How are us 914 owners viewed by the 911 owners? Are we looked down upon as glorified VW owners or accepted as Porsche owners? In other words, you meet a car guy and he owns a 911 and you mention you own a Porsche also. When he asks you what model, and you say a 914, is he going to look down his nose at you or accept you as an equal?

Personally I do not care what 911 owners think of either of my cars.
I remember 356 owners advising anyone who'd listen to snap up a 356C or SC as they would be the last real Porsches once the 911 was in showrooms. They also looked down on the 356 Speedster as "entry level." And 993 owners saying the same about the last real Porsches (with air cooled engines) before 996s hit the market.. As far as 914s, as some have said: they kick butt at local and National PCA events. Including last few Parades. And Charlotte Parade TTOD was a -4, not the usual -6. "He who laughs last laughs best" - to coin an expression. |
