because they are expensive to fix so I am looking forward to your upcoming installment covering the costs involved with this car.

Looks like a fun trip. Still miss my 1984 S2. Wasn't particularly quick but would hold 165mph (on the Autobahn) until traffic would slow us down. Yours is definitely worth holding on to. If you buy an S4 or GTS, please keep your S2 too... (ask me how I know 😉)

Great idea! I did the Amtrak auto train years ago to accompany my girlfriend, now wife of 15 years, to an internship in Florida. We couldn’t afford the sleeper car. Never occurred to me to use it to get to Amelia for Werks. I think I just might do that, and this time get the sleeper car!

Well, back in 1985 the 928 had serious challengers: Mercedes Benz 560 SEC, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Alpina 635 CSI, or BMW M5, Audi Sport Quatro, Jaguar XJS, Mazda RX7 II, for example. Some of them are marvelous miles eaters too and still pretty reliable today. Don't get me wrong, the 928 was one of the best, but not the single one.

Great stuff. Don't want to jinx the car but I heard a high pitched whine when you accelerated to show the sound from the exhaust. Very possible it's nothing but better to take note just in case. Looking forward to the next installment.
@JAYREAD

Yes, I’m aware of that. I think it could be the exhaust. Not sure though. Pretty sure it’s not the engine itself.
@johnmcdonnell81

@@JAYREAD No, it didn't sound like it was from the engine. Yep, possibly from the exhaust itself or something like torque tube related or related to engine load via the drivetrain. Exhaust does seem likely as it's been modified. Enjoy yourself, lucky man ! 👍

Yo Jay, your 928 sounds sweet! as far as manual vs automatic for a 928, i think you made the right choice going for the automatic, its a GT car, its meant for road trippin'. that's coming from a die hard manual shift guy. a 928 manual doesn't seem right.
