Unicorn here, first 928 for me. Looks gorgeous, waaay better than in games
Have you ever seen the Mythbusters episode "Reverse Engineering"? The 928 has been plagued for decades with a reputation for having aerodynamics so bad, it's more aerodynamic going backward than forward. So the Mythbusters decided to test it by pulling the body off a 928 and remounting it backwards, and then testing it against a normal 928. (Side note: they never once said "Porsche" or "928". They just called it a German sports car.)

The result was "myth busted." In every single test, the regular 928 was more aerodynamic than the reverse 928. The most obvious difference was the rolling test. Both cars got up to 60 mph side by side, then they put their cars in neutral to see which would roll farther. It eliminated every variable except aerodynamic resistance, and the regular car was far superior.
