As a 21 year old college student most of my peers have a hard time understanding why I think my 85 hp 30 yr old car is so fun. Usually I get the question, “Okay, It seems like you can make a lot of upgrades to this car, If you did that how fast would it be” I usually answer with a stutter, uh uh I dunno. So, with a 200 hp six and moderately stiff suspension, what kind of numbers do you guys have? It would be very interesting to see some braking stats, 0-60, some form of slalom, anything. I’m also wondering if the guys out there with 300 to 400hp or getting that much more for performance.

A 914 just isn't a good drag car and never will be. However, it's a great handling car, and excells at other forms of motorsport where turning is involved. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) If you want to beat Mustangs just go to an autocross with those guys. I've watched a 1.7L 914 litterally SPANK a supercharged Mustang SVT Cobra at autocross. Repeatedly. Without mercy. -Ben M. |
