a 914-6 with a 2.7RS engine and a welded-in-place steel
roof that corrected
the flexy-flyer characteristics of the 914. The 914, in turn, is much more
I'd love to say something nice about the 924, but
I'm having some problems.
How about "The 924S goes faster than a 944?" ;-)
The 924 in metallic copper is one of the prettiest cars ever. Way too tame
and pesky in stock trim though.
My 944T was one of the most fun cars I have ever driven (second place to my
63 Alfa Romeo, back when I fit in one).
A dentist around the Orange county area has a 914/6 with a twin turbo chevy
350 V8 and a full race suspension. No license, but he takes it out on the
freeway some nights and nothing has caught him yet. Better wear your rubber
pants if you are riding shootgun when he takes a cloverleaf in a hurry.
What I liked about our 74 914 2.0L was that it was a fun car, a convertible
when you wanted it to be, and could go about 650 miles on a full tank of
gas.
