Porche was the expected Porche Red with Turbo spoiler.

Damn...... this thing is collectors car that had some work done on the suspension. 19,000 miles, but it was a 1980. It is in show room condition. I can feel the perforamnce capabities and at the same time the signs of technology that is absent in its feel.

Very quick and love the sounds and its stock. Late spool around 4500 to 7000 redline. Ran a Camaro..hahaha wasnt close."there is no substitute.."

I think it would take a day a so to learn heal /toe due to the pedals being hard and pushing downward to the floor .

90 MPH in second and it was wierd not having to shift so much and still put ya in the seat.You just sit back and feel the pull.

Motor in the back as we know does help plant the power but the stock flywheel felt like one off a turbo diesel truck.

I slept good last night.

You lucky dog! That was THE car I would lust after in my misspent youth. Hell, I still lust after them.

I bet they're not very easy to find anymore. Most of the 914's I've seen have rust issues.
