Anybody go to the 50th Porsche B-Day and LS? I didn't (couldn't), but a buddy of mine taped one of the races for me. Out came the Brumos 914-6 (L20E baby (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) ) and you know who was driving it? Hurley Haywood (spelling?)! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) That guy can drive a 914-6! Out on the track was Shelby cobra's being driven by his family (Shelby brought out his big guns), other Porsches, vintage muscle race cars ect. Hurley started back in something like the 15-16th spot and you know what? Lap after lap saw the little 914-6 GT pass people on corner after corner, out braking others, slipping inside to make the pass etc. When all was said and done, if I remember correctly, Hurley passed his last couple of cars (911's I think) to take the checkered flag. All out of a 2.0 914-6GT
THAT, my friends is a big reason I drive a 914-6. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

I will be helping someone do a 3.0 conversion in 2005, but mine is a 2.2T in a 73' tub. Nothing specail, no mods worth mentioning. Good, solid 914 though. We take it on lots of trips.
I have been keeping my eye's peeled for a decent 3.0 or 2.7 myself. Haven't run accross anything over here really. When or if something falls into my lap, I will jump on it and upgrade my 914. Otherwise it will stay a 2.2 which is fine with me. It is a done car and really just gets driven, washed and looked at. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |
