So I saw one of the best looking and built up 356's today.....and I went to the last Rennsport and watched 911's and 914's race each other....so my question is this....which model handles the best? I have been in a 356 that had 250 hp and all my friends have 914's with at least that....911's have even more. The 356 today looked so good that I said to myself..."Wow...what could possibly out handle that car?". Just a fun question for a Saturday night....
All the best, gg |

For some reference:
My 79 928 was an eye opener in how front engine cars can handle. The 89 944TS was even better. For mid engine, the Lotus Esprit V8 twin turbo was The Worst handling car! Chassis is a flexible flyer. Drove it once and promptly sold it. Early short wheelbase 911/912 feel very "alive". Stock steering wheels are too big. Later long hoods less alive. 964 C4 was pretty cool but felt heavy and the steering somewhat dead. 914s were cool but seriously lacked power in 1.7 trim. Looking forward to finally driving my Euro 3.0 six version. As has been said before, everyone has a different perspective, which was obvious to me in setting up race cars. |
