Do you think a brand new 197 HP Civic Si can beat a 914 with 3.0 6 conversion? My buddy who doesn't have a preference either way says that the civic will win hands down (he has a VW symbol tattooed on his calf too). Even if the 914-6 has 260 - 280 HP. What do you guys think?

Konrad, please come over and run Crow Mountain. Or comedown and run the time trial at Savannah. My Rice would like to eat some 914s.
Anyway, so the Corrado was an over priced VW. Big deal. I still think it is a bad choice for a sports car, especially one fitting the characteristics of the 914. Dave are you sure the car you rode in was tuned to accommodate the K series engine? The K is lighter than the B series, which only weighs about 25lbs more than a stock D series drive train. |
