Are there many 914 owners who also love some 911 magic?

Shure! 
´87 Carrera "Limited Edition". One of 867 made. In love with it since 2002.

78 SC
I sold this in the Spring, so technically I'm not a current owner, but I'm looking to replace it with another one.

Working on it 
Our two keepers, a '67 S and a '68 Targa Sportomatic. At one point we had two others, a '68 R replica racer (as well as a 6GT) and '68 S Targa Sporto. That was a rare oddball.

Have a harem of them. oldest is a 75 s, newest a GT2RS. Most originals, two highly modified. Still like to drive the teeners.
A beacon on the hill
We have a 77 Targa and TT water pumper…but the 914’s get way more seat time
Wife still has her 86…
Don’t think I’ve ever used the word “Magic”
in the same sentence with it..??

+1, lighter, better balance. One of the best designs ever
Currently a 1975 911S and 1987 turbo cab in the stable, both rust free, running

I think I am going to be evil and rename this thread "Donor Car Roll Call".
My RSR outlaw with my other work in progress.
I've been very blessed. But the six is still my favorite

Yep. Got one, starting to make parts for these too
1980 911 SC Just upgraded the chain tensioners to oil lubricated. The paint has spots that need some attention, Interior is original but leather on base of seats are torn. I have refurbished the steering wheel leather wrap.

2019 991.2 GTS
I simply had to have one. Great lesson learned:
Wonderful to drive, worrisome the rest of the time. Nervous wherever it was parked other than at home. OMG, will it get a rock chip today? Stupid quick and fast, limits WAY too high for the street.
Turns out, I don't want an awesome super-duper car! Sold it after a year.

Many of you have probably seen this lurking in the background in my build photos. 2017 C2. It serves as an opposite of my 914: bought brand new (and perfect), and not for wrenching on--at least not much.

1969 911 E
Have had at least one in the stable since my '90 964 C4 coupe. Love them all but my '71 914 (which I've had since new) will always be my sentimental favourite...
I got this 2009 997 Turbo 6-speed back in 2014 and still really love it, except the black is a pain. The torque is just monstrous with the stage 2 mods and as @tygaboy noted about the 991, it's basically too fast for public roads.
I think my favorite theme about this thread is that we all have a 914 because there is just nothing like em!
How about a ‘76 911 Turbo Carrera, still need a shot of them all together…

Click to view attachment 81SC and yes it did come with the whale tail. Third Porsche I bought. 72 914 it's gone and then a 74 914 1.8 about to become a 2.2E in the near future. I have had the SC almost 20 years now.

Not only do you have excellent taste in vehicles, you have just proven you have great taste in dogs as well!

I sold a 996 to fund the 914 project, then got sucked back in because I missed the driving experience too much. It's truly an illness. A member on the rennlist forum recently posted a very quotable quote regarding the longevity of the infamous M9X engine hung out the back of the 996:
"If you spend more than 5 minutes on this forum you'll learn quickly that they are all time bombs and a proper PPI cost about $2500
so ignore this forum, do some due diligence and use your common sense. Regular maintenance and it should last several tens of miles before the inevitable $35,000 rebuild that can never be verified or confirmed."
Owning a 996 does feel a bit like playing a game of Russian Roulette after reading all the horror stories. I know the probability of a catastrophic failure of this engine is 100%. I just hope to get some enjoyment out of it before that happens.
