What “really” makes you a 914 guy? Options

[raynekat]

My 1st Porsche was a 1976 orange 2.0 liter that I drove across the Atchafalaya basin freeway in Louisiana at 120 mph before my buddy got pulled over from a police chopper. Hehe. Took her to a couple of Porsche Parades. Autocrossed the heck out of her. Unfortunately, that car was a nightmare rust wise and bit the dust, but was my entry into the Porsche world.

I’ve had a few 911’s but ventured back into the 914 world with my 71 914 project that I shared here on 914 World. Spent way too much money on the car (way past 6 figures) but loved every second of it.


Still visit this forum all the time and watch the 914’s for sale on BaT religiously along with other websites.

Am I a “914 guy?”
Love you all….

I grew up with a 914 as the family car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)... We had alot of muscle cars around, but I always really liked the 914-6 and 916 (as a dream car). In high school I got my current 914 with a 2.0, it was a blast to drive. I drove my uncles 2.5 carbed 911 and couldn't believe the instant power, feels faster than it actually was (it was fast but it felt insanely fast thanks to the carb setup). Finally once I made enough money I put a 3.0 six in my 914. Nothing else like it. Had a few muscle cars, but the 914-6 was the next level, just really love the lightweight car with mid engine, also think they look great. Then started getting into autocross and track, 914 is great in Ca because its smog exempt.
