Hard to compare cars built decades apart. I had a 914 and stock it was pretty slow, much slower than a twin, but a total chick magnet back in the day. I did the usual upgrades: duel carbs, cam, 911 front end. It went pretty well, but still not fast. In the 80's guys in the PCA were buying them like crazy to make track cars and putting large 6 cylinder engines in them. I helped one guy shoehorn a 3.6L in one. It was crazy fast.

I found a pick of my 914. It was dying from rust.
