Like every 914 owner I've been thinking I want more power. You know, I'd like to at least be able to smoke a Mini Cooper S or a Honda Civic Si without breaking a sweat.
I've been collecting parts to build a 2056 2L engine. I keep wondering if it's worth it. Or, will I still want more hp in the end? What kind of horsepower does it take to make a 914 into a 0-60 8 second car (Civic Si), a 7 second car (Mini S), or a 6 second car (S2000)??? TIA |

You shouldn't be using 0-60 numbers to compare
cars' performance. If you did that the 935 would look like a dog. Sometimes the raw numbers aren't going to show you that in one car you had to shift into 3rd at 59mph or something. Or that one car has a shifter you can bang around vs. the 914 where it pays to wait a while. Mark S. '70 914-6 |
