If Chevy had made the 914's, would they still get the same attention they do? Is the 914 dependent upon the porsche cachet? What if it was a Honda product? Would people care?

The basic 914 design is awesome. Look at what the chassis can do on the track. It almost seems that every engine imaginable is tried in a 914 chassis. I like to think that it was the Porsche genius that makes the 914 what it is. It is not that Porsche is infallible, they just got this one spot on. Sure they saddled the bulk of them with a weak 4 banger, and the six was strangled so as not to outshine the 911, but the raw potential is there. VW strangled the project on price also.
