Hi All,
I am a new member, and have thoroughly enjoyed reading the posts. I am also a new, retread 914 owner. I am having some difficulty with my ownership of the car. I have had the car for about 4 months and love driving the car. It makes the best sounds of any car. The car is very nice and extremely fast for a street car. The car has been set up very well and really deserves to be driven by someone who really is looking for a car that is very nearly a race car. I know that I will not use the car for anything other than joy rides to Stinson Beach on the weekends or to pick up my kid after school on Fridays. I will never use the car for the purpose for which all the modifications were made. Do you think this is OK? I am considering selling/trading the car for a stock 911 or an original 914/6. I guess something more sedate. Any opinions? PS: The attached photo is my favorite view of the car. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Going to a 911 with the same engine is just going to get you the same amount of power in the wrong place (rear engined) and make you look like everyone else (lots of 911s around). Underdriving the car is - well - your perogative as an owner; nothing says you have to race it, and under-driving it will mean you get better reliability, and your car is more likely to last a long time being the fine example that it is. Do try to open it up once in a while though - just to blast the carbon buildup off the valves! Really nice looking car.
