Hi might be a dumb question but how fast do you think a 914 with a six or four in could go I'm talking like land speed fast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Not a race car with spoilers/wings etc. but a narrow body low slung with tall gearing.
Any thoughts other than I'm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
But the Gt class here in Australia is a soft record ( 2lt class and 3lt) and well !!!!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Thanks for the input, If I run as a G/GT its an open record, so if I just run in that class it's a record (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Also none of blown records have ever been run so gives some scope to play some more, with a turbo combo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Grand Touring Sport: /BGT, /GT (Gas Only)
Series production sports cars and coupes, as well as limited production cars by a recognized automobile manufacturer, which are primarily intended for comfortable high speed touring. At least 500 of the same model must have been produced. This category does not include cars with rear seats suitable for continued adult occupancy.
The following items must be retained in stock location and of the same year as the body: frame, fenders, hood, grille, drip rails (must not be filled), windows, door handles, window trim, headlights (high and low beam), tail lights, parking lights, stop lights, radiator, both bumpers and horn. Stock gas tank must be fitted, but need not be used. Any transmission, non-quick change rear end, and starter capable of starting engine may be used, as long as the original running gear design is retained. Independent rear suspension may be replaced with any non-quick change rear end.
The following body and chassis modifications may be made: wheel openings may be radiused, generator may be removed and any exhaust system capable of being closed off may be used (no individual stacks). Air dams and air spoilers identical to factory optional equipment for the body in question may be added, bucket seats may be used (as long as original side panel upholstery or equivalent remain) minor chrome trim and emblems may be removed, and air scoops may be used. Stock windshield may not be removed or lowered.
Any tarps must be nonrigid. Engine swaps are permitted, as long as they are of the same manufacturer (e.g., Ford into Ford, Porsche into Porsche, etc.).
This class may run nitrous oxide, but will be advanced two (2) engine classes.
The following are not permitted: streamlining, belly pans, air ducts, air vents, headlight air scoops, chopping, channeling, quick change rear ends, stepped frames, exhaust outlets through the front fenders or hood, blocked off grilles or radiators, engine relocation, body and interior gutting, taped body or window seams.

How bad ass do you want to go?

Is the 914 qualified as a Porsche or a VW in your area?

IF its a VW you could run the same engine swap that I am running (Audi 1.8T) and pretty much put as much power as you want into the chassis like Im doing..

If its Porsche you could run the VR6 motor from the Porsche Cayenne, build it, turbo it and make 1XXXhp...
