I have never owned a 914. Starting to kick around the idea of getting one.
Wondering what kind of weight difference is there between say a 2.0 four cylinder car versus a modified car sporting a 911 six cylinder motor? What kind of power can a hopped up four banger put out? Thanks! |

If your looking for raw acceleration, you're looking in the wrong place. Almost any modern EV is faster 0-60 than a 914. 914's are all about light weight and handling. There are very few modern cars that have the light weight, nibble feel, and direct road feel (both steering and brakes) that a 914 offers. Drive one 1st before getting lost in a numbers game.
