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!

I have had a 3.0 six with 964 cams, webers,915 trans. Faster than you need to go. I have a 305 V8 914, 4 speed trans, Holley projection, faster than you need to go. Not a perfect AX car but lots of power. I have a 2.4 six, Zenith carbs, stock 5 speed trans, 5 lug. Much more drivable and fun. Great for AX and street. I have a big 4, Dells,big flares 17" five lug wheels. Stock 5 speed trans. Lots of fun to drive, not as fast as any of the other cars, but you aren't going to get in trouble as quick.
