6 vs 4 Options

[914fan]

How do a 200hp 6 and a 200hp 4 drive compared to eachother. I know there are several ways to get 200hp out or either. I am interested in a daily driver 200hp 6 or 4. Does anybody have any dyno charts of these? Is the 6 more peaky? is the 4 more torquE? Type IV and Porsche 6 please.


I am not trying to start a flame war. I am just looking for information cause I found an empty spot in my brain, and I need to fill it before something else goes in there.

The topic of this thread is 6vs4 right.

I liked the 200hp - 4 over the 200 hp 3.0 - 6 "BUT"

Without getting into price or cost which wasn't part of the original topic, here is what I have done over the years.

Ive had both in search of the 914 car of my dreams
I had a 2.9 type 4 built for my first 914 it was very fun torquey as hell and blew up on an overrev when the tires spun after hitting some sand on the road during takeoff- 5000 miles of short lived fun but it wasn't my dream car.

Ive had a stock 3.0 sc 6 which was ok, but nothing to exciting, not the dream car.

Then a 8lb boosted turbocharged 3.0 which was more exciting than you could imagine, almost dream car.

Now I am almost ready to try out the new and improved 3.12 engine boosting 1bar
that has me actually worried on how scary it maybe until I get used to it.
Some guys get horsepower happy and go to extreme limits I think that now that my engine will be producing over 400hp, I hope I am done creating my 914 dream car and it had to have a monster six in it.
