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.

JP, again, I am not saying your car is not impressive. It is and is a very amazing car. I am saying, however, at the National level, meaning THE National event, a 914 in the class you are running will not be the number one car. I don't mind if you prove me wrong. I love our little 914s and love to see them win things that they really shouldn't. I really do expect to see a 914 set TTOD at the shootout. WHether it is your car or Leads car or Randals car or.... I don't know but I do think one of you guys will do it. The 911s will bow to our little 914s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I am saying, however, at the National level, meaning THE National event, a 914 in the class you are running will not be the number one car. Terminology........ Trophy does not mean win the class. IIRC, the top 4 cars trophied in E Mod last year......11 or 12 guys trophied in SS. Stick with me here, son, soon you'll know what you're talking about. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm aware of the shitbox's limitations.....thas why I keep working on it. If I had moe money...but more importantly, more time/talent, it would be competitive for the class win at the Nats. I'm in the process of puting in a passenger seat....a cheep one....the harness is gonna cost more than the seat. Bring your own barf bags. |
