Ok seriously, you could build a 914 to compete at the nationals, but only if one would be willing to spend some serious cash, just like the competition. To be competitive you'd need a big 6 (375-400 hp) coupled with the right transmission/gearing and tire combination. JP's two speed approach would work great. Actually the Beast would be a good starting point, although maybe a bit heavy, but the big motor/transmission combinations are right now sitting up in Reno. Like a 400HP-normally aspirated 6.

SO why not run upper and lower control arms up front? It certainly can't be that hard. Benefits is you get to set the tire where you want it. you get to run WAY better shocks, camber gain and other suspension geometry stuff if done right would certainly benefit.
I would love to graft in a Miata or RX-7 3rd gen rear suspension as well. Now you would be able to put down all the power you can make. Driver Driver Driver My old co-driver was consitently 2 seconds faster than me. He was pretty damn close to the top XP car on day 2 of the last Houston NT. Very inconsistant driver that could pull a fast run out of his ass. In fact he pulled one out so quick that the timing table gave him a re-run. In car video said he did it but the scoring table wasn't interested. They said you back it up and you can have it. |
