The 2011 Nat thread talk about getting competitive in DP is not the first time I have had thoughts on this. After bringing a "Knife to a Gun Fight" the only 2 times I have competed on the Nat Level (SSM and FP) in my 2056. I am only going to help someone else win tires in that company.
I will be back in Oct in Blythville tho because its in my local region and it's a blast even when you are bringing up the rear!! Enough rambling back to the topic... What would a competitive 914 have to look like from top to bottom. What can/can't be done and what can/can't be replaced? Thoughts/ideas/input are always welcome..... |

5 lugs are a bonus if you have them already. Lots of wheels are available. I've found that you're pretty much limited to an 8 inch wide wheel (std 911 offset) in front.
Well put, Josh. Let's face it, the guys at the pointy end of the classes are hardcore. The 2nd place DP guy at tht NT *will* (IMO) show up with bigger tires at the Nats. He was experimenting with 13 inch Avons IIRC. Bauer was experimenting with 16 inch R75 Hoosier radials. Such is life at the pointy end. |
