I was browsing at racer.com and found this article. Is anyone familiar with Dave Montgomery and his 914/6?

Britain's car is an XP car. It's got a little bit of 914 left to it, but the chassis is mostly tubes, the body is mostly plastic, the engine is turbo Scooby, the trans is a 930 box, and the suspension is custom double-wishbone with pushrod-actuated inboard springs and shocks, based on some parts from out of a Lotus Elise. I think it has to fit a certain displacement-to-weight formula, probably modified because of the turbo.
The Fordahl car (now ex-ex-Fordahl) is a 914-6 conversion. The engine is a 911 engine, the trans is Porsche (not sure if it's 901-based or not), I think that the suspension has pretty much the stock layout, and so on. XP cars can be very high-performance "kit cars". FP cars have to be very modified street cars. .... A-mod cars are oversized go-karts with monster wings and every way that a creative owner can figure to make them go faster and corner better... --DD |
