I have an oppt to buy a really nice street Porsche and am wondering what my race car would go for these days.
Its the former Grantsfo pirate ship... been sitting here unused for the last 2 years... and I've used it twice... Yeah, I know. Here's a short list of things: '74 low mile chassis FG trunks, bumpers, and flares 5-6 year old 2.5 purpose built /6 motor, carb, twin plug LSD transmission 5 lug / full suspension Cage Kirkley seat 2 sets of wheels Known issues: LSD slips Engine smokes after sitting long periods Carbs likely need cleaning Package would include nice Carson steel open deck trailer. What's it worth? Attached thumbnail(s)

you know a funny thing about the spring rate debate...
the fastest 914 driver I know likes to run 225's or less on the rear, with 21 front torsion bars.... I guess he must be a crappy driver funny how he passes all of the other cars in wheel to wheel driving... even when he is in a 4 cylinder he will pass all of the other cars... in fact his full race 4 cylinder doesn't even have the cage tied into the suspension points.... yet he is 4 seconds faster in a 200hp 4cylinder than 500 corvette's in wheel to wheel... hmmm.... a true driver with true talent can outdrive lots of "details" on a car stiff isn't always the best option it can be used to overcome some things but it isn't always the fastest way around a track |
