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?

Back in 1970 there were discussions about not allowing owners of 914s to join PCA. That idea was squashed but the 914 was not very respected until it gained respect the old fashion way.......it earned it. And a little thanks go's out to the 924. Today I believed the 914 is respected by the majority of 911 owners. In fact, it's amazing how many 911 owners either have a 914 or wish they had one.

When I joined the PCA in 1988 I was worried about the reception my 914 would get. It turned out most of the 911 guys had 914s as their track car. It seemed most people were into racing and driving their cars to the limit. When I belonged to the Classic Mustang club they were all a bunch of trailer queens and were offended by any modifications. Give me PCA any day. |
