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!

my 2 ¢ worth
My first teener was a stock 1.8. I thoroughly enjoyed it for 5 years. I then decided I wanted more oomph. I seriously considered a stock 914-6. I didn't think it offered enough 'more' to justify double the price for not much more than a VIN that started with 914xxx. I bought another 4 and 'improved' it. It was nice, but not prefect. I decided some sort of a conversion was what I needed. I checked out some V-8's. They do have their benefits but they were not right for me. I finally decided on a 3.0+ conversion. For my taste it seems to be the best of both worlds. There is no 'right answer' to this question. That is why there are so many options and so much variety out there. I can appreciate any teener from a stock 1.7 to a tube frame, twin plug, turbo monster. |
