also carbs are terrible. You loose power.

Every time I see someone preaching at the “Porsche” 914 altar I cry a bit. Back in the late 1980s people were practically giving these away.

In Chicagoland at least. Your mileage may vary. goshimissthepaperversionofthetradintimes..

Carbs give you the best throttle response you’re ever gonna get with a car... And the best sound to go with that. But yeah, it’s not just “turn key and start”, you need to tune them appropriately. But with all their annoyances, carbs give you the best driving pleasure you’re ever going to get with a car...

Of course... shit cars were awesome back in the 80's... They were genuinely fun to drive. What’s a shit car today? Not something you want to sit in a drive..

Carbs are great, poorly tuned carbs are not so great.

I once worked at a Chevy dealer with a recovering Ad Man.

(Long story short)

He came up with this “Howard’s Mom” campaign (for a then defunct dealer) where you got fresh baked cookies. It was a huge hit. It ran for 20 years. He was actually embarrassed to admit that a 914 was his first purchase when he hit it big and it was the only thing left from the “glory days”.
