I have a 914-6 with a 3.0 in it and a SC with a similar 3.0 in it. Very different cars. the 911 is my luxury cruiser. Its quieter slower more comfortable and does not come close to handling as well as the teener. If I'm going for a quick blast through the twisty I always take the teener. It keeps up fine with the locals around here with modern Porsche stuff caymans boxters 911 etc. If I took the SC I would be with the group until the first straight and I would never see them again. 2200Lbs and 240 HP are a good recipe for fun and I'm sure a 911 with a similar power to wieght ratio would feel equally zippy. Also I just have never trusted the 911 as much in the corners as the teener. That might be because I have more track time in the teener.
As far as value low production numbers are key if you are going to have a chance and the 914-6 is rare
As far as cool factor, not once have my two boys asked to go for a ride in the 911 when it comes out, but bring out the teener and they drop everything to go so for the little boy car test teener wins hands down.
I have a lot of seat time in both. I daily drove the teener from 1991- 1997 and added 60 miles to that cars clock. I then add the SC as a practical DD and drove that for ~60k miles from 98-2006 ish while I restored and converted the teener to a flared 6
I guess it depends on your mission. Twisties rocket ship I would go teener. Fun sports car with some creature comforts and refinement for longer trips 911
