IMHO, you might learn more ' on being a better driver' with a 914 in the /4 config than with a /6 with mucho power.

As my instructor told me at my last DE, 914/4's are momentum cars. You will learn how to carry all that speed in the corners as you will need every mph at the exit to keep up with the 'big boys'. The learning curve is faster in an 'low hp' car.

A guy from my part of the woods does vintage racing with a bone stock 2.0L. Another 914 driver took his car on the same track and did 4 seconds better with it. He told me that this was good news, and that he wouldn't change anything to the car before he could drive it to that 4 seconds faster.

A 3.2 powered 914 should be a big grin factor (heck my 3.0L webered 914 is one) and the available power on demand is fun to have, but i'm betting that I would already learned to carryway much more speed in the turns than i'm doing now if i was running the original 1.7 that was in there.
