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.

I think not.

PCA & SCCA autocross is what many of us DO, not just talk about. To me, what has been done in the past is interesting, but not revelant to this discussion. There are also a few here that run SCCA club racing and DEs of many sanctioning bodies.

These exercises are all "whatcha done for me lately", not what someone else did 20-30 years ago in a car somewhat similar to mine.

Thanks for bringing up this old thread, tho (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
