Hey guys! I'm sure this has been hashed out a million times here, but i was just wondering how it feels to have a powerful 914-6. I own a totaled 2.0 and it's stock. Wrecked it right after high school. (good tires are important!!!) Interesting enough-my friend owned a 1998 454 suburban and my 914 was exactly as fast as it all the way to 98 mph when the suburban's governor kicked in. Here's my question-how fast is a regular 914-6? What car (speed wise) does it compare to? I understand all 914-6's will be different-but i would like to know about yours. Let me know your thoughts!

If you're talking about just for the street I have little experience. Here's my experience with track cars: I run a 2.7 twin plug 6, my friend runs a 2.0/4. He is usually only 1 to 2 seconds off my pace on big tracks like Willow Springs and Laguna Seca, so he is very quick. In nearly 3 years of racing I've never done any engine work, not even changed the plugs because they still look good. He pulls his engine to do some kind of repair just about every event. He's gone through more sets of heads than I can remember. I'm sure if he had one of Jakes creations the story might be different, but generally speaking a 6 that's set up right will give you loads of reliability and smiles. I enjoy resting between sessions while he runs around with a jack. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
