914 vs 911, No, not a race Options

[scrz914]

Ok, I know some of you drive/have 914s and 911s. As this is a 914 forum everyone, I'm sure, has a strong opinion about their 914s. I'd like to hear some. What are the advantages of the 914 over the 911. Why did you choose a 914? $$$?, the people?
I know that people tend to dog the 914. Since I bought my first 914 in October I have growing respect for it. But now I have a chance to get a 911 for a good price, but I still day dream about my 914. Hmm...maybe I should keep both...naw, too expensive.
Seriously, I'd like to hear what people think of 911s compared to the 914.

"Well, you got that Yellow car running finally. When are you selling it?"

Uhhhh. Never. Well, never say never...Maybe if The right 914GT or a 916 came a long...

Nahhhh. This is a driver! No concours BS here. Maybe "Los Panchos" will take the sow's ear and turn it into something that looks like a silk purse.

I have a 82 911SC and the 914/6. The SCs are light compared to the later model cars, but are still pretty heavy. The 911 looks pretty, they are the ones the girls want to get driven in (Take that any way you like), it has A/C and power windows and sunroof, nice cushy seats, cruise control, etc. It's my comfy highway cruiser which can also be used on the twisty curvy roads.

My 914/6, even without the sway bay in the front, kicks the SCs butt in the twisty curvey, put a smiley on my facey, scare my wifey make her pray'ey thing that the 911 will never do. And I do love being able to remove the top.

And that sound...oh the 914/6 with the triple throat carbs..ummmmm. Nothing like it.

And conversly, the 914/6, a factory original one, is worth more than any 911, up to about 1989. PCA just valued my 82SC at $19.6K where the 914/6 was valued at $25K.
