Back in my bachelor days I washed my 914 in the driveway, and the neighborhood kids would ride up on bikes and chat. The one question was always "how fast will it go" or how fast have you gone it in?

I would let them sit in it if they were not all dirty and they all were impressed with a speedometer that went to 150 as I remember. I sold it 26 years ago so I really don't remember to top number on the speedo.

In a neighborhood of mostly boring cars, pickups, and vans a sports car was something fun for the kids.
