QUOTE(mepstein @ Feb 13 2019, 08:27 PM)  Maybe but the replicas ride like crap. I would trade it all for a real 904. Nothing was ever prettier. A buddy has one "mit 6". What a bark she has. A little small on me but I could still stare at it for a week non-stop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) |

QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Feb 12 2019, 02:20 PM) Having owned all 3 versions of the 914 (/4, factory /6, modified /6), I have to say that the /4, when properly setup, is way faster and better handling than a factory /6. Porsche could have done a better job with the /6, as shown by the LeMans winning 914/6 GT. But it would mean that the 911 would lose face, and no one at Porsche wanted that. Buy a factory six for the historical value. It is fun to drive, and is a conversation piece. But don't expect it to be a 911 killer in bone stock form. It was never meant to be one. Buy a /4 and hot rod the hell out of it to YOUR tastes. They are still cheap enough to customize any way you want. Do like I am doing and put in a motor that will let you tear up Corvettes. Or put in a 2056 /4 and go out and tear up corners with it. Or put in a Subaru and get a more reliable driver. Or put in an electric motor. Or put in a Mercedes 240d motor, and become a hypermiler. Or just sit in it and make vroom vroom noises. But do what makes YOU happy. But ignore the ignorant writers out there. They have probably never driven a 914, but they are 'serious journalists" who think their opinion matters more than the people who really know and love the 914. That is my $.02. Getting off my soap box and returning you to your regularly scheduled mayhem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
