Maybe this has been posted before in the past, but as I was fantisizing things I would probably never get to see or experience, in a head to head road course event, which one would take the checkered flag? Cars pecs seem pretty close.
916 - 2.4ltr, 190 hp, 159. ft. lbs@5200, wgt - 2000 lbs 1972 Dino, 195 hp, 167 ft. lbs@7600, wgt- 2381 lbs BTW I absolutely love both (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Hemmings Sports and Exotics (April 2008) did a comparison of the 914/6 and the Dino. Here are the specs for the stock 914/6 vs. the Dino. The 916 with the 2.4S 190HP and top speed of 145mph, would most likely beat all the Dino's except in the top speed area. I love the look of the Dino but agree with Hemmings that easily the 914/6 is the choice based on repair costs. I like to drive my cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
