I have owned 4 914s, 3 of them original 914-6s. I have also owned 6 911's from early to my last, a 997.2 C4S 6 speed coupe. I will hands down take the 914-6 over the 911 every time. Once you drive a well sorted 914-6 with any 6 cylinder engine in it, you will be sold. It is really like driving an adult go kart. Yes, I still love 911's- buy my 1st choice is the 914-6.
