That 914 reminds me of another type car with the motor right behind the driver's seat. Mid engine 351 V8 ford Pantera. From the early 1970s. Pretty impressive cars too.
Great vid! Myvuncle restores porsches and his 914 he upgraded the engine internals. Last time we went out in a porsche cruise he kept up with the new cars through the twisties. Such a great little car. Always surprises me
Thanks for posting, great video i could listen to those sounds all day long! I will never afford a porsche but im hoping one day to find an 240z to fix up and do some gear jamming down some nice curvy roads around Niagara
I once came home before with a '72 914 red w/ chrome bumpers i wasn't driving i left it where i was walking by walking by some people house and yard and there sitting was a 914 i was like yeah i went knocked on their front door and asked "is that car for sale?" A lil elderly lady said yes its for sale but it belongs to my son he's in jail! But its my son's car she say, I'll asked him when he call me from jail! I was like okay and left the car standing sitting in the yard as i walked home. Long story short, i actually spoke to the owner of the 914 yes. We talked and he said "so, you're putting together a matchbox!" I really didn't know what he meant when he said matchbox? And he sold me his '72 914! guess how much this nice dude that was in prison that i never met before sold me his 914 gave his mother the okay for me to buy the 914! He told her to sale it to me the 914 didn't run and i bought the 914 for $200.00 USD i got the 914 to my house this was in the year of 1987 i had the car towed to my house i had no where to park the car so i was allowed to park the car on the front lawn which was nestle in the cusp of the cul-de-sac to the right. Man i was happy that day i bought home a Porsche 914! It sat in my front yard on that cul-de-sac and i never got to fix the car i was broke and young w no job. i never got a chance to drive the car! The sad ending is i had to junk a perfectly good car for less than i bought it. the day i came home with a 72 Porsche 914! I was 21yrs of age and i was living in los Angeles at the time. i still want another 914 if im lucky again. It hurts me to this day to know that i sold my 914 to a salvage yard. Back in '87 "the day i came home with a Porsche" true story
Great videos. 914 is one of my childhood dream cars.♥♥♥ I now have an outlaw build 1974 914, 2.5L 4cyl, 48 webers, forged lightweight alloy internals, auxiliary oil cooler, all 930- 911 suspension, brakes, suspension, axles, hubs, wheels. It's badass.💯 I'm wondering what tires you're using or which you prefer for fast canyon carving?
It looks like the 914.6 has a removable targa top which is almost like a convertible. On one of the coffee walks videos with Dennis Collins, he bought one from an individual. Cool video. You should watch it. Neat car.
I do have a list of all of the owners that is a 71 914 six number 240. If you send me an email, I'll send you the history of the car. I looked at the list and and I don't have a Dan Cundiff. The car sold twice on bring a trailer in the last year .bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-porsche-914-6-19/
Funny and interesting - but i love he roads though ( and we all love the sound !) , we dont have anything like it (the roads) in Denmark , but what does VS mean ???- im thinking if i were you, i would get that toy car out of the rear weuv mirror, - mount a H belt in the car and outrun those 911 they would NEVER catch you ! the 914 and 916 handles so mutch better than the 911 - but of corse, if you only wanna be 1/3 on the trottle - then you might as well stay behind "the leaders". I am no sunday driver - VS means winning. just another way to look at it. best wishes Jens
This was a waste of time and fuel. The only way to highlight the driving dynamics of a 911 2.0 vs a 914-6 2.0 is on a race track. The 914 can do trail braking much better than a 911 and can be placed differently through corners especially off camber, decreasing radius curves.
Sunday morning joy ride? I easily could follow with my ED7 (Civic). On the track the 914-4 would have no chance a stock -6 is at level but I never challenged a 911 with a small 2 liter engine. The 914 is a strange designed car, no beauty but unique and equipped with a good driving performance. And it's got the wonderful sound of the air-cooled flat six.
I think you're underestimating the effect of a small car with 160 horsepower in a small engine, and on a narrow-ish road. They're almost certainly AT the speed limit or below it for most of this drive. Go drive an mx-5 with the top down at highway speed for a couple of exits and you'll know.
Before you start ragging on these three drivers, you should try to understand this is Angela Crest Highway and most of the people who go out there do spirited driving and are very good drivers . I would worry more about people driving on city streets who are texting and talking on the phone and not paying attention.
Nice to see the 914 running so well. I really like the lateral acceleration indicator.
Thank you very much!

Looks like reasonable speeds to me lots of grip left on the table to react
Sounds so good!
It hypnotic thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching my video

That 914.6 should be able to out corner with the mid engine for ballance. It would be like a go kart. The for runner of the GTR.
Somebody call 911? 😊
That would be a kick
It’s his car and he can drive it the way he knows how. Personally, I would shift differently and taken a couple of opportunities to pass 911s…
What year is the silver 914/6 in the garage? Is it a '71? Trying to track down my former 6, many thanks!

You're my kind of driver.
914 could have easily passed the up 😂
Der 914 ist super, der Stil des Fahrers jedoch fragwürdig
Isn't that "presents"? LOL

how reckless. drive speed limit and stop endangering the lives of other drivers (if you don't care for your own).
