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.

I have a '91 C2, lowered with H&R sport springs, 17" rims w/low profile tires (no sidewall flex)....handles great, makes for a stiff and loud ride, lately this has been my daily driver putting on a little over 100 miles a day...for about 80% of those miles, I wish I was driving something else due the the crappy roads and traffic....there is a reason this car has no cupholders...your drink would be on the floor or your lap everytime you run over an expansion joint or reflector in the road !!!!

but for those remaining 20%, the car is a blast, nothing like taking a slow speed turn, hitting the gas and getting the ass to swing out while the tires struggle to get traction......today I went out of my way to drive 5 extra miles of twisty 1st and 2nd gear turns....made sitting in the traffic worth it
(I do feel bad for the bird that flew into my front bumper while doing 60)

My 911 is heavy and with such a big ass wanting to always come around, one has to pay attention while driving...I belive the 911 makes me a better 914 driver and to me, all most anyone can drive a 914 fast or fairly quick and get away with making mistakes.

The 914 is almost too easy to drive, it is a sh!tload of fun however, when my 914 was bone stock, I enjoyed driving it more than my 911 (for the 2 days I drove it before I took it apart last year, LOL)

If I could, I get an earlier 911, such as a '73 or earlier, I like them way, way more than mine. I am not that attached to my 911, if it gets wrecked (again) and totalled, my biggest concern will be "is the motor okay" since I'd want to stuff that into my 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
