I did a little Googling, but didn't come up with much on this topic.

I know you guys like to nickname the 911 as an assdragger, with the engine at the back. What other negatives - and positives, does the 911 (70s model) offer over the 914? Aside from the rear engine and more powerful stock motor. Not for racing/atx, but for street use.

Parts availability, maintenance costs, reliability, etc etc.

Thanks.
