Maybe it is my affinity for the underdog ! After selling a primo 73 S I decided this was my path to "fast". Bought a bone stock 6 except for some unspecified engine warming and found it was my path to "slow". Slowly turned it into a winner (even managing to whip my good friend Terry Z (ONCE ) at an AX. (That IS a war story) ...Went back to 911s and never got the satification compared to making that little car handle. Sold it when big tired corvettes of late 80s started killing me with there ABS and 17 inch wheels. Returned to 914-6s 2 years ago and have the "habit " bad ... Run conversion GT on the track to avoid potential of killing a real one but love em all. One that turns my crank the most is 2.7 with mechanical inj with gears .
