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!

Someone awhile back posted the dyno results for a 2.0 six. I don't remember if he posted the dyno charts but my 2056 made more peak power than his. I wouldn't mind comparing the dyno charts to see what really happens but maybe later.
"Faster" is a relative term. I can take a four cylinder civc and blow your doors off in a straight line and on some race tracks for half as much money. Does it make cool noises like the six, NO. A found can go faster than a six at the track but it will be much harder. On the street they both have good and bad points. I would agree with Jake and either go with a four or V8 (which is what my street car will bring). If you have an original six car for really cheap OK, but I wouldn't convert if it were me. |
