I know this guy...he is looking to purchase a 914...wants to be really fast on the AX course...and can't decide between an original 6 (or conversion) w/ 2.7L (or some sort of uprated motor) or a Raby (or similar) four cylinder.
Putting the discussion on equal playing grounds, lets say that both chassis are identical, which would be faster on the AX course? This is assuming a well built chassis, with a cage, upgraded suspension, hoosiers (or similar) tires, etc. For AX purposes, my vote would go for the 4-cylinder car all the way. I have my reasons, but I want to hear yours first...so which is it? -Britain |

the initial question was about "compareable" cars. you guys are all waaaaay off base ...
super lightweight /4, stockish /6, build up /6 ... all comparing apples with crowbars ... two *identical* cars, same driver, one with a built up /4, one with a built up /6, SAME hp, same gearing, same everything, for ease of comparison, let's say warmed over 2.0L ... in my humble experience, the /4 would be quicker at the AX due to the different torque/rpm/hp band than the /6 ... that was the initial question, that was my initial answer, and i'm still sticking to it ... everything else posted here was pretty much useless drivel as it ignored the actual question he asked ...
