I'm one of those Porsche purists, really particular about all the little details. I drive the crap out of my car, but I still make sure it has the correct nuts and bolt, so the concours judges don't give me any lip. I notice a lot of radically modified 914s here, just wanted to get a sense of how everybody feels.

I never understood why people go crazy over matching numbers. Who the -radio edit- cares if thats how the factory assembled it? I come from a long line of car people who consider a mismatched car junk, and I just whole heartidly disagree. If I had a 56 chevy (which I do) with a piece of -radio edit- 283, why shouldnt I strap on the biggest baddest 454 I can afford to the hood? Insteady a purist would have me rebuild the 283, which would cost more money and be much slower, just so some nerd with a flashlight can piss his pants... NOT FOR ME!
Edit: sorry if I offended anyone that values matching numbers and stuff, I didnt mean to start a flame war. |
