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).

Are you asking speed vs. distance or how much rusted in that distance ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

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.

QUOTE(buhs914 @ Jun 26 2009, 10:14 PM)  I was curious on what the fastest average time a 914 has achieved in a quarter mile. Probably Otmar in his electric 914. He takes it to the drag strip. 1500lbs of torque at 0 rpm ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) 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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)), but corners is where it's really at
