Very cool footage, thanks for sharing. Sounds really nice even though he's not really pushing things too hard - looks like the roads had just been closed ahead of a rally stage (not after - all the straw bales are intact!).
Some amusing 914 shifting moments captured for posterity! - Tony |

I have the same shifter with my 916 trans. If you pause the video you can see the shift pattern on the shift knob. I read somewhere that it was a special 260hp drive train that Porsche built to offset the additional weight of the water and fire extinguisher equipment. |
