What made you want to get a 914?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I will start.

I had friends with 911 and I got a 911. When I spun a bearing in my 73 911 my car was in the machine shop in Burbank, CA I went there for lunch on a regular basis.
One of the friends of the owner had a factory real 914-6 with a 3.0 in it. This was back in 1978 and this was not the norm for 914s

Well this friend gave me a ride back from the restaurant and I noted not only how his car seemed faster than my 911 but he was going around 50 miles per hour and he made a right turn. I thought we would crash but instead his car in Slot Like form just made the turn. Like on Rails like a fast ride in Disneyland.

After that I always wanted one. And when someone stole my 911, I got my first of many.

For me I was a 911 guy at first, because I had seen one on a interstate way back in the late 70's,,I had always wanted a collection of Porsche's so as I learned about 911's and 944's,..I ran across a 914 and I liked it right off,.That became my second purchase from Ca. a signal orange and black 74' as I started to drive it around Tucson,az It was just so much more fun to drive to me, that I now have only 914's,.the rest have been sold ,But I would like to own a 968 or a boxster someday.
