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?

Back around 2006-7, I was coming home from visiting Rick O. who owns the 918-S 928 powered 914 in Duluth, MN. I was getting on 35 south and noticed a new Corvette cruising along as I blended onto the freeway. We both instinctively let er rip and I downshifted to 2nd and punched it at 65mph. At close to 100mph I grabbed 3rd and zoomed to 140mph...then I grabbed 4th and kept my foot into it until I noticed how far ahead of the Corvette I was... probably 15 car lengths and I was indicating 180+ mph. I've gone over 175 mph so many times in that car I can't honestly remember the exact # of times. My memory in Duluth that day is the fastest I've gone in any car.....ever. It actually felt like it had more because I shut down before the revs leveled out. It may have been good for 185-190mph with tall 930 gearing & 530HP.
