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.

Well I gotta admit that winning the Nats in a Prepared or Mod class on the cheep is a near impossibility...the same is true in all classes at that level, near as I can figure. That doesn't mean one rolls up one's tent & pack it in, however, as most guys are trying to do the same thing. You gotta remember that 95ish% of the field at the Nats or a Tour event doesn't win a class.....but they are there to compete & have fun. We "homebuilt" types keep plugging away and take as high a spot as we are able.
BTW, I suck as a driver, but I beat "poorly driven" 914s on occasion also. |
