Yes the 914 is no brawny super car and made me realize that if you don't have a place to really drive it crazy testing its limits you will not be impressed. The car is all about momentum in the turns and keeping the speeds up by never slowing down, yes that's right, no brakes needed when hauling ass in the twistys because the car holds its drift so good it does the braking for you. I have entered turns while thinking "I cant believe Im going to do this "but it slides so nice and predictable you want to do it again and again.. It will make a real driver out of you. The confidence levels are among the highest ever for me in a 914. If you crash a 914 on a bend you were not meant to drive cars fast and need to give it up.
