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! |

Building up a nice 6 is expensive. I could sell my newly built one for more than my other vehicles. A low power car will teach you proper driving techniques much better than high power car... things like traffic anticipation and using less brakes.
