I guess it depends on a few major things. Are you ONLY going to use Porsche parts? If so I cannot comment too much on price comparasion. I would say the 914 is still cheeper, but I don't know for sure.

The great part about my 914, built for fun, is that most of the parts on it are no longer even Porsche. For example, a 2.2L Turbo Chrysler engine, BMW brakes. CV Joints from an escort (Don't ask...).

So when I need to make a repair, I usally find the best upgrade for that item (normaly not a 914 product) and install that. I get lots of discounts using off the wall items. I'm looking at putting springs from a Ford Ranger in the rear.

Anyway, my thoughts are 914s are one of the cheepest cars to own. But not the cheepest to build a concourse car.
