So it certainly appears if one uses BAT as a reference point that weapons grade 914/6 builds have been fully excepted as “worthy” the Porsche market.
Nearly all of those builds, however, have been high dollar endeavors, and while highly impressive machines many of them seem a bit compromised for actual road use or touring. Any thoughts on where 3.0 and 3.2 L builds that are not taken to the max now trade? |

I have looked the other way on this thread long enough, hoping its terminology would go away, but it seems to be proliferating the longer this thread lingers. "Weapons grade" is not cute, not flattering - it can be offensive to some. It stigmatizes and mischaracterizes our cars.
References to "weapons grade" and "914" in the same sentence are spreading the wrong message about our cars. Can we just forget this term please? Lets agree to not glorify violence. Pick a more respectful term. 914s are not weapons. With all the recent press about mass shootings and related mayhem, lets not associate our cars with violence. |

Hi Jeff, I borrowed that phrase from Keith Martin at SCM |
