I have never owned a 914. Starting to kick around the idea of getting one.
Wondering what kind of weight difference is there between say a 2.0 four cylinder car versus a modified car sporting a 911 six cylinder motor? What kind of power can a hopped up four banger put out? Thanks! |

I have a high power /6 and have had/driven lots of /4's, I love them all.
Personally I wouldn't build a /6 today because of cost. I also wouldn't recommend buying a high power /6 as your first 914, as you can get into trouble PDQ, I recommend a lot of seat time in a /4 before you go with a /6. My "seat time" experience has saved my ass (and the car) twice since getting my /6 built. Also these cars are tiny, I prefer the bright jelly bean colours, just because they're easier to see and be seen. |
