Thanks Howy, Coming from you I can respect the thoughts and words. After all, your speaking from experience having owned and driven Moby.

I love the 914 for it's simplicity and basic no frills layout. But the American Muscle Hotrodder in me needs that rumble and feeling of shear terror you get when you mash the throttle. I like to feel like I could put my life at risk at any moment in the apex of a corner. Suicidal? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Nay, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) I'm a car guy, not a Porsche guy. I'm and artist, Body shop guy, engine builder, drag racer, and a self proclaimed reverse engineer. I can't leave anything alone. I have a compultion to phuts with it.

I built my 914 before I ever drove one. I literally finished the car and had never driven it. I love the waty it looks like it's going 100 mph sitting in the parking lot. I looked at the car I built for a year. I drove it around for two summers with the 4 cylinder. The third summer I abandoned it in the yard. If it weren't for Pelican, and then this board I would have moved on.

After some serious consideration I felt the compultion to take my car in a direction "I" felt Porsche should have gone. They built an awsome 6 version as a ground floor entry level euro hot rod. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) Then just as fast as they seemed to get it, they seemed to "not get it." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) When the 914 shells dried up, they forget all about sales numbers and moved in another direction.

It's seemed a logical direction to move the 928 V8 into one of the best chassis designs they ever had. Hence the Alien was born.

Now I wasn't looking to add all the crap that Porsche decided to add the the 928 like a game of pin the tail on the donkey. I wanted the euro/ american version of the Route "66" Corvette. All Porsche, All Power, 2 seats, no frills, No creature comforts.

Where am I going with all this rambling? I guess the point I'm trying to make is, I can't be the last boy scout. The last guy wanting more and less at the same time. A light wieght, no frills, powerhouse, capable of up grades. A stylish, adult sports car without all the weird styling accents cut into the car for no real reason.

If Porsche built such a car I would probably still mess with it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) Ya, it's a sickness.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)
