The only diff between the 914s and the 914/6s were the engine, bolt pattern and the VIN#.....same trans(gearing was a bit diff), suspension and electrics. The brakes were a "bit" beefier but nothing that a better optioned car would have had in any other brand.

What gave the 914 the Not a Real Porsche (NARP) label was the VW-Porsche was sold in the VW dealers in Europe. Here in the US it was sold along side the Porsche and Audis of the day.

Remember the unholy Porsche+Audi dealer linkup?
