While all my books are home, i can confirm that only 2 914/8s were ever produced. Both were race only vehicles, and after an dominating few seasons, were retired. Both now reside at the Porsche factory museum i believe. ([[User:Radiomanlaughs|Radiomanlaughs]] 08:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)) |

Radioman, my information says otherwise. The red 914-8 carried a full-on 300 HP 908 motor with MFI. It was licensed for street use, and was not to my knowledge ever entered in a race. The silver car had a de-tuned 908 engine only making 260 HP, and was a street car exclusively. [[User:Dave Darling|Dave Darling]] 02:28, 14 October 2006 (UTC) |

Someone vandalized the page by placing at its end this text (which is nothing more than an advertisment): "The starter motor for the Porsche starter has become replaceable with a mini version. Where the orginal starter weighs as much as 18 pounds, the replacement starter weighs 8.5 pounds and carries 500 Foot Pounds of torque, making it a better replacement starter. Places to purchase this starter are located at www.powerforceproducts.com." I imagine that folks should probably inspect other Posrsche pages for this sort vandalism. |

Perhaps a mention of the starter is appropriate? The ad currently at the bottom of the article (for Auto Atlanta and GT Performance, and the 9014 body kit) probably should be removed as well... [[User:Dave Darling|Dave Darling]] 02:28, 14 October 2006 (UTC) |
