Preparing a new race car build. Would like to run. Fairly stock 2.0 and don’t want to get into a class where the 914 won’t be competitive. If I have a fully caged and braced tub, modified suspension, modest weight reduction and a stock but carbed 2.0, what class would you suggest would be competitive to build toward? For VARA, POC, SVRA most likely.
Looking through all their GCR’s and classifications, there seems to be a few different ways to go. Suggestions from those that have been there would be appreciated. |

I would also point out that PCA vintage classes run a formula for HP/ltr
It may have changed but it used to be around 110hp/ltr as I recall that is a very hard to achieve number in an air cooled car a twin plug -6 has a chance if enough money is thrown at it a 4 cylinder type4 motor is really.... really challenged to reach that number. the amount of money you would have to put into a 2.0 type 4 motor to reach 220hp at an honest 2liters is measured in the wheel barrows.... maybe the rules have changed but pca is not a friendly venue to race a type4 vintage racing is where you can meet all of your wish list |
