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!

One thing I really like about the 914Club is that so many 914 owners with so many flavors of 914's still come together. Yeah, this is better than TV for sure! But I don't watch TV, so what would I know? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
All in all, drive what you want. If you have a $2500 914 and have only $2500, I could easily convert it to a 6 for someone or myself. If you don't have the resources of Root behind you, then probably best to talk to Jake to build you something strong and reliable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I like the 4's, but the 6's have a mechanical sound unmatched by most other engines on the road. I like that. As for carbs and such (Brett was asking about that), I buy all my engines as complete runners. Usually from 911 owners who are upgrading to bigger engines. Most of the time, they just want to get rid of what they are pulling out. A 2.2T is good for nothing more than a door stop to someone who is putting in a fresh 2.7 or 3.0 or whatever. This is a cool forum and I enjoyed reading everyones thougts. Thanks for all the input! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |
