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'm with Root werks on this one.
A trained monkey can buy parts and bolt them on. The stuff root werks does is just short of brilliant IMO. Finding a way to make something completely functional without thowing fistfulls of money at it is kind of what I like about 914s. If something functions as well as well as a high dollar OEM part, it is as good as a high dollar OEM part IMO, maybe better. Spending big money for that "original appearance" does nothing for me. Of course I've never even had an incling to be a CW either. I do kind of like the idea of being a cobbler tho, shows imagination and a learned skill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) I posted on rennlist 914 a few years ago that I could do a decent looking, good running 914/6 conversion for under $4k. Some scoffed, some that know me agreed. Now we have a new king, Root Werks who has taken my statement and bettered it. But, he didn't make the claim first like I did, he built it first and then shared. Long live the king. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
