OK, what's what here. In another thread Tom posted a factory data sheet re: '73 914. It list the Curb Weight as 2145 and the As Tested weight as 2460. Just curious because my water cooled 6 conversion came in as 2340 with a full tank, spare tire and tools in the trunk. I should add this was before I added the AC but the compressor was on the engine so I'm probably about 25 lb's heavier now. TIA, Kent (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

FYI #2 - Jan-Feb 1973 MT "914S" article:
     > Note that between this article & the later April R&T one, the "naming" was changed from "914S" by Porsche, when R&T used 914-2, & later Porsche used 914-2.0 "officially", but continued to use up Porsche+Audi's (USA & Canada) 1973 MY sales brochures with "914S" until they were gone & replaced with later ones using "914-2.0" which IIRC wasn't until the 74 MY introduction. Also note that the 914S mpg at 18-22 is way off the actual later R&T specs & in real life was up to the mid-30's mpg highway. In real life LA/SoCal area use, I regularly got 25-30 mpg city & 30-35 mpg highway on trips ... sometimes as high as 39 mpg.
