Dino vs.914, whats wrong with people Options

[geniusanthony]

Ok, so i am officially placing my first post (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) and here are my thoughts...Our beloved teeners are in an engineering sense an identical car to the Ferrari Dino. I mean this in the sense that the were both budget minded sports cars of similar size and performance...I am refering to the -6 models for closest similarity. same layout and intended consumer.
That being said I challenge you all to think this over and lend us all your thoughts on this manner and now the $100,000 question, do you suppose that if we painted our cars red, wore funny hats and red members only jackets would our cars be equally desireable????

Having just purchased my first 914 with a Euro 3.2 in it, I could kick any Dino's arse.

That being said, my father owned a '73 Dino, in red, with chairs and flares, Campy wheels, the whole ballawax. If you think there's some great similarity between the two cars, I'm sorry but you really haven't spent any time driving a Dino.

First off, the 914 is classic German -- form follows function. No frills.

The Dino is classic Italian -- S-E-X.

Sure, a well-tuned 914 will hammer a Dino on the track. But that was never the purpose of the Dino. The Dino's all about long Sunday drives down PCH with the top off.

And in So Cal, when you turn every female head? You know you're driving something special. And sorry to say that will never happen in my 914.
