This dance has been happening since the beginning of time and will never end as long as humans have a competitive drive. Electrics are the future although I believe giving a sixteen-year-old kid a 10 second car is as irresponsible as giving him a class 3 weapon. The parents should be held accountable... The question I was answering was "can nitrous be used?". The answer is yes, with proper education and conservatism. The question "should nitrous be used?" is not what I tried to answer. That always has to be answered by the owner... I have NO plans to include nitrous in my air-cooled builds. |

QUOTE(technicalninja @ Apr 15 2023, 08:32 PM)  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) This dance has been happening since the beginning of time and will never end as long as humans have a competitive drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I just find it hilarious that so many folks don’t realize that EVs have changed everything with respect to straight line 0-60 or 1/4 mile performance. Trying to modify a 914 to compete with an EV in a straight line is like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Straight line performance was never what 914s were about anyway. Sure you can put a V8 in a 914 and get more power but you just raise the Cg and can’t get enough tire under it to keep it hooked up to maintain traction without AWD. A Tesla can’t touch a 914 in the twisties - and that is truly amazing given how long ago the teener was engineered. |
