I took this photo a couple days ago. Interesting visual side by side. Shows how low and wide the 914 is.

I few years back I noticed something kind amusing about the 911's
There was a side by side marketing picture that they took from the rear of the new 2016 model, so I decided to overlay the old one on top of the new one to see the difference in size.

Then as I looked closer I realized the biggest difference.

They made the 911 wide!

I love the side by side shot with the 917 next to a 914. So tiny!

Literally LOL.

The two rear wheels from the lastest 911 Turbo side by side are nearly the width of the early 911s.

My stable a couple of years ago. When the offer came for the 914 it was hard to refuse.

Not a lot of regrets with with the 987 S though. The 914 was joyful and a novelty. The 987 above 4k make one absolutly giddy.

I.ll never go to the dark side......although I was eyeballing a 992 pretry hard at the Covid compliant PCA CC last weekend.
