I currently have a 914 (actually 4) but am considering the purchase of an 80 911SC. I was shocked to find out how much my insurance rates would go up. That is something to consider. My 914 is by far MUCH slower than the 911 but the gas mileage is much better. I think if you are going to do drivers ed events the 914 would be a great first car...it is very forgiving but fast enough to have fun but not too fast that you can get yourself in too much trouble. I am debating dropping 12 grand on the 911 or doing the stuff I wanted to do to my main 914... doing the interior and getting a set of slicks and wheels. I think the 911 cannot be beat when it comes to "class" and distinction... but if you pull up the thread on what the 914 pelicanheads do for a living....you will see a very diverse group of professionals that realize a great car when they see it.
