Poor little bastards
Never had a chance. Driver saftey in a 550
Non existent ...914 not much better i assume

Now a days the car would be trailered. To willow but back then they drove it up flat out and tuned and fiddled with the car as they went (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

914 is MUCH better actually, so long as you are wearing your seat belt. The 914s have that big roll bar built into the wings. The 550 had nothing to protect the driver if it went shiny side down.
