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.

Have you looked at E-Modified SCCA rules. 2056cc ????? really you have no clue. Yeah????? Never said anything about 2056cc or a 2.5 boxster being in E mod? I just was comparing platforms with similar power to weight as a comment? E-mod rules allow up to 3200cc's. Perfect for a Boxster S motor powered car - Which rumor has as the E-mod car in question - Have Jake do his magic on the 3.2 and I bet it would put out over 300 HP - then strip that sucker down to under 2000 lbs (which would be quite easy). I suspect you could get a boxster down to 1800 lbs if you worked hard at it. We are likely to see a Boxster E mod at Nationals before a 914. But its nice to know we have a few "rules experts" like you here. LOL! For me I'm satisfied with going to local SCCA, UFO, PCA events in my little underpowered OSP Boxster and occasionally beating big bad Cobras and being beaten by very well driven Miatas. No delusions about podium placing at nationals for me. I'll leave that to you and JP. This post has been edited by grantsfo: Mar 26 2009, 03:51 PM |
