Years ago I autocrossed a '74 914 1.8 extensively in Northern California Porsche Club events, and did very well with it. Ran several times in an annual challenge against the Corvette club, and won more than I lost. You can't imagine how much fun it is to see the look on a guy's face after he climbs out of his big, loud, V8 and realizes that the little car with the little motor whipped him. With some suspension work, that car will
fly around corners. You'd have a lot of fun with that car.
