I'm a 911 owner... got 2 old ones. Hey, my first Porsche was a 76 914. It was great fun, just not really fast. I drove a friend's modified 914-6 at a local SCCA auto-x a couple of weeks back. When the smoke had cleared, I had steered his car to 2nd fast time of the day (on both days) a couple of tenths back. Over 100 people each day. Not bragging... I was just way impressed about the handling and power delivery of his car... I don't remember my 76 being quite as fast. I definitely want to park a couple of 914's in my garage next to the 911's. One stock 914-6, and another really modified autocrosser. I don't have much issue about the VW roots. Heck, I had 3 of them (beetles) in highschool and college. I think 914's are like Bobby Knight... you either love 'em or you hate 'em... not much in between. I really liked the removable top that stores in the rear trunk and the midengine layout.
Anyway, here's one 911 owner that likes them 914's.
