1985 928 Base 292 hp, ~3,300 lbs
Every year the 928 slots in firmly above the 944 Turbo with more units produced: only 14k 944 Turbo's produced vs. ~26k 928's over the same period of time. Yes an early 928 is undoubtedly slower than a 944 Turbo (mostly due to the weight, similar overall power numbers) but still faster than a base 944.
I don't know why I've gone so in depth, they are very different cars with 500 lbs in between them, one is a grand tourer the other a sports car. It's like comparing an FRS to a Lexus IS.
944 headlights are about as interesting as a Miata's, these are cool:

You're forgetting that almost every single 928 is saddled with an automatic transmission. And not the great boxes we have today - POS 4 speeds!
