Having been in a similar situation (200hp 914), the mismatch was
probably between car and driver skill. I was very successful in a
stock 90hp 914, but when I more than doubled the horsepower, I soon
learned that my reaction time wasn't up to it. It takes someone very
special to look good in those cars.
