hello,
Been thinking about a new project. Has anyone driven a 914 over 200 mph? Enough horsepower can be obtained with a V8. Might need turbos to keep the motor reasonable. Aside from the required safety mods. any input on areo tricks would be helpful. I know a stock body tends to get very light at high speed. My stock bodied V8 conversion starts getting real skittish around 145. Can this be done or am I nuts? Thanks David |

I might try some mods with my street 914 V8. Before I build another. Its got about 370 hp. It will run up to 150 with more possible. But it gets very light feeling. I know I need more down force. Any reccomendations on what seems to work for a driver not a race car?
Thanks David |
