There is a reason you dont see competition cars running 4 cylinders outside of the stock classes...reliability/hp COMBINATION. Lets take HSR for example. NO 4 cylinder cars are competitive in that class. Why? The reason is simple. If you are gonna spend 10-20k on a motor, you want to get the most life out of it you can. I have watched several big fours (including my pro build and one of Raby's creations) develop big holes in the case during track days. Every single DE 914 here on our coast that I have seen that has any speed and runs every day is a 6. Us fools that have hopped up a four and taken it to the track and tried to spend under 10 grand on engine builds to do it have been burned. Jake how about building me one for cost and proving me wrong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
All that said - Boxsters are great modern versions of our cars general configuration, with all the comforts modern typical consumers expect. A nice lightened simple version would be pretty cool for us performance junkies! |
