'86 911 turbo
This car is a blast to drive. Very quick when the RPMs are over 3k when the turbo kicks in. Very solid car. Very well made compared with the 914. Of course I'm comparing an '86 to a '71. Handling-wise the 911 scares me as snap-oversteer is always in the back of my mind. I think my 914 handles better. I can throw the 914 into corners without worrying about the rear end chasing the front end around the corner. Attached thumbnail(s) |

apples and oranges...simple as that. When I drive my 914 I'm transported back to 1973. The feel, the smells, etc. It's a time machine. I'm not looking to upgrade my 914 to a modern car. My 911 is a 1990 and much more modern in every aspect. However, the fun factor is absolutely the same. Really, if I had Seinfeld money, I'd do what he did, buy one of every type and drive them as much as possible, to include errands. I've been driving a 2002 Mini Cooper to work and that is a very fun car. Gives me the same smiles as the 914 (well, it has awesome air, so I'm smiling and not sweating).
The 964 didn't have torsion bar suspension. It's a dream to drive. No snap oversteer. It's an incredibly forgiving car. Of course, once I have to stop writing tuition checks, then I'm shopping for a GT3. |
