You know what? it was fast. It handled great once I got the suspension dialed in, better than a stock 914 ever did.
It was also reliable.
I say go drive the darned thing and make up your own mind. Don't listen to guesses or hunches.
5 minutes and 5 corners and you should know whether that car is right for you or not.

I would build and drive a V-8 914 in a heartbeat. We used to have one up here that was a regular at our DE's. Damn fast little car; well sorted with great brakes and good handling. The difference, though, is all that weight was added to the middle of the car.
