Driving slow cars fast is more fun than driving fast cars slow

Really love your videos. Great sound, no annoying music. You only talk occasionally to say what needs to be said and otherwise allow the viewer to enjoy the ride. Thank you! :)

The 2 liter flat six with Weber carbs is my favorite car/engine sound, ever. I grew up in a '71 911 with a tuned 2.2. Absolutely gorgeous sounds!

My first introduction to Porsche was in a 914. They’re wonderful cars.

[LittleSecretVintageSocialClub]

This is one of my favourite and the most underrated Porsche in my opinion. I’ve only seen one just a few days ago but I love it

[marial]

Cool little car! My MS Lesbian gym teacher had a 914, likely a 4 cylinder and it really stood out in the 80s. I didn’t know anything about cars then and thought it looked like a toy. Hers was like a light blue with orange.

They're all proper Porsches! One can also argue the 356 roots as well being the "proper Porsche".

[Boxscot]

Man this things seems like such a blast to drive

[BENTAYGA]

That was like riding with my dad 40yrs ago
He got a 911 when I was in junior high school
Thanks, memories 🙏🏿

[lunabouch]

That was one of the best rides (virtually) I’ve had in a long time. Growing up when the 914 was released is memorable. A student at my high school had one that daddy bought for him. That was something I could have never imagined. Your review and comment were💯

[Matt-zcqs]

This is one of my dream cars, I'm so excited for this video!

[francescodalpra]

No words for this! I can't believe they made so good in the 70's

[willum]

There's something very charming about the 914-6. Very characterful. Love how the speedo just gives up under hard acceleration!

I bought a 914/4 in 1973 with the only option a AM radio. Owned it for 16 years and there wasn't a better car. After getting rid of the Michelin tires and adding front and rear sway bars the lift throttle handling changed from dangerous to a tool to adjust your position in a corner. I added aluminum wheels and Phoenix tires which were the hot tire of the day. Later in it's life I had the engine worked on with bigger barrels and changed the fuel injection to Webers with velocity stacks. Intake sound was amazing. One of the best parts though was I could work on the car unlike today. Later on I realized it was losing it's structure when I tried jacking up the left side and the car didn't move. It was so hard to watch someone else drive it away. I paid $4, 500 for it and sold it for $5, 500. Oh another plus was installing a short throw shifter.

I’ve had a thing for these since I was kid oogling over car mags. Always catch my eye when I see one!

[TheRedlich]

Love your videos, especially old Porsches😊

[Official_MikeyT]

A base 914 with a Subaru WRX engine would be awesome. It would be like a vintage Factory Five 818!

[Enderito]

I just discovered this car after buying an engine for my 1970 Beetle from a Porsche 914. Now I wish I had seen the original car before the only thing left was the engine haha!

[marklaechel]

No its not a cobra. You drive this for a pure driving experience. Manual shifting, great balance, zippy, hair blowing in the wind, low weight, driving down the twisties in highland park/lake forest on Sheridan road.

[RobertERensch]

I assume there is a detent to prevent first to reverse shifts?
Oh, yeah. Sidewall flex. Transmits forces to the contact patch progressively and consistently.
You’re getting better at this “driving” stuff. ✌️
Good man.
