I'd have one if I didn't have to worry about smogging it in CA....perfect design, I like the lightness and potential of the Type IV in a 911 chassis......

There are a few club members that have 912's with Type IV motor in them, one will be a bitch'n turbocharged beast (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

Great car... I have two of them and drive one daily everywhere I go pretty much...

Its the best daily driver that Porsche ever made in my opinion.. Simple, Cheap and will go forever on a tank of gas... The tank is 21 gallons!

I have researcehd the 912E for the past 15 years, if you need to know any odd things about it yell at me..

What about finding an old 911 and putting a 2.0 4 cylinder into it? It won't be a 912E but will be just like one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

it's all about balance.....a good driver in a 912 can beat a good driver in a 911 if both cars are similarly setup suspension wise (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/MDB2.gif)

Two years ago I took my 2056 TIV powered 912E to Roebling Roaad for a Driver's Ed..

I had to give on "pass signal" all weekend..

It's not slow at all and handleas WAY better than the same year 911! It has 150+ lbs less weight hanging off the ass end.
