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!

Both are great for different reasons, I drove a 2.0 4 for almost 30 years but always was looking to get more power out of it, but if I was looking for a nice street and highway cruiser and gas millage was a concern I would stick with a pure stock fuel injected 2.0.
I use my car more for fun and around town errands but enjoy the thrill of a blast onto the highway. I have always looked to the 930 Turbo Carrera as the benchmark for the performance I was looking to achieve. It would be tough to get that 300 plus hp performance out of a 4 regardless of the 100lbs lighter factor. As far as costs, I consider my car the same as owning a 911. In 30 years of owning and driving a 914 I put less than 90,000 miles on it. If I take very good care of my 40,000 mile turbocharged 3.0 six, It should see many years of driving before it sees that expensive rebuild. |
