The 916 was to be the fastest production car that Porsche had produced to that time. The body is notably modified. So I am curious (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) what the fastest 914-s look like. What have you done to your car?

Now I am curious about this. Stock 996 GT2 was 135 mph indicated on the way into Turn 1 at TH on a crisp cold day with a pro driving back in 2002, 130 with me. Stock 991.2 Turbo was 145 mph into Turn 1 at TH a couple of years ago on a 106~ F afternoon with me driving. Oh yeah: it was a Cabriolet with an automatic transmission and heated & cooled seats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) But Wong and Bob were both very, very quick and know TH well. Curious what that 914 was seeing if it was pulling them on the straight. Now wondering what the fastest trap speed on that straight is. @SirAndy , do you know? |

135moh in a with a 3.6 out of a C2 and a Wevo trans. I remember thinking I could’ve gotten higher... right before I got pulled over.
I don’t think 150 is out of reach at all, given the right conditions. Safety first! |
