I have a 1983 911SC that is a RS light conversion. Custom front/rear bumpers with a ducktail, PMO carb's with SSI headers and sport muffler. I love the car. Also have a 1975 914GT clone with a 3.0 and Weber carb's and sport muffler. Love the car. They are two totally different animals but coexist just fine in the same garage. I am not a 911 snob I have owned a 944S also and loved that car to. Don't paint with a broad brush not all 911 owners are a-holes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)



That's frikken awesome !!! Best of both worlds right there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Don't suppose you have any pix of them in your stable do ya ???

My 82 SC is Zinc Silver as I have the L13M yellow for the teener and was
considering painting it Zinc to match them sitting "side by each" in my stable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Call me crazy but I would love to do up an early 911RS clone using a 1969 912 with a monster type 4 motor and IDA TBs with EFI ........... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

BWTM: In Clone vs. Clone vs. Clone, I'd pick this clone, an IROC - a '75 Carrera upgraded with an '86 Carrera's 3.2L and all the trimmin's & fixin's - a siren by the sea for sure ...ACHTUNG !
Reminds me of Moby and the Warhorse Gang

It was a hard choice as they are both very nice. I went with the 914 as with a 3.0l and everything the 911 has it would be one of the faster cars out there.... and faster than the 911.

They are both clones so I had to stick with what I love. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

I like both, but voted for the 911.

They're two different animals. One's like a wife and the other is like a girl friend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

There's plenty of 914 guys that own 911s ... we're not all snobs and assholes.

Try the same poll in a 911 forum.....Do what you want, not what everyone thinks you should do.

Or give me the 911 and buy another 914

That's not fair as you wouldn't be able to read the decals on the side
when the car would be "in use" . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

it's kinda apples-n-oranges.

The equivalent of a 914-6GT is a 911 RSR, not RS.

I'd rather have the RSR, but I'd take the GT over an RS.

It is TOTALLY apples and oranges.

This is dumb.
Like was said.... Ask the same question in a 914 forum, or a 911 forum. Don't expect the same answer. Duh.

And to the point of sir Cap'n.... The graphics the race teams put on the side of their cars is hardly equivalent to tacky add on stickers people paste on the side of their non race cars.

Race sponsors != tacky imitation graffiti. Somebody pays you for the sponsorship, then choose to put it on because the pay was equitable.

You choose to put it on because you think it looks cool = poser.

The Carrera Stripe is Hardly a Tacky Add-on, it was on every 73-75 Carrera Road Car

Ferg help me out!

You'll all hate me here, but if you're going to destroy the originalty of a car do it with a 911. There are far more of them available. Do this to a 914 and you just increase the value of bone stock 914's. Not that I care, since mine will always be bone stock.

Please do not destroy stock 914/6's.

Yeah, sounds like a message from PETA.
