Which would you choose if the price were the same - say $25,000? Rust Free or taken care of, comparable 3.0s, comparable Interiors & Paint.

Not to pick on these cars, but used as a comparison

1. 914-6 Conversion Clone

2. 911 RS Clone

I would have to go with the 911. My 1st Porsche was a 67 911S followed by a new 73 911T Targa.

Both are clones - not "real" ones - so as long as the 914 suspension & stiffening were upgraded, the 914-6GT clone would be the better handler IMHO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I took the 914. Truth be told, I've only met a few 911 owners I didn't want to punch in the mouth shortly after meeting them.

911 owners that also had/have a 914 seem to like the car for what it is, not for who it makes them appear to be. I'm cool with the former and have no use for the latter.

I've driven every late model Porsche there is and most older ones. I'm over 911s. If I had my choice of any current car Porsche offers, it would be a mid engine Spyder or Cayman R. So in this case I would have to go with the 914-6 GT.

Honestly, I'm not much of a car guy. I like 914's but I'm not really "into" Porsche's. I think we tend to like what we were exposed to as a teenager and for me that was a 914. Weird huh?

I voted for the 911, purely from the standpoint of financials. Long-hood 911s are starting to go for pretty serious coin, while I think that modified 914s are more stagnant. Which would I rather own and drive - the 914, hands down. I had a 911 for 3 years, which was long enough to get it out of my system for a while. I may own another one someday, but for now, I would rather sink what I can into my teener.

Voted 911. Already have a 914 but they are both sweet rides IMO.

I chose the 914-6 clone because it would be - and was - my first choice between the two. But now that I have one being assembled in my garage . . . I would absolutely love to have a '73 RS clone to go with it.

In fact when I do decide to get rid of my 997 that is exactly what I plan on replacing it with. The new ones just don't give the emotional response for me.



Oh - and boobs.

my last porsche was a 993TT with GT2 turbos and over 500HP chipped ............ and guess what I am wasting my money on now .......... a 914 GT replica/clone ............ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


for this thread however ........ I would choose the 911RS only if it were a 1969-1973 model year (for the later wheel base) but they are both beautiful!!!

......... and boobs!!!! ............... ( . )( . ) ........... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
