I hope this isn't a duplicate, but it ticked me off to see R&T put the 914 in as a "Black Sheep" in an article titled: "12 of the most embarassing cars ever built by otherwise- excellent automakers."

How dare they!

i had a car with a 1.7 a 1.8 a 2.0 but all were worn out motors, so i never owned a strong stock engine myself, but my buddy has a 1.7 in his that runs like a top and when a passenger in it, i can easily feel how nice a good type 4 engine can move a 914 around. makes me want a 914 with a good running stock motor. maybe for my 3rd 914, one day.
