Why 914's are not faster than 911's
The Porsche 914 is considerably lighter than a 911. Their wheel base is both longer and wider than that of a 911. The 914 rear suspension is coil-over. Its engine is just in front of the rear axle. It is considerably lower than a 911. It has two trunks, one of which is roomier than the 911 trunk. Of course, this does not make it go faster but hey, it's got two trunks. The only thing it seems to be missing is the back seats we never use.
So, why wouldn't a six-cylinder 914 smoke a 911 at the track?
