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.

My advice for you (and for your car enthusiast buddies)....
Get a girlfriend, 1) if she likes 914s, and she can make a lot of money, keep both her and the car. 2) if she likes 914s but clearly you're the bread winner, hopefully she's cute and you can get her in next year's 914 calendar. 3) if she doesn't like 914s - dump her. I hope this helps you get through college. |
