Cayman R 330 hp, 2855 Lbs
GT3 RS 450 HP, weight 2690 Just a little bit unfair test. Put the 3.8 liter in a cayman and then look at the results. It whooped some factory cars at the 24 hours at the ring. Rich |

From the article:
1969 - After witnessing a decade of mid-engine success throughout the top levels of motorsports, Porsche and VW team up to develop the hapless 914 sports car, which enjoys a life span of only six years. |
