I see 1.7L spec's all over the place, several list 80HP but some say 69 saw one stating 86 what gives ? All say Top End is 110mph but I just had my 1.7L at 110 and had some pedal left ?

When I need to know how fast I'm going, I use a GPS speedo app on my phone. The speedo in my car is very optimistic, and it gets more optimistic the faster the car goes. Zach |

I run with lots of other 914's that think they're going 85-90 but they're usually off at least 7-8 mph. My speedo is GPS driven so tire changes don't effect it. It's pretty dicey driving a van over 95 and to push a van 105 is going to take some HP. Most American cars, new, are intentionally set to read 3-4mph faster than they are really going. The police cars had calibrated speedos. Enjoy the 1.7. They're great engines and last a long time. |
