There is an amazing difference between a 914 top on and a 916 welded top.
When I picked up the 916 in Jacksonville and drove it back in circa 1991, the very first thing I noticed was when going over rail road tracks I can only describe it as the car would go bump only once where as every other 914 I had ever driven (and I have driven thousands) would go bump bump. The car is much more precise and stable like everything is working together rather than having a front half and a rear half. Quite sensational as the car feels like a 914 with its act together. An absolute pleasure to drive at high speeds and around corners. That car Brutus, with the 2.9 is CRAZY. Both fast and precise, when driving makes one reminisce about what could have been Does anybody anywhere know where to find the torsional rigidity of the 914 with the roof off vs. roof on vs. steel roof (916) ? Thanks in advance. |
