The first video shows a couple laps running behind the 914/6/3.0 (SixAddict) of a good friend. The longer part shows a little more solo action...man these cars are fun!
Second Day after changes (1 lap only) - amazing balance in the car! https://youtu.be/NhHMaa0_R5o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHMaa0_R5o https://youtu.be/LfFdP8GnXiQ (12+ minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfFdP8GnXiQ https://youtu.be/9Te6GScwxek (3 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Te6GScwxek The GT3 Cup is faster everywhere but still allot of fun to (try) keep up with. I might be a smidgen faster down the straights - barely at best. Tony |

Tony,
Careful with the aero balance at those kinds of speeds (150MPH). Can you post photos of your car with the wing and spoiler? With regard to the springs, keep in mind the rear trailing arm motion ratio; think it's 1.17:1, so your wheel rate will be higher. On Terry Stewart's SBC/914, we ran 450# springs with a big wing. Forgot to ask. Open diff or LSD? Andys |
