Hi guys, still pretty new to 914's and still haven't found one ... but I'm currently looking at one model that I like and I'm ready to make an offer for it... tho I have a dilemma which I hope you guys can help me solve (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
A few weeks back I test drove a 2.0 and I remember it being pretty nippy on 1st, 2nd and up to speed ... today I test drove this 1.7 that I like, was cold and didn't want to abuse it , but I felt like the car was less powerful, which makes total sense being just a 1.7 but long story short, how much am I gonna miss those 20 hp difference ? Not planning on going racing or anything like that but just curious to hear your opinion and thoughts about this difference Thank you PS It's a 1973 914 with two webber carbs and a modified ( louder ) muffler exhaust system |

Will echo others that you should get the best car you can find, but I will also add that you should also get what you want engine-wise (1.7 vs 2.0). Upgrading later won't be cheap and prices are usually similar for both, all other things being equal.
