Renegade,

Well since I'm lucky enough to live here in Las Vegas...cough.. I could go down and witness the company first hand. So anyway went down to the facility here and arrived to a Signal Orange 914.. Didn't look any different just noticed the license plate ring said "Body by Porsche, BALLS By Chevy". Walked in and met the guys, all seemed great and knew what they were doing.. Talked to the owner off the 914.. Got some ideas. Anyway so I asked for a ride after 20 minutes of talking and anticipation. So we get into the car and he starts it up... The Chevy comes to life with the low burble they have as this was equipped a little better than a normal 350.. He said 460 HP. And also this car revved freely to 7K. So anyway he drove slow and let it warm up.. The bam he got on it.. umm there isn't a word to describe how it felt as you could just hear the engine roar and keep roaring not the 4500 RPM shift thing. So he took it 7K and bam another gear.. we were going 100 in what felt like the maybe 7-8 seconds... crazy fast.. So were going and I'm just watching how twitchy the car is around corners. Seems that it isn't at all and can be totally controllable with minor gas but then throw a foot into it and a huge 50 yd drift comes. He drove it as a rally car but on street. Every time a corner was coming up I was ready for it but seemed as though no way a car could slow down in time.. His SC brakes brought it down to a halt. RRRRRMMMMMMM back on the gas and there we went again.. It was maybe a 6 minute ride but felt like 30 seconds.. He slides into the shop parking sideways, turns the key off and looks at me with my ear to ear grin. "ANY QUESTIONS", I said "Ummmmmm nope". So any of you who aren't as lucky as me to get to experience this I'm sorry but it was simply amazing.. Now looking for a rust free 914, outside doesn't matter but will run. So my future is wrote now.. Buy 914, Totally fix up and slam a Chevy 350 in it.. I'm hooked and most others would be too... So not over exciting post for others but still am smiling 1 hour later.. WOOOWWWWW
