I was looking at my GRM that covered the recent nats, and would note that most of the hot CSP cars (those pesky miatas and the occasional MR2) are running 13" wheels. Anyone ever run some 13's on our 914's, and if so, wadda ya think?

Back in the day when the AVS intermediate was the tire to have, I got a set of 195 50's for the 914, and the car seemed to come alive out of the corners. When I went to the 205 50 Azenis, I thought someone threw out the anchor, the car seemed dead on its feet. I can only wonder what some 13's would be like... As far as shifting, if second became first, and third became second, our "1-2" shift would actually be a "2-3" shift, one more easily made quickly than the current "1-2" with the 205 50's. My "3-4" is pretty smooth now, so for a longer track the lower gearing may be a good thing...
Anyone know anyone who has actually run this size? |
