I was curious on what the fastest average time a 914 has achieved in a quarter mile. This can apply to only the 4s and 6s (water or air).

Slightly less then 24 hours.

These are NOT quarter mile cars.

Are you asking speed vs. distance or how much rusted in that distance ?

On one of those 1/4 mile - hp - weight - gearing - tire - calculators my car estimates out to 11 to 11.7 depending on what i have the boost set at.

6.0 in the eighth mile so thats probably a mid 9 second car.

Probably Otmar in his electric 914. He takes it to the drag strip.
1500lbs of torque at 0 rpm ...

Other than that, 914s are build for handling, which usually involves corners and such.

At the Cincinatti Porsche Parade, they had an event at a drag strip, and I seem to remember a modified (ie larger engined) 914-6 turned something in the high 12s. Not too shabby for the little car!

I remember reading a porsche book, talking about the 911's. Basically, it was showing how people thought they were slow cars. (1960's-1970's era) But american's measured fast from one stop light to the next, while the german's thought fast was through corners. 914 is a handling car, not a drag car. It can be made to go pretty fast on a dragstrip (915 tranny might be better than the 901 though ), but corners is where it's really at
