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! |

The -6 weighs in at 100 pounds more than a stock -4. It's kinda like having a 100 pound passenger in the passenger seat.
In my case my -6 weighs in at 1609 pounds which is only comparable to one -4. He has a 2600 cc -4 by Jake Raby. I believe that one of the sanctioning body's say a -4 should weighs in at 2243 pounds and a -6 is over 2300, but I am not sure how much. You can't tell anything from the numbers because it the state of tune that makes the car go. It all depends on how much money you got. And now a plug for my build thread. It's in the Paddock under AR-14... |
