914 track car???

Tim - One 914 fun factor that I feel is worth mention is the a$$ to tarmac measurement. Short of a Kart, can you name a production car that has a number less than the 914?

well there is that measurement as well, I am trying to think of another car that is either that low at a factory height, or "feels" that low. I bet my 2011 Z06 is near to having my butt as close to the road as the 914 (but your $20K rule knocks that out of the conversation) if I busted out a tape measure between it and a stock 914, but when you are in a 914, I agree, you feel like you might hit the ground at pretty much any point in time

Not sure if describing the feel of driving a 914 is like a dog with worms strikes any desire for others to find out what that is like, but that is pretty much the best visual I can give when you sit in the seat. Legs straight out, butt on the ground, and sliding right along

You would have to get an image like this one with your dog - I immediately think of "Death" when a small car and large dog is up for discussion.

That's a decent sized Dane and a really chopped bug! Tuckers head when sitting is around 41-42"

Nice visual on the dog with worms.

A friend of mine is converting a 914 to use a Subaru engine and I'm currently working on a way to convert an STI transmission to a transaxle (getting rid of the rear output).
