Thanks Racer. I had a '74 914 2.0 that was stock; handled great, but was not "fast" by my standards. Progressed to a '72 E coupe that I rebuilt to RS+ specs--that car was "fast" and still felt light and nimble. My '86 3.2 Carerra was not as lithe, only had 200hp, and even though it had a/c, was ineffective as a daily driver here in DC in the summer.

I have considered looking for a faux 914-6 or track 911 and trying to re-streetify it, but the $ numbers don't make any sense and I still don't have a car that I can jump in in July and drive w/ a suit and tie on.

I am prepared for some trade-offs but am trying to mitigate them by only looking at 2009-2012 S cars, and by EVOsit flashing and IPD plenum modifying it with perhaps a sport exhaust (SoulPerformance?), too, for > 100hp/liter and a better hp/weight ratio.

But who knows, in a few years, I may decide I'd rather sweat and grin, than coolly yawn.
