I never raced my 914 but remember how incredibly fun they are to drive; even on the street. Had a '76 2.0 and a '71 1.7 that were bone stock but still really fun.

I agree! Daily-drove a different mostly stock '73 for several years years ago, and it was fun, reliable and even got good gas mileage.

Drove a 914 6 once on the backroads in California in the early 1980s. It stayed flat in the turns with no lean and pretty predictable handling. Much better than a twitchy 911

Oh man , my dream car !!! Those are the coolest and baddest little sports cars ever built!!!! Would love to hav e even the 2.0L 4cylinder , with alot of goodies thrown in it 😁 Once saw a 2.0L completely annihilate a Datsun 260Z in a drag race!!!! The Daysun came pulling up next to the 914 , and he was revving his engine up a bunch of times , and the 914 just sat there cool and quiet , but when the light turned green they took off , and within a quarter mile or a little more that 914 already had a good 150 yards on the Z , and he never let up , you could hear them a mile out and the 914 was so far ahead that I couldn't believe how bad he beat the Z , because when the Z was revving his engine , it sounded really really mean . Needless to say , that just gave me a whole new perspective on the 914's 👍😊

Not saying anything about this car in video. Just a story. In 1985 I wanted one these when I was 15 turning 16. Found one in for sale ads. Talked my dad into taking me to look at it. He told me they are junk. Of course I wouldn’t listen to him. When we neared neighborhood , we drove past the Porsche broken down on the side of road. We just kept on driving and went home.

Thank you! The engine is a pretty robust build on a 7R mag case with around 11:1 C/R, twin-plug, DRC cams, Weber 46s, headers - makes 235hp to the wheels @ 7500. I have a pretty detailed build thread on 914world.com which I will keep updating periodically as the car keeps evolving (had it 18 years so far)

Back in the 70's it certainly out-handled most other cars out there, arguably the 911 included. And look at how many of Porsche's "real race cars" are mid-engined, despite the obvious racing success of the 911/935. Nowadays the Cayman GT4 would be the new 914-6GT equivalent, IMO.

Really neat how your steering, and gear changes can be seen as the reflection in the windshield, in the otherwise useless sky section of the view. There must be no dash board on that thing, or the windshield angle. I have never seen that before.

I am a Die-Hard 911 fan. In 1980 I had a "Rich Girlfriend" that was Very Into cars. She owned LOTS of cars...including (of all things) a 1959 Chevy Biscayne...1968 Ford GT500...and a 1973 Carrera RS. That Porsche was amazing.! White with Red. If she still owns it, it is worth a fortune. Anyway.....I always thought the 914 was a Very Good and Very Under appreciated car. Nice to see yours on the track. It Sounds Fantastic...!! I understand the reasons for lengthening Laguna Seca...but what a different track it is now. There was a saying drivers use to like to throw around the ranks of The SCCA....."Sears Point and Laguna Seca.....Seca separates the men from the boys". Both tracks were their own thing...some guys preferred one over the other for various reasons. If you have never been to Laguna Seca...you Cannot Appreciate how STEEP the corkscrew is.....WAY more than what shows on film. In a Formula Ford, you were flat-out from Turn 9 to Turn 4. Not even sure what Turn 9 is now days.....about Turn 14 maybe.? Nice Video.....Thanks

Chris Campbell​ That would be great! I love the sound of that modified air cooled flat 6. I've been considering a 914. But the values in the UK are far higher when you convert USD to GBP :( I could buy a mint 996 for the price of a very good 914 2.0 four cylinder. I've got one of the very first Boxster's and I'm now searching for that mint condition 1998 Porsche 911 - one of the first water cooled. So I have the 2 cars that saved Porsche from extinction :) they're bound to hike up in value over the next 10 years. Especially the early Boxster. Mine is engine 007! 😎

Thank you Ron! I have a detailed build thread on 914world.com and if you haven't yet, I highly recommend heading to that site to help with your research and connecting with other 914 fanatics. In a nutshell, in front the car has 22mm hollow torsion bars, a big Smart Racing swaybar, raised and decambered strut spindles, needle bearings and monoballs and a widened track (spacers). In back it has 300lb coilovers, Elephant Racing polybronze bushings, and a factory swaybar. Struts/shocks are custom valved Bilsteins. The chassis is fully caged and heavily reinforced as well. Cheers and good luck with yours!
