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?

I get the same reaction when I tell people I have a Cayman S. The thing is the people who have a 911 to drive don't say anything bad, the ones who have a 911 for the show ask why I could not afford a 911. I did not really want one. And I have seen a lot of magazine interviews with race car drivers what new car they want a lot say a Cayman. I have fun in my Cayman and will have fun in my 914 when I get it on the road.
PS the first 356 did have a mid engine, they went with the rear as it was cheaper. |
