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 stock 1.7's 2.0's, most of them FI 914's that made great drivers, but not much power. The problem I have with building a large 4cyl is the noise factor. When you usually open up something like that, you usually hear all carbs and exhaust. not for me. I have had 914-6's with 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 and 2.7 engines. Those 911 engines were all stock and nice and quiet. None ever gave me any troubles either. Very solid engines.
I would think it is your tastes. Any 914 is worth the effort IMO. Right now I am running a 73' 914-6 with a 2.2T engine. Great flat power band, easy, easy, easy to drive. Not loud, stock air cleaner, no carb noise. We have taken it on quite a few trips and love it. Great comprise at 26mpg hwy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
