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 guess that most of you guys that have never experienced a truely refined TIV engine with a correct combination- Thats the issue....
Yes, I have driven some really crappy 4 cylinders myself, and taken apart thousands.. Please don't compare something that takes me 80 hours to configure, machine, assemble and dyno to something cranked out of a lesser facility. I am very familiar with the sound of a six, but at the same time I can' tell much difference from one of those from my MassIVe 2270 or 2316 in the sound dept... especially with a Tangerine Super Header... The other nice thing about a -4 is that even in the highest state of tune any backyard VW mechanic can work on it! No need to pay someone 80 bucks an hour because its a "Porsche"..... I wonder if any of those six experts have ever been able to build one of their babies while blindfolded in front of 500 people???? I did and thats just how simple the TIV is. Simplicity is a must! |
