One of the often overlooked Porsches. For sure not as mythical as a 911, but I am sure you can have some serious fun with it, and at a Posche meeting you'll probably look cooler than the avera 996 carrera owner cool!

Definately cool. I like the way it looks and sounds. You dont' see them often, even though they aren't that rare.
I'd put one in my garage if I could afford it.

Dont forget the 916 with the all out 911 S engine in it with the fixed roof, now that car is subzero. But the standard 914 definately invokes a feeling to this day - kind of like a forefather to a lotus elise with its nimble handling and its low weight. Now where is that 914/8 owned by Ferdinand Piech!


Cool.

Uncool, although it is a Porsche, it hasn't got the same appeal, specially with the VW engines.

No, who wants a Chevy small block when you can have a genuine 908 race motor.

Guys you really dont know how to vote.


THe cool wall is exactly about being that. Cool or not.

You are not supposed to look at the badge, or know the specs.

Its just the vibe that the car gives off when you look at it. Its a spontaneous thing.

The fact that you guys brought up the VW engine thing tottaly kills the purpose of this game.
