Thinking about it this morning i did a google search and found basically nothing on the car. Does anyone know anything about these? Mine only had a 2.0 tag on the back, had a sideshifter transmission, adjustable height coilovers in the rear, the center console guages, and not sure what else. It didnt have flares like the 6. Unfortunately i sold the car in Ohio after throwing a bearing or something on a cross country trip. Just curious what the s included as an option. The car seemed stock to me however i had no idea that they didnt have coilovers in the back until looking at one years later. Not sure what it had up front for suspension. Just curious. This had 'S' on the title, so i imagine it was factory. Thanks,

I personally like the -6 conversion guys who DO put an appropriate Porsche or in that style 2.2, 2.4, 2.7, 3.0, 3.2 badge on their cars! It both looks clean & is honest - for those who know 914s!
