"You can spend as much as $6,500 "hot rodding" your 4-cylinder and still not match the performance of a stock 914 6-cylinder."
This is tech tip 100 from an old AA catalogue. Without this turning into an AA bashing thread, I was wondering what club member's opinions were. I had the opportunity to drive a 74 911 targa for the first time this weekend, and it was a blast. |

So what kind of improvements can you expect from the 2.0 engine that AA is building on their Extreme 914? Is it worthg it? They have listed the engine parts and modifiactions on week 9. Sorry about not adding the thread, I don't know how to do that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
