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) |

All the simulations I have done with my current setup say I should be able to get close to 200mph at my high power setting and current gearing...
Will I ever do that? Not likely... Most I've done is 150, and the rear end gets extremely light at that speed. Serious aero would be required (Full undertray front to rear) if someone was serious about going big speeds (180+) in a 914. |
