In what class is the 914 most competitive?, Auto-X and Track Options

[Todd Enlund]

I'd like to race my streetable 914 when I am done building it. I'd also like to be competitive, and decisions that I make now will affect my classification later.

What classes should I be building for? Where is the 914 most competitive? I don't have an engine yet, so anything goes.

Looks like these are all of the possibilities for SCCA Solo:

CS
STS2
DSP
SM2
XP
DP
DM
EM

CS is not going to happen. Obviously, DM and EM will not be realistic for a streetable car.

I'd like to road race as well as AX, but AX is more of a priority for the time being. Actually, I'd like to build a dedicated track car in the future if things work out...

SM2 as soon as the rules mature and become stabil. the Car would be 1900 pounds with Raby 2316-210 275/35-15 Hoosier A6 Advance design shocks roll bar big wings and splitter

XP should have a bigger motor as well and be 1700 pounds more stiffening. even more tire.


I have been building a locally competative car and just want FTD.
Maybe raise an eyebrow at a National tour.

Joe,

The way that I read the rules, a 914 in SM2 with a 2316 must weigh 2121 lbs... 1600 lbs + 225 lbs/liter for a mid engine car... am I missing something? 2121 lbs is awfully fat for a 914.

Looks to me like DSP means engine internals must be stock, but induction, exhaust and ignition are pretty open. No bigger than a 2.0 though... and a stock cam.

Running a 2316 in DP means the 914 must weight 2450 lbs?

Reading the rules is frustrating. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

At this point, I'm tempted to just build the car the way that I want it, show up resigned to the fact that I will be classed in E Mod, and run for the hell of it.
