Claims 5.4liter 908 flat 8 engine* and those sure don't look like center-lock BBS wheels to me. 3liter in the other 2 914's. |

I'm pretty sure I recall seeing that same car and picture in a vw Porsche magazine back in the 80's. It was for a body kit ad and the wheels look like the enkei 4 lug mesh wheels. So yeah I say bs too.

Of course it's not a 908 engine. Even if in some bizarro world this guy got
one, recall that those are 3.0L. It would be impossible to make a 5.4L out of it. |
