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.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Good for you! Dont tell anyone this but I think youre a fast driver and should do well. Hey have you driven a Miata before? You'll be depressed on how well it turns compared to a 914. Let us know when you go to The Nationals. As I said very few posters on this board have any expereince at the main Solo National event in a 914. Its difficult to say what it would take to develop an E Mod winning 914 at The Nationals, not a regional tour event, but the one event that determines the fastest car and driver for the year. JP seems to think he has it dialed, but my expereince says he is drinking a bit of his own kool aid. This post has been edited by grantsfo: Mar 25 2009, 10:40 AM |
