In all of these comparsons, one of the most rare and definitely most overlooked and under-rated Porsches is always that, overlooked.
My all time favorite drivers car was my 71 914/6. Hands down, beyond comparison, no qualifications.
One of my best friends from both racing and business (major orthotics manufacturer) has a 70 914/6 with full 916 flares and wheels, full Turbo brakes and a factory 3.3 GT3 spec motor (If I remember right about 1995 GT3 specs, when it was built).
OMG!! My 987S is a big fat bow-wow dog compared to this car!
Now agreed, don't take the 914/6 on a trip and don't use it if you'll be crawling in and out of it ten times in a day, but if you want to go to your favorite twisties or a track day, don't take anything else.
