::edit::

a bit difficult to explain; this particular 914 always had a 'dangerous' limit. The engine and throttle response will take the blame for this one. I never really gave up on this turn even once the car had rotated (didn't slam the brakes). Although the engine had much more power over stock, i could never get reliable, smooth acceleration/power delivery.
