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 stll say SSM is the best place for a 914.
I guess the choice of engine would be answered by how much power can can be put down effectively. Say from 30 MPH to 80 MPH has to be the quickest. You are allowed brakes, coil over front and back, flares, and as big a tire as you can buy. Transaxle can re-gear and LSD. Early doors, early roof, front CF trunk lid, CF bumpers, 8sq ft of rear wing and a splitter as big as a kitchen counter. |
