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... |

It's not that they directly hate 914's Probably more accurately that don't much give a hoot about them as they really aren't on the radar scope for Nationally competative cars. With the exception of mybe the Fordahl car. and that car is WAY more money that I could scrape together.
So maybe the common demoniator is we mostly are CSOB's that won't spend the money on a 914. the car I outlined above with certainly dominate the field if someone would build it |

So where does a 914 belong classwise in Road Racing? Can it be competive? Seems like there are a lot of 944s with lots of developement knowlege out there for the taking. Right now I am going thru my novice licening in an RX7 for ICSCC racing and don't know if I will campain a 914 or ??? Just as long as it is not a Miata!! |

In SCCA road racing? The 914 can still be competitive in the Production classes. But it's not cheap. Production cars may -look- like stripped out shells, but they are expensive critters to campaign nationally.
There's a few Nationally competitive 914 drivers on the forums, so you might hear from some of them too... -Josh2 |
