It would be easy to afford one of the stock versions of those. There AREN'T any stock versions of those. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) What do the cars in a Nascar race have to do with what's in the showrooms? They are purpose built, space age tube frame race cars. You could skin them into whatever shape you want; they just happen to make them look kinda sorta like Chevs and Fords and Toyotas or whatever. I agree, I screwed up on the Nascar comment. My initial reference was to the 914-6GT that won Lemans in its class back in 1970. Porsche only sold the 914 and 911 at that time and had GT versions of both cars at Lemans. My comment is that it's too bad they don't have a GT version of the Cayman or the Boxster at Lemans. Also sorry for the hijack. My post has nothing to do with a future new version of another 4 banger 914 that might come out. Regardng another six, we already have the Boxster and Cayman even though they are not dry sumped engines. |

It's dead, just like the "new" microbus that's been drifting around the web for a decade or so.

There is no reason for Porsche to go downmarket. That's called Volkswagen. Porsche's premium models generate the industry's strongest profit margins and support a very valuable brand image.

More realistic was the VW BlueSport that VW said was the direct decendant of the 914 and SWORE that it would go into production. Reviews highly acclaimed it. http://www.thetorquereport.com/2009/01/det...t_bluespor.html |
