After some research of vehicles in the 914 class and what I think would be a more suitable (E or maybe even H stock) I looked at the power to weight ratio comparisons. It seems odd that a 914 car that is a 22lb per hp (for the 2.0) is classed with the 13-16lb per hp of the competion. Here is what i figured out for comparison on the attatchment Attached File  AutoX_914_Class_comparison.htm ( 13.45k ) Number of downloads: 246
. Does P/W ratio matter that little to lump the teener in with such a class?

That's a very good list. You should incorporate that into a letter to the SEB. Just remember that stats like P/W and Weight alone are only a small portion of the puzzle. And weight by itself has a much more significant impact than P/W in autox. That's one reason the 914 is so great!

Write a letter!!!
