I did a little Googling, but didn't come up with much on this topic.
I know you guys like to nickname the 911 as an assdragger, with the engine at the back. What other negatives - and positives, does the 911 (70s model) offer over the 914? Aside from the rear engine and more powerful stock motor. Not for racing/atx, but for street use. Parts availability, maintenance costs, reliability, etc etc. Thanks. |

I have a few 911s and a 914. I use the 914 for daily driving and errands. The 911s are used mainly at the track, mountain roads, or long highway drives. Stop and go is about the same in either car, but highway is much better in the 911. Re-sale will probably always be better with a 911. Yes most people say cars are not investments, but i have made money on every Porsche I ever owned.
