yes yes yes...Something son and I agree on. Porsches are not VW's and VW's
are not Porsches. However in Jay's defense, the 924 still shares the same
chassis with the 944 (actually the 944 came out of it), it still is rear
wheel drive and it has a rear trannie. Hence, I think it is a real
porsche...even though it's not a 911. Most Porsche a$$holes (and most of
them are) think if it ain't a 911 is ain't sh*t.
Oh btw, the 914 is nothing more than a bug with a different body ;) heehee

Hey Jay,
So you also think your Dub is a Porsche heh? I guess
that's the result of all the bondings you've had w/ Josh
of late... Hell, even your 924 is a NARP (in the P-community,
it's short for Not A Real Porsche)... The only thing
a VW has in common with a Porsche is its propensity to
leak its fluids...
I wanted to go racing and the 914 is in the doghouse
as far as classifications; it's currently in ITA where it
has to compete against cars w/ much more hp. The best
914/4 makes about 90+hp. The usual ITA cars, CRX Si, GTI 18v,
240SX, and even the early Miata 90-93 w/ 1.6 motors all
make 20-30+ hp more than the 914. I've heard that it
may get moved to ITB soon where it'll compete against the
GTI 8v and BMW 2002. I may revisit 914 ownership if that
ever happens...
I bought a Miata because I wanted to run in Spec Miata. It's
not a Porsche but in stock form, it has double-wishbones at all 4 corners,
50/50 weight distribution and a Torsen limited slip. FYI, the 1.8 Miata
is classed in ITS where it gets to compete w/ BMW 325is, Corrado VR6, etc...
BTW, my buddy recently has purchased just about the best
914/4 I've ever seen. It's well prepped with new but not ITA legal
motor/tranny and I should have the opportunity to drive it on the tracks...
And you Brice... well, nevermind...

YEP, EVERYONE has one... I have to concur here with Brice, Porsche:
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE! Of course a good running, handling Dub is a good
approximation!
