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.

To be a rule stretcher...... you gotta be a rule expert.
I don't know much E mod BS But I know the XP and SSM and SP rules pretty well. I believe I am going to exploit the XP rule pretty well and the white hulk of a 914 in my garage will be Damn fast. |

Perhaps sometime late next decade you might show up to SCCA Nationals? But I'm sure in mean time we will hear about your ability to exploit rules, how fast it is, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yawn.gif) Just dont take 6 years to develop a car you "think" could podium at Nationals and never go. Would hate to hear you talking about your "fast driver" all the time when you get older and slower. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) If this is important to you take it serious and make it happen now. I do hold hope for you as I do know you get it when it comes to setup and tire choices. Some "other"drivers are still a little confused to what it takes. I'm sure a certain Shootout attendee is still trying to figure out how a car more than 50 HP down from his with a broken LSD and on Good Year road race slicks beat him at the Shootout and was under a second behind his ringer driver. Good Emod cars waxed me by 3 seconds in the same car at Marina so be careful about what those without actual Nationals expereince spout about setup. I would just love to see somone serious on this board build a real SCCA Nationals contender for either XP or E Mod. SO far no one is close. E Mod is probably best class to target as hardly anyone shows up and it gets thin at lower part of podium. XP is a tougher class at Nationals from what I have observed.
