What would you take: a well sorted out 1972 914 1.7L with no rust and everything running perfectly, or a 1976 911S 2.7L with unknown history, but generally good appearance. (Nothing known on the history of the engine.)
I have the opportunity to trade, and am debating if getting into the 911 world is a nightmare waiting to happen. (I don't have thousands and thousands to spend on fixing lots of things up...) Curious to hear people's opinions. |

This is a 914 website, so we might be a little biased. I personally didn’t like my 993 and sold it. It was heavy, bulky and I didn’t like the lift throttle oversteer. My 914 has a 3.2 drivetrain with 916 gearbox, so performance was better than the 993 with 4 speed tiptronic. However I wish I would of also kept the 993 and convert it to a Manuel gearbox. If I had to choose between both cars I would still keep my 914. Now choosing between a four banger 914 and similar condition 911, I would choose the 911. The 911 is worth more money and I don’t like gutless cars. People drive crazy in so cal. If I can’t get to 80mph by the end of the on ramp, I won’t drive it.
