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 drove a stock 1.7 liter 71 914 all through the end of high schoole and through college (until someone offered me way too big a paycheck) and thought it was the best car in the world.
My next 914 turned into a turbo 2 liter, I was sure it was the best car in the world. Then I built a V8 914. Fun but untyimately disapointing,. I grew tired of it quickly. Mike Zois took me for a ride in his euro 3 liter 911SC, I was hooked. the sound, the feel, the way it just pulled harder and harder the more it revved, and it got smoother the higher it revved. i was hooked and decided that was what i needed right then and there. I got one but soon saw a drawback, no torque to speak of below 4000 rpm, I had to rev it up all the time or keep it in a lower gear to have throttle response. I imagine smaller sixes are worse, never drove one. granted my SC has AC, sunroof, power everything so it is prolly close to 2700 lubs, that might have something to do with it. now with pressurized intake all is well. I have the smoothness, reliability, sound, and power. I dream of a big six 914 and soon I will build one, but it may be a track only car. Sounde like one of you guys with a powerfull 4 needs to take me for a ride and bring me back to my senses. |
