As I write this I think about my nice little 73 - 2056 in my garage. She has given me some problems from the start, but I don't "love" her any less and she is running good. While I have always loved Porsche's and VW's (coming from beetles actually), I always dreamt of owning the 911. 914 has shown up in my life more than the 911 and when I was finally able to buy a Porsche the 914 was the affordable one (as funny as that sounds). A 77 with a 2.0 motor has caught my eye and I have this strong feeling to rid myself of the teen and plunge into the eleven. Still powered by a teen so that counts for something right? If money was no object, sure own both.
Am I being silly? Does this pull to the 911 and if I am so easy to cast the 914 aside mean the 914 is not my true love? Maybe I need to snap out of it...but that 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |

Maybe I need to snap out of it...but that 911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) A 911 with a 914 2.0 is someone's cheapass solution to a blown 6, & an odd bastard that will have little value in the future - other than to put a proper 6 back in. It's like someone who missed out on the 76 912E & decided to bastardize a 77 911-6 .... I just don't get it. Compared to your 914 - you won't like that 911-4 - as others have said, it's heaver than the 914 so power-to-wt. is lower, & you'll lose the mid-engined balance. Keep your 914 - & if you really are still bugged by the NARP push for a 911, then look for a proper late 911 up to 964 aircooleds, or look for an early Boxster or Cayman which has had the IMS issue addressed as a newer Porsche-WBX6 to drive around.
