If you have a 3.2 L Build would you still drive a 2 L or 1.7 L car in the garage? Options

[Tdskip]

Asking for a friend, this is a kind of ridiculous question given what’s going on in the world ....

Let’s imagine that this person had a civilized 3.2 L build, good manners and not high strong or overly jittery. Let us further imagine that this person also had a similarly civilized to your car and 1.7 L car, and just to make this a bit more apples to apples that those were also decent street cars that had good manners and we’re not overly tuned or jittery. Basically let’s assume that all three have stock interiors and shift decently and compliance suspensions etc. last assumption is that they all have a similar body condition so basically removing the variables except engine.

I know that a couple people here have multiple cars so there may be some first-hand experience with this question, but yes, trying to figure out if my 1973 1.7l and/or 2.0L car will end up sitting idle once the 3.2L is up and running.

Thanks in advance for the thoughts and hope everybody had a good week .

The joy of the 914 is the interaction with the car. A /4 and a /6 deliver that joy equally but in different ways.

For whatever reason, the 914 resonates more than a 924, 944, even a Boxster. Haven't driven a 912, but the 911 to me wasn't nearly what rodded 914/6 delivers with the same motor. The 993 was different.

For 50 years and still going, 914s have delivered on the imaginations of dreamers, and have met people economically where they are.

In no better sense, the 914 has been the people's Porsche - which is what it's all about.

I can't speak to a /4 vs /6 - I have both currently, and appreciate both very much. I know this for me, the 914 has always been special.

I was a 6 yo when my Dad bought my /4 secondhand. I am seeking that pleasure again even though 0-60 will give me time to dream of /6.

My dream stable will always be Dad's car in its finest form, and a road hardened /6 that only delivers a smile to the person holding the steering wheel.

I hope that answers nothing.
