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.

60 MPH through a slalom is pretty freaking fast. By the time I realized it was the rev limiter it was to late to do anything about it.
Do not know enough about the car to do stupid things. Never driving it before the 1st run at an Natinal Tour probably wasn't the best either. I can usually drive around most cars problems at a local event. If I screw up no biggy I'll just get another run. |
