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.

No idea why you are so in love with E-mod. A-mod car Wanna go fast? learn how to drive. WHo said I was in love with E mod? Never ran there and never intend too. Didnt say I was building an E mod Boxster - said I know of somone who is. I'm trying to convince JP and Randal E Mod in 914' its a lost cause if goal is to have a National Class E Mod car. I wouldnt run that class ever. If the goal is to have a kick butt car and win local AX's then dont worry about class. Build the car to go fast and run fun class. Street class to Prepared Class are better because you stay with basics of a production car in my opinion. Actually a Prepared Boxster might be comptetive. I know you could make a competitive XP Boxster based on what I have seen. Subaru 2.5 STI motor with boost cranked, LSD and huge Hoosiers would make a Boxster a force to delt with.

A lot of mouth with little practical experience not to mention no guts to try anything like an E Mod/XP Boxster.... Not enuff money to have it done nor the talent to DIY it. Listen to you?....you gotta be kidding. |
