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?

And just to reiterate a point i was trying to make earlier:
More horsepower does not change your top speed, it just gets you there faster Your (potential) top speed is a combination of the max. rpm of your engine plus your transmission gearing plus your wheel/tire diameter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) That's not entirely true. An under powered car may not be able to ever see redline in 5th gear due to wind resistance, no? |
