Nope.. My dad had a 1984 5000S wagon, 5spd manual. 2,144cc 5 cylinder motor. 110hp. It could go nearly 500 miles on a full tank of gas though

But no, it could never accelerate, whether intended or unintended
As to the 928s, my folks also had one.. a 1984 928S auto. imho, yes, in person the cars look much better than they do in pics. I also think that overtime, their size and weight are something folks are now accustomed to.
Next to a 2100lb 911 or 356? no.. they look ginormous. Next to a modern 3500lb 996TT, they look much smaller.
I also think that when the added the Front and Rear spoilers, they added a bit of aggressiveness that also makes them look better than non-spoiled versions.
