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'm not sure Jake Raby still reads this site. If he does he will know the real numbers , but I believe his wife holds a 1 mile standing start record in a 911 at something like 160MPH.
