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 that was fun.
As you can see I managed a 5th place finish in a CSP Miata. Car was not top notch, I have NEVER driven the car before. 1st run was a bit of a calibrate my butt to the car. Did not get blown out in fact after the 2nd runs today I had wiggled into the second place spot. didn't last log but it was cool for about a minute and a half. Lesson learned a Miata does not drive like a 914. evidenced by my 1st run DNF. My right foot wrote a check my ass couldn't cash. |
