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.

I hear rumors that an E Mod Boxster is being developed. Now that would be interesting. Emod Boxster verses E Mod 914. I think Boxster would be cheaper to go fast, but 914 probably could be made into faster E mod car if you exploited all rules.
Having driven both 914 and Boxster I see strengths and weaknesses in both. I know an equally setup 914 with a 2056 motor would be very close in capability to my current stock powered 2.5 liter Boxster. Boxster turns better but carries a little too much weight. Boxster doesnt suffer nearly as bad from lack of LSD as a 914 does. |
