1980 Porsche 928 S Euro review from North America
"Eur versions blow USA versions away, AWESOME"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New clutch assembly every 20000, new tie rods every 30,000.
General comments?
I have owned this 928S EUR since 85. I purchased it from a man that had just imported it into the USA.
Although maintenance cost are higher than most American cars, most high performance cars cost more to drive and the thrill of driving it far out weighs the cost of driving it. This year and model was extremely fast as it weighs only 3190lbs and packs 300HP and 385 LBS of torque. Comfort wise it blows the vette away and will give even the late models fits on short curvy tracks.
Mine is used sparingly, it would take a lot of $ to get this one away from me.
