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.

I am sandbagging a little. Let's just say certain class weight minimums will be attained.
Anyone who thought Boxster AX car couldn't be brought down to 1700 to 1900 lbs just didn't understand these cars well. That's understandable as so few of these cars have actually be torn down and prepared as true modified and prepared class race cars. I think thing that surprised me is fact that I can get under 2000 lbs with steel fenders and no Swiss cheese of the chassis and a full road race cage. An ax only car could lose 50 lbs of cage!
