If you touch the brakes mid corner in any middlemotor car you deserve to suffer.

And the 901 gearbox is part of the charm of a 914.  For extra points try shifting it without the clutch pedal.

I've used the brakes mid corner in a Gen1 MR2 and a 914 on track. There was no suffering whatsoever. Do note the passenger in the car may not have felt that way.

I don't like early MR2s; I daily drive one for two years. I prefered my NA Miata. AC notwithstanding I'd rather have the 914 than the MR2.

In reply to Tom1200 :

I defer to your superior experience and driving skills.  But I still prefer the AW11 to a 914 or  miata on the street.  Not a fan of convertibles, but for some reason my brain is happy with one if it has a targa bar.  And my body prefers AC over no AC.
