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! |

Thanks for all of the replies!
I have the opportunity to drive friend's '70 and '73 4 cyl cars to determine how the stock power and pretty much stock steering and suspension feel suit me. I will definitely do that and this should shed some light. I'd imagine I'll either be hooked by the bug or may look elsewhere. I already have a mind numbingly fast H2O cooled P car. The 914 idea would be to get back to an old school feel and experience something that is exciting at 80 mph or on a tight twisty. My car pulls like nothing I've ever experienced but I think is missing some of the soul of being on the edge at lower speeds. I appreciate the input so far! |
