The 914-6 would like to have a word with you.

The 70-72 914-6 had the 2.0 from the '69 911T. In the 70 model year when the 914-6 was introduced, the same year 911T became a 2.2 so that even the least powerful 911 still had more power than the most powerful 914.
Again, no version of the 914 had the same engine as it's contemporary 911. It was kept a few tenths of a liter smaller, and that tradition continued with the Boxster.
There's a reason that a large number of 914 owners regard the Boxster as the modern 914

The Boxster will get it's due in due time. As for the large 401K comment...all I can say is invest as much as you are allowed and don't touch it. When you get older you will be surprized at how much you have. Then buy what you want.
