What are 914s Capable of, performance wise Options

[yahthatsright]

As a 21 year old college student most of my peers have a hard time understanding why I think my 85 hp 30 yr old car is so fun. Usually I get the question, “Okay, It seems like you can make a lot of upgrades to this car, If you did that how fast would it be” I usually answer with a stutter, uh uh I dunno. So, with a 200 hp six and moderately stiff suspension, what kind of numbers do you guys have? It would be very interesting to see some braking stats, 0-60, some form of slalom, anything. I’m also wondering if the guys out there with 300 to 400hp or getting that much more for performance.

Ok, college boy. What's your major. Mine's mechanical engineering. You show me three ricers that can actually modify their cars. And how many mustangs can beat you through a corner? The advantage of the 914 ISN'T numbers... It's the feeling of the tires making good contact. It's the smell of gasoline in the cockpit when you've got the top off. It's that feeling where the car and you and the road are all melted together- to the point where you can't feel anything as an individual (if you have never felt this before, then you should go on a road trip.) It's a feeling of accomlishment after you do something and can actually tell the difference. Go adjust your front end ride height and come back.

Sorry if I seem too serious. But you just tell all your friends; FOR GODSAKE! IT'S A PORSCHE!
