Sitting in an airport one day, I penciled out about 300lbs that I could remove from a 914-4. Even with a stock engine, a 15% weight savings would make a significant difference in acceleration, braking and handling.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Nov 26 2024, 11:12 AM)  Sitting in an airport one day, I penciled out about 300lbs that I could remove from a 914-4. Even with a stock engine, a 15% weight savings would make a significant difference in acceleration, braking and handling. My car is under 2000lbs and i didn't really try hard to save weight. And it has a full roll-cage. And probably more than 50lbs in bondo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |
