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.

Oh yeah. And forget the PCA AutoX numbers. Look up the old lemans records and those kinds of international events. 914s were finishing le mans in front of Ford GT40s for a while. Imagine how fast the 917s were to have actually been banned from racing. There's another teener. J/k- nobody owns a 917 and drives it, But still; you can take apart a porsche and can't count on all the fingers and toes you've got all the things that are still ahead of cars today.
