Your ASSumption was that just because a 914 is 70s tech, it is a POS.
The race prepared Miata that I passed, and the FRS that could not shake me would beg to differ.
My 914 has close to the same hp/weight ratio as the twins, but is mid engine.

And the reason the 914 even came up is that it is an Open diff stock, and "racers" make the mistake of thinking that a rear sway bar will make them faster. NOT if you have an open diff.
So if they think rear sway bars will help, then they better pony up the $$ for an aftermarket LSD.
because lifting a rear wheel with an open diff is not helpful.
Clearly you think I'm someone else

Go back and look, all I did was compliment someone's car.
