Obviously, the E500 is a much better looking car. It also is nice not to have the engine about six inches from your ears. I just mean the responsiveness of the car's suspension and steering on the 914 were similarly slot-car like and the torque-to-weight similarly makes you feel like you could drive up a tree at high speed or do one of those hollywood drawbridge jump scenes.
