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.

QUOTE(Mueller @ Nov 9 2004, 09:58 AM) QUOTE(krk @ Nov 9 2004, 08:34 AM) An odd vote in a way. One of the things that I get a real kick out of in the 914 community is the engineering and fab skills. I love looking at the work that has gone -- particularly the cleverness/creativity/design work. You don't see this anywhere near as much in the other p-car communities. For my own car though, I'd be more-or-less happy with a decent sixer. I say "more or less" because an original /6 is not a particularly strong performer -- needs more ponies -- but I'm not sure I want to stray from factory in that case. Ah well -- it's not a bad problem to have (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) kim. kim, I have to disagree, some of the 356 guys have us beat hands down when it comes to cleverness/creativity/design work on our P-cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I like bone stock 914s, there is something "neat" about having a car that old in original condition, however, right now for me, that is not the type of car that I want to own right now...so I picked the heavily modified/molested (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Actually I'm happy to stand corrected. I debated mentioning the outlaw group -- they have done some pretty amazing things, some of which have showed up in some pretty cool magazines, and some which I really *really* like. But I don't have a sense for how big that crowd is or how active, and they seem less race oriented than the 914 crowd. (those are all pretty clueless comments tho (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)) Mike/JP, do you think there are many with non-pcar drive trains? kim. |
