I'm one of those Porsche purists, really particular about all the little details. I drive the crap out of my car, but I still make sure it has the correct nuts and bolt, so the concours judges don't give me any lip. I notice a lot of radically modified 914s here, just wanted to get a sense of how everybody feels.

Peronally, if it has a throttle, I wanna drive it or ride it, no matter what it is. 2, 3, 4 wheels no matter. As long as I'm in it, working on it, breaking it, wasting money on it, it's cool.
I chose a 2.0 over a brand new V6 (I had a new crate motor) to put in my car, because it was easier, but also because it's a wierd car, and should at least have a wierd motor in it - it's so much fun to crunch through gears at 4 grand and hear the motor, carbs, fan, and every other rattle and noise it makes. A V8 would be awesome I'm sure, and if I had another 914 I'd certainly consider hacking in a SBC! I'd also LOVE to drive a nice big flat six, one of those that everyone here seems to long for......... I could never afford one, sadly. I can appreciate a stone stocker as well, and would never hack a pristine one apart, but these are cars, and meant to be driven - so if you have a concourse car, put it in a crystal ball, but go buy another so you can beat the snot out if it and DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE!!
