My 914 will be finished soon. It will be a 2056, with a mild cam and headers but will maintain stock FI. I also have the pleasure of owning an driving for the past six months a 135K mile stock 78 911SC 3.0. My question is which car will be quicker? Is the 914's relatively lower weight enough to overcome it's lower HP? Will I finish this pricey mechanical rehab on the 914 only to lust for more power?

FWIW, a stock SC weighs around 2600 lbs. and most 914s weigh more than 2000lbs. The SC will still be a lot faster than a 914/2056 with 100-110hp. 2600/180hp = 14.4lb/hp 2100/110hp = 19.1lb/hp Still, I find my 914 more fun than my SC on a twisty back road or AX course. It feels more tossable and is a lot easier to drive near the limit. The SC is a better cruiser, more comfortable, and puts a nice smile on your face when put you smash the accelerator. |
