I was browsing at racer.com and found this article. Is anyone familiar with Dave Montgomery and his 914/6?

Either I'm looking at the wrong data or that 914 was one of the best cars out of the entire field - beating all the GT3, GT-R, and other high performance cars. The only things seemingly beating it with lower scores are the actual racing cars.

Googled but couldn't find a solid answer. Also is there a term for all those "cars" in the modified class that aren't street cars but pure track/racing cars? |

Dedicated AXers will know the details but I think that FP has specific limitations for each car in the class to equalize their potential, while XP has few restrictions - so people can make more eXtreme mods. A Mod cars are just called A Mod cars. Other Modified classes are for former street cars with some pretty big modifications or road racing formula cars. |

Britain's car is an XP car. It's got a little bit of 914 left to it, but the chassis is mostly tubes, the body is mostly plastic, the engine is turbo Scooby, the trans is a 930 box, and the suspension is custom double-wishbone with pushrod-actuated inboard springs and shocks, based on some parts from out of a Lotus Elise. I think it has to fit a certain displacement-to-weight formula, probably modified because of the turbo.
The Fordahl car (now ex-ex-Fordahl) is a 914-6 conversion. The engine is a 911 engine, the trans is Porsche (not sure if it's 901-based or not), I think that the suspension has pretty much the stock layout, and so on. XP cars can be very high-performance "kit cars". FP cars have to be very modified street cars. .... A-mod cars are oversized go-karts with monster wings and every way that a creative owner can figure to make them go faster and corner better... --DD |
