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!

research....research .....research.
when i went in search of more power.i came to one conclusion,(for what i want)6 cyl porsche power was just the way to go.i went over cost.and drove a few sixes,fours, bigs fours,and v8 conversions(yick).i even have drivin a rotery coversion.( too many problems). and i dont pull ideas out of my ass.i look at all sides of the choice.the six will last you longer and be more reliable.as far as cost goes,ive seen the cost of big fours that reach the cost of just doing a stock rebuild of a six myself.but this is only my opinion.the power of a six felt right(3.0)and the car still handled great.v8 conversion had great power,but when you started to turn the car all the traditional feel of the 914 was gone.even more so when you went to stop even with brake upgrades on the cars i was driving.but to each his own |
