I was trying to reach Tim McKenzie, owner of a really nice and VERY fast 914 PCA Club racer. In my Google searches of trying to track him down, I found this video.
Probably some of the best Club Racing I've seen and had to have been a ton of fun for the drivers (Mark White - 911, Tim McKenzie - 914) Enjoy! http://vimeo.com/29219114# |

Not really...the 914 carries much more entry and exit speed. Notice how the 911 passes pretty handily on the front straight a couple times, but the 914 catches him in the corner. 914 is also faster through the carrousel.
Besides, the HP numbers are not that much different - 315 vs 355 Basically, this is a study in how a 914 CAN handle and CAN be driven... I'm not quite there yet! |

OK. Just a thought, HP figures only tell a "part" of the story here...with TT the 911 most likely develops significantly more torque than the the HP spread would otherwise suggest. I believe this is coming into play here...also the fact that the 911 is on DOT and the 914 is on slicks. This could itself have a significant impact on corning speed, etc.
Regarding your driving, I disagree with you. You appear more "there" than not! Not really...the 914 carries much more entry and exit speed. Notice how the 911 passes pretty handily on the front straight a couple times, but the 914 catches him in the corner. 914 is also faster through the carrousel.
