I did... yesterday after meeting an old high school buddy for a game of golf. He was always into cars. Mostly for drag. I took him on some twisties & noticed his white knuckles holdin on & a smile ta boot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Then I pulled over & said "ya wanna drive?" It didn't take long before he got the feel of the car & actually got into drift'n a few corners. All he could say when it was all over was "corner'n 'lil bitch ain't she?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Now he's thinkin' about the V8 conversions. He wants to put his 340 horse 327 in one. bruce |

I sent him some links to conversion sites this morning. I think he will begin to study the aspects of 914 conversions for awhile until it excites him to the point of NEEDING one. That's how he usually runs his life. I planted the seed, now I just need to keep adding fertilizer & water thoroughly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I don't think it will happen this year though. Thanks Craig......

Way to go, Bruce. Don't get too carried away, though, don't want too much competition out there when we're shopping for newacquisitions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) !

I believe Thom (dakotaewing) is building a teener based around a "real" Z28 V8.

I would pay money to see a 914 with a Z06 engine pull up to a Corvette and rev its engine. The look on the Corvette drivers face would be worth it weight in gold
