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?

So Josh we need to write a letter huh?

Stock 914??? yep there are a couple I'm sure. But any knuckle head that spends enough money to keep a 914 stock is not going to beat orange cones with it.

Street prepared, this was brought up a year or so ago. Josh had some keen insight as to what a DSP 914 would look like. and it certainly would be fast.

With 50K you could make one hell of an SM2 car that would certainly get the attention of the RX7 drivers.

XP FP and E mod are all good places for older cars that people have forgotten about.

This topic applies to why the 3rd Gen RX7 is still in Super stock. Nobody cares or campaigns it anymore. those cars ruled the roost back in the day also.
