Thread: Changing thoughts on 914's

  1. #21
    914 requires a different mind set to appreciate than a 911. A well done or original 911 has more a bank vault tightness in build quality and feel. The 914 just doesn't have that going for it. Hard to look at a well turned out 2.2 T and a 914/6 at the same price not choosing the T to drive off in. 914's appear cheaply built and putting a flat six in one doesn't change that. It also doesn't make a great 914/6 worth what a great T is worth.

    That said, I'm with Frank. A two liter 914 is an excellent way to spend $15-25k. The build quality and cheapness is just about right and the fun per $ factor is very high.

    I had a Dark Green 914-6 with a 2.2S engine like the top picture but with light gas burner wheels. As a targa it would never feel tight like a coupe. But on mountain roads it was awesome. I would take a 914-6 like the lower cars over a 911 any day even though I really like 911's. The flairs take away the slab sided look and give the cars some great curves.

    I have always been fascinated with the 916 concept- Welded top increasing the overall torsional rigidity.
