Just spent a long weekend touring with the PCA group and never felt that our cars were look down on. As a matter of fact I got more that my share of compliments. Here I am leading a group. Made them work a little bit to keep up with me in the curves too.

Another mid-engine P car great right behind you...actually two 987's. I'm biased.

Since I sold my 914 I'm still pining for another. I think more people have realized what a great sport touring car each is.

There is always one 914 at the PCA gatherings I attend and usually a crowd around it so I don't see anybody of looking down on them. See more and more 986's in very degrees of condition as well. Always set apart with the 911. If I were to make a choice having drivin many P cars I'd pick a mid engine platform every time. A 987 or a 981 with PASM is the ultimate fun touring sports car................besides the 914 of course!
