    Keith, thank you for providing me so much fun!!! I'm a 914 fan since 1980 and I equiped a 914/4 with a 2.7 Carrera engine. Some 911and motorcycle owners had been rather surprised about the acceleration of this car. I appreciate it so much, what you performed here.

      what is this witchcraft? buddy was taking corners twice as fast as 911's...I thought they we're meant to handle well? He clearly has super glue on his tires.

    Great vid. I am a proud owner of a 911 and a 914-6 and it is nice to see the 914-6 run to its potential. Best handling road car Porsche ever produced.

    I’ve kept my ‘75 2.0L 914 for over 27 years. I’m pretty sure that this is why. damn, I love seeing a Fourteen eating up the others, Damnit! I converted a ‘75 Carrera to a 3.2L w/G50, but the 914 is still my Baby!

    WOW is all I can say, it looks like if you had a flashing blue light on top of your 914-6 making way through the traffic, as if the other cars were in another race.
    Next time take off the Nitrous, HA HA HA Just Joking,
    Looks really good and definitely different gearing.
    Would like to see the rest of the post so edit as fast as you drive so we can all enjoy your fantastic driving and wonderful sound of the 914-6.
    Thanks for posting

  • @ked911

    I would build the 2 liter out to a 2.5, add some compression, and PMO carburetors. If that isn't enough, drop a 3.2 liter 6 cylinder in there.
    If you go over 200hp the 901 trans will need a cooler and maybe replacement with a 915

      I don't think so none of the cars have tags/number plates. And all of the cars have loads non road legal parts and bumpers bar one that is a 993 GT2 which is a road going race car. No it's just the 911 is a beetle set up the 914 is a more modern mid-engine set up, it beat all of the 40+ 911's in Le mans .

  • @ked911
    @ked911  15 років тому

    obviously the first lap of any race is slow due to not being at speed when the green flag drops. and passing 22 cars on the first lap (and being help up at spots) adds to the time. a fast clear lap in this race was a 2:01 flat. there is a video of what that looked like here as well.

  • @ked911
    @ked911  16 років тому

    The engine in this car is a 2808cc 6 cylinder with carbs. Nothing too special - stock rods and steel valves with a liitle head work. I do have the whole video, but youtube has a 10 minute limit. I just posted Lap 4 from that race, which is a clearer lap with two interesting passes. I am converting some video from other tracks - Lime Rock, Mosport, Summit Point, etc. and will post a lap or two from each.

      No sold that car back around 2006. It was crashed shortly after. I have 2 other 914s now along with a Boxster I track and a Cayman and an early 911. My race car now is a black 914 that I have in a couple more videos under my name Keith Peare. I hope to make more videos this year. Thanks
