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!

As I understand it, a stock 2.0L 4 has an advantage over a stock 2.0L 6. In that it has almost as much horsepower, but less weight (better handling). The advantage the six would have is acceleration from like, 60 to 90, where the extra torque shows up. When you start talking about bigger fours and sixes, it's the same thing. As long as the horsepower is comparable the lighter four will handle a bit better, but, the extra torque from the six will give you better high end acceleration. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Oh, FI is less troublesome than carbs. So, if I were going to put in a six, it would be a FI one.
