AutoX classification ?, Why is the 914 in C Stock? Options

[jetboy]

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  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?

Rumor has it that there are only three or four stock class legal 914's left in the US. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

As you make a great point in that statement right there. But, since this lovable auto is nearly impossible to find the stock components such as springs then there should be some slight allowance for replacing with the most readily available replacements (such as 140lb springs... not my fault they only come in a shortened length). Point is, if its expected to compete against lighter or as light cars with more power and newer technology components, then, this 30+ yr old auto should be allowed a little leway (sp?) if expected to compete in that class. Other wise, it almost seems from a P/W standpoint its more comparitive to H Stock. Oh, would they hate that?!!!
