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.

Joe,

The car should be the same. If the car is up to a true 200 hp motor, it's going to have all the brakes and basic chassis set up ready. The real difference is the spring rates would change.

This is starting to get nonsensical and emotional.

If we really want to start a debate on the motors longevity, etc, then lets talk real facts. I'm not a six expert, but a 911 has 6 main bearings (one for each cyclinder in effect)? A four has three that really support / counter the rod forces. Sixes have a much stronger case design. Sixes are drysumped and have better oiling. Sixes have pistons squirters. Sixes have better head designs, overhead cams, etc.

Again, it's really a personal preference. I understand that Jake has something to prove as it's how he makes his living, but the motors are vastly different.
