914's and 986's ???
So guys at dinner tonight CV asked me if the Boxster (986 I believe) is Porsche's newest version of the 914-6?

I can't answer her I don't know.
Both mid engine 6 cylinder and most are convertibles ( t tops etc )

Both cars close weight to power ratio.

What's the story anyone know?

Yea the logic behind this is amusing at best. Just the normal H20 trying to razz people up. In all actuality if Mark had a memory longer then his unit, he would remember the post I made concerning the boxster being more closely related to the all mighty 550. The 914 is a great car and the 914-6 (only a few made though) were faster then the 911 made for the same year. Unfortunately Porsche used the 4 cyl in most of the 914 that is why the 914-6 are considered more of a colectors car.

nope Josh not looking for amusement. Caryl actually asked and I have no clue. Wouldn't you say that the 914 came from the 550 and the boxster /caymen came from the 914. Why would an entire group of Porsche's be overlooked as development for newer generation cars.

I never saw the post regarding 550's and Boxsters....

No Josh to clear things up. No one on 6 speed has a memory longer than my unit.

Actually they have gotten worse since you moved. How is everything down there? Does it remind you of living in the movie Deliverance?
