The discussion of how the different cars look while taking different corners at different speeds while cornering is moot.
Not putting bars on entry level vehicles was very common in the 60s & 70s. The 914 was an entry level sports car comparable to MG’s, Triumph, and the Fiat X1/9. It definitely was not allowed to compete with the 911! To say that there is no excuse for not putting anti roll bars on the car is similar to saying there was no excuse for offering a 1.7L with only 80 Hp. Do bars help control body roll? Of course they do!! Yet, we still have guys on this very forum that refuse to tune body roll with bars and instead use springs with crazy rates. Cars are built to a price point. They often launch with less feature content and less weight than they end up with at the end of their lifecycle. The 914 was no different. |
