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 can't say anything about all the conversions, rebuilds,
and exciting stuff that some of the guys here are experts of. But I've have a stock '73 2.0, a stock '73 1.7, and then the current stock (engine) '70 914-6. The -6 is faster. By the time '73 rolled around, enough weight was added that I think it's about the same or heavier than the -6, whose engine was about 90 pounds heavier than the -4. I find that gearing can be better or worse at autocross depending on the setup, second and third gear plus the different rev range are very different. Now, I think a stock -6 is not hugely faster than the -4, but I do like the sound a lot better, and at least for me I like the idea of having the stock 911 2.0T because it seems very reliable and I'm not worried that it's pushed to the limit by the factory, and the trans and the chassis can more than handle it, stock. |
