Since I sold my driver, and it will be awhile before I finish my other 914, I kind of miss it. I drove my 356 yesterday, but there is nothing quite like a 914. Sitting basically on the floor, inches from the road is an experience that is hard to duplicate.

Missing a 914 in NY....

Hello all on this thread....so what is the difference in driving a 356 and a 914? I know driving a 911 is like sitting on a bar stool but I would think driving a 356 would be pretty much fun. We definitely need a support group for the 914 obsession....when it comes down to 914 parts or food guess what I buy? I have at least 100 parts I have yet to install yet (mostly from you George) and I have lost over 30 pounds lately....figure it makes my car go faster and handle better....is there really a choice? Hope I get it running soon....electrical glitch is causing me much stress...I will prevail!!

914 is faster, more agile, and tighter in general. I love driving my 356 but you can't push a 356 like you can a 914. I'm sure somebody can, but your average guy can't.

A 356 uses technology from the 1930's, a 914 uses technology from the 1960's. I believe the secret is with the lightweight and low center of gravity.

And I also prefer pushing a 914 to that of a 356
