Thanks for the ride Allan., First time in the passenger seat of a 914 Options

[tracks914]

I've had my car for 5 years now but have never sat in the passenger seat of it or any 914.
This week I had the pleasure of meeting a fellow 914World member when I was in Toronto.(ajracer) He took me for a ride in his 300HP+ V8 914. I won't post how fast he brought me (in case this site is being monitored) but let me say it was faster than my 1.7 will ever go, and he got us there in about 6 seconds. He then showed me how fast it would brake. I was impressed. Now the best part!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Then he pulled over and said now you can drive it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) It will take me another week to get the smile off my face. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) With 300 ponies and a beautifully shifting Boxster tranny in it, it's the way all 914's should feel and drive. Most of the driving was on the 404 north and around town so I don't know how it would handle in the twisties but he tells me it does good and I believe him. He can't wait to get the engine properly set up and dialed in for even more ponies but when he does, I'll go for another ride with him.
We then talked cars for a few more hours before I had to go, but I can't wait to hook up with him again just to talk cars.
Thanks Allan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
