Might check your corner balance and alignment. More caster and tow in makes a car more stable.

Also, I would guess the 914 has more even weight distribution with not so light of front end.

Also, the 911 is basically a wing and generates lots of lift. I suspect with the horizontal rear window on a 914 may create some turbulence that brakes up the areo lift some.

Putting about 1 to 1/5" of rake into a 911 by lowering the front and adding spoilers can help a 911.

Just a guess.

Check the engine. It's probably slipped from its correct place near the center of the car to a strange place near the rear. I'm gonna catch he11 for that one . . .

Tire pressure very important. On my 205/55x16 (same size front and rear) 32 front 36 rear. depending on mileage the turbo tie-rod ends will also help.
