LOL<br /><br />The 924 may have had the seal of approval with its Porsche lineage but it was an embarrassment to the spirit of Porsche.Adrian Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15142600981935189373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247034752322996087.post-29733562988057612482009-01-26T15:13:00.000-08:002009-01-26T15:13:00.000-08:00While 914/6s are doubtlessly the superior vehicle,...While 914/6s are doubtlessly the superior vehicle, referring to 914/4s as "sub-par" is a little harsh. They are good, fun-to-drive, sporty VWs--certainly better in every respect than any Karmann Ghia--that had the misfortune to be saddled with the impossible task of living up to the Porsche marque, a name they neither deserved nor asked for. But you shouldn't call an apple "sub-par" just because it's not an orange.<BR/>Alright,<BR/>whc03grady.whc03gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304236390575971087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8247034752322996087.post-52983399124306328962009-01-26T12:54:00.000-08:002009-01-26T12:54:00.000-08:00The 914 was developed by Porsche for Volkswagen un...The 914 was developed by Porsche for Volkswagen under a contract obligation and hence was already a bastard child before it was born. If you are so compelled to own one of these sub-par machines please make sure it's the 914/6 as it was the only 914 model equipped with true Porsche parts in the form of the suspension, brakes, transmission (901) and motor (all from the 1969 911T). All 4 cylinder 914's ran VW parts for all major components including the 4 just mentioned.Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843908198212062546noreply@blogger.com
