Huh? Slow?! I'm not sure what model you are talking about pbkid (since MoonRaker referenced my 928 but posted a picture of a 911).

My 1989 928-GT was spec'd to do 0-60 mph in 5.8 sec with a top speed of 171 mph. I would hardly call that slow. Maybe your co-worker had an early-80's model? Those were a bit pokey at around 7 sec for 0-60.

That said, those were fast cars in their day. You don't remember the dark ages when Corvettes made a stunning 170 hp, huh?
