Porsche 914/6 Acceleration
1970 - 1971 "901.39" Engine Code (Sportomatic Transmission)
The High Performance 914 for the Low Performance Driver
1970-1971 Porsche 914/6
vehicles equipped with the SPORTOMATIC transmission produce an
acceleration curve that begins to underperform the six-cylinder 2.0
liter cars with a five-speed manual transmission once speeds exceed 75
MPH. This results from the different gearing required by the four-speed
format. Additional information regarding the six-cylinder "901.39"
engines
is located (not surprisingly) on the ENGINE
SPECIFICATIONS page.
