What kind of class are you thinking of running? What will class allow? Probably best to calculate specs from how car would be setup. Weight distribution, ride hieght, tire width and height will all be dependent on what rules allow. 914 Race cars back in the 1970's used a variety of tire offsets, suspension and motors.
I dont think you will find many vintage production cars with better CG than the 914. 914's issues are more with suspension and finding cost effective powerplants. This post has been edited by grantsfo: Jul 30 2009, 10:41 AM |

Its extremely hard to thing this way here in Poland. U see we have only one real race track here, no regular races, no championships...
Its funny but if U want to organize national championship here U can do it if there would be only 6 teams in one class. So what i want is to buy some nice car, not very expensive too, like 914/4, then upgrade it step by step until finally it will be something like '77 IMSA GTU class winner. However, to compare any cars I need some data, thats why I dlike to know 914 CG hight. U claim there are some better cars, I agree that, but I want to be more precise and then make optimal choice for me... |
