I've been taking some heat from a few (non-Porschephiles) that are really down on the T4 engine (the 1.8 I am looking at specifically).
How similar are these engines (power, accel. wise) compared to the VW H4 engines used in the super beetle? I try to explain that the T4 and the earlier VW engines are quite DISSIMILAR in many ways. I still get the "its a bug motor?!" question. Could somebody help me put this to rest and post what you know/your experiences with the power/driveability of the 914s T4 engine? Differences between the 914s T4 and the MANY other types of VW H4 engines? |

hmmm... maybe i can learn to drive my tired old 1.7 fast, and maybe not slow traffic down.
btw, SirAndy, your "kewl" spoiler has attracted some serious interest up here in the rainy country. anytime you want to give details on how you did it, with pictures?, there will be notes taken. |
