Enough of the little horsepower pissing match, it's time for the fast cars to have their pissing match.
I'll be honest, my loyalty to the P-motor doesn't run very deep. They are WAY to expensive for the HP you get. The ONLY advantage i can see from a performance standpoint is the weight, and i'm not sure it's as big as everyone imagines (guessing less than the weight of a decent passenger). The SBC is easier to work on, builds more HP easily, lasts longer at the same HP level, and sounds better (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) (subjective i know). You do lose the front trunk, but a 914 is not a practical car to start with, so no biggy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) I understand people wanting to keep the bloodlines true and blah blah blah.. isn't that kinda like in-breeding? please discuss (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/burnout.gif) |

so, andrew, have you actually ever tried that? driving a /4 "foot down" and turned in a good time at an AX? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/poke.gif) guys, i wasn't trying to insult anybody, i was trying to make a point. i like a nice v8 conversion just as much as the next guy, but ... - anybody can drive fast in a fast car in a straight line - good drivers can drive a fast car fast in the twisties - really good drivers can drive a slow car fast anywhere *any* car can be driven fast with a skilled driver behind the wheel! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Andy IMHO, if you need 1000HP or 500HP or even 250HP to drive a 914 fast through some country backroads, you're using HP as a substitute for the lack of skill. that's my opinion, and i'm sticking to it ... |
