Realistic Top speed of a 914 Options

[Jason 914-6]

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)

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...

Was thinking more along the factory hot rod line. sort of like a 916 clone and run a 3.0 engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
The car is know as Porsche down here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) and because there aren't many around not many would know what the hell it is or should be. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
I have an ex race car shell that I could loan my 914-6 bits to, and run the 2.0 class while the 914-6 body is being derusted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
