Wow, that is a broad statement! "Ps the 914-6 was the fastest production
car Porsche ever made." Is there any facts behind this statement?
I agree that the six cylinder version of the "Volkswagen" Porsche was a very
balanced and powerful car, but there has been a lot of delicious 911s and
the like since then.
