I finally scored 3 light green ones...now I have to keep checking to find dark green and yellow....but the yellow ones seem to go faster. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I hope some one has a Hot Wheels dragstrip track so we can finally get a scientific answer on which color 914 is faster! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

We need to settle this once and for all - and it needs to be videotaped and put up on YouTube for future reference! Sorry T. C. I don't know any other way... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Perhaps you could invite owners of "painted" versions to send you a sample of their cars just to validate the process and cover all bases. Of course you should be able to keep those models for your time and trouble!

Make sure you weigh them all - we don't want any lead sleds - whcih in a gravity race - heavy is better!! Not that anyone would do that of course!

I've got a bunch of painted ones, but I don't know if the bigger wheels have a higher drag coefficient

And will my cut-off roof Ginther style car do well?

The way I see it - you have the most diverse collection - so you are perfect for this task!

Ok how many colors are really out there? Not counting the ones that people painted to match their cars. I have only managed to find both light and dark green (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) My family thinks I am both crazy and an addict. Obviously they are mistaken. At least thats what the voices are telling me

Hi Andy,

That is a topic of debate.

I know of:
1. Light Green
2. Light Green - slightly darker (might really be the same released color just a different run)
3. Dark Green
4. Mustard Yellow

I think it is 3 colors with the light green having a different variation

I will go on record that I think it is real. I mean - who would go to the trouble to re-paint one Mustard Yellow? What's next Poop Brown (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) ? Oh sorry - just saw your signature... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

I think he said he switched the VW out and put it in the 5 pack and returned the 5 pack.

But we have had our leg pulled before!!

Went 914 hunting tonight and found myself a yellow one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) There was another one as well, but it also came in the $10 pack. So i bought another car to fit in the missing slot and returned the $10 pack. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) packaged as a VW Golf??? Something is up here...."won't get fooled again" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Me thinks the Golf went back in the ten pack and returned.....


That's what i did, i wasn't gonna pay $10 for just 1 car. Here's a picture of the 914 in the $10 pack:

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) hmmmmm there is a bit of proof. However noone else has produced one. I did my rounds today to the typical big name stores and only saw the dark green one so I am still on the fence about the yellow one.

Good catch T.C. - I forgot about that one and it should be counted as a "factory" color. I have 3 of them...
