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 is right about what needs to be done to be competitive in E Mod. With a 1700 minimum weight (with driver) a 914 without extensive rework will always have a weight disadvantage. That would mean to be super competitive The Beast would have to get down to 1500 lbs which isn't going to happen without a boat load of money. Hell, even with money it would be difficult. It would be easier to modify "222". |

I wonder if Paul's car fits the E Mod rules? IIRC (from my looks at his pics), he might have to add some sheet metal......& ballast up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ....but what do I know....ask the troll for an exspurt opinion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
