Default V8 powered 914 :-)))))

This thing is $14k, has 440+ horsepower and i would guess that it weighs about 2350lbs.....it has cross drilled brembo 4 caliper brakes up front too.

This is more my style than those whimpy S2000's (joking...don't take offense)

it is pretty hard to be super picky when dealing with a 25 year old car that only 100-200 people slapped V8's into.

I was wrong...it ***only*** has 418hp....but the 350lb ft of torque should make up for that.

I am hoping like hell this car is everything he says.... will report back later.

<<<I have a 76 914 with a Chev 302 I'd like to sell, The 302 was built
especially for this application, the engine speced out at 418 hp at 7000 RPM
and 350 ft/lbs at 6000. Forged pistons and rods, SR torquer heads weland
Stealth manifold with a 650 double pumper, cam was custom ground and is a
lot like the old Duntov 30/30 with more split overlap, all rotating mass was
dynamically balanced to .1 gram. MSD dist. and 6AL, Renegade Headers, 150
amp alternator It's a Simpson conversion with fluidyne radiator,only time
temp has been over 200 was on the dyno, al flywheel largest clutch & PP, 901
transaxle, 7&8 16"polished fuchs, 4 piston Brembo Monoblock with brembo
drilled rotors front brakes 19mm MC SC front suspension with swaybar. Car
can be seen in the files section under Pats 914. The color is a pearl Viper
yellow. The asking price is 14.5K If interested email me. Thanks Pat>>>>>

I hate those big ugly rubber baby buggy bumpers that Porsche stuck on the 75 & 76's. The good thing is they can be replaced.
Funny how he flared the rear and not the front or is that a drag car thing? Are the flares glass or steel??

I bet it has a hell of a front/rear balance. Did you ever try to shoot an arrow backwards?

ahahaha.. i don't think it is a drag car... i think the fronts are 7" and somehow they fit, but the backs are 8" and apparently didn't fit.? drag racing in a 914.....although it should run in the low 12's......

You aren't seriously considering this are you? Have you totally taken leave of your senses? You belong in an S2K. Now, stop this nonsense before it gets out of hand. Repeat after me. " Tomorrow, first thing, I will go and buy another S2K, this time a white one". Keep repeating this until tomorrow, then go do it.

Scot, I believe I speak for most people here when I say:

PICK A CAR ALREADY!
