1.8L vs 2.0L Options

[Cal]

After owning early 911's for years I've decided to find a mint/excellent condition 914 to possibly purchase.....ideally a '73 2.0L. I've found a possble candidate that's for sale through a very reputable member here. The only issue.....it's a '74 with a 1.8L. Question......in the long run would I regret not waiting for a similar 2.0L to hit the market? Is the performance difference that noticeable between the two? Here's a photo of the 1.8L car in question. Any advice would be helpful....I'm all ears.

Lots of good advise in this thread because Cuda911 had the same questions last year.

Read the entire thread and pm Cuda on what he thinks. Or perhaps he'll chime in.

If you had a stock 914, even a six, and raced my daughter's new Civic in a quarter mile, you'd see nothing but tail lights. But that's not what these cars are about.

As Jeff said, condition is more important.
