I think this was a comedy skit loosely based on facts. IE: comparing a 4 place GM car by price and straight line preformance is either intended to be funny or a bad attempt at a the comedy skit "Who's on First".
If this was supposed to be an article based in fact the author should have compared the 914 to the two seat plastic pig made by GM. Then the author could have at least made a dollar for dollar MSRP and went on to comment that the plastic pig would out HP the 914 by 110hp. 1973 350 c.i.= 190hp. But every 70's vintage plastic pig that ever followed a 914 into the twisty did one of two things. They either learned what 914 tail lights look like at a distance or the limit of their G60 Polyglass tires as they left the road. That IS the pucker factor. |
