What are 914s Capable of, performance wise Options

[yahthatsright]

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.

As a 20 year old college student, whenever I get in those pissing contests where they throw around numbers and times, I just say "my car looks cooler." You're never going to convince anyone the 914 is a better car based on numbers. It simply isnt a straight line car, which is what modern numbers are geared towards. Just smile and nod and say "yeah, my car is a piece of crap." If that circulates, theres a lesser chance of car theft (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
