And the 914 is still more of a budget minded vehicle than the 911... If budgets play such a key role why are people going out of their way to make the car a"mid-engined 911"? Use 911 brakes, 911 suspension and a 911 engine and what the car was developed to be is history... Not that those are bad things, it's just part of an argument about what the car was and what it is today.
There were times when the 914 made up a smaller portion of our net sales every year, primarily due to costs related to producing things at our level. This is no longer true and since 2007 their has been a huge difference in the percentages of our sales that are 914 specific. For many years VW converts were nabbing up 914 engines for their cars and while they still do this on a large scale the percentages have changed regarding where our engines are being applied. Yes it's a reality that someone can spend 10k on a 4 cylinder performance engine for their 914 but atleast it'll make 150-175hp... How about a bone stock 356 engine that starts at 10k and might make 85 hp on a good day costing 15k?? Most of those who I've sold these engines to don't post here... They are readers and lurkers, but they want the car a certain way and that's what we deliver, no matter the cost.. If me and my team are going to exert 100 hours of our lives into a single engine, not to mention the incurred cost of developing that engines components and combination we will be compensated monetarily.. My schedule is booked through July of 2011 so people obviously feel that what we offer is worth the price and worth the wait. It's not for everyone, I wouldn't like doing it if it was.
