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) |

I had my stock 1970 1.7L up to 125, but it felt like I was floating. I changed lanes(went from the slow lane to the fast lane on a 4 lane freeway) at that speed and when I reach the fast lane the car drifted into the emergency lane just a bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . So needless to say, I backed off just a bit. And I was at red line and could smell the engine getting hot.
