I like Tom. Great guy. Got to spend time with him while I lived in NorCal.. but it doesnt mean I'm going to lay down for him at an AutoX..LOL
I have the chassis and the LSD gearbox. I dont even have to drive (I'll put a SCCA National Champ in the seat if need be) What kind of HP/TQ will it take to beat him. I'm figuring the course is going to be VERY fast since it is being held here in SD. Thoughts on this? This will probably be my last "hurrah" with owning a 914 race car. The car is GUTTED. No windshield.. very little to NO steel in it. Goodyear R430's on 7's+8's. Full cage. It will end up with alum floor pans with small tubes. Shifter/seat/steering wheel. 3 gallon tank. B |

I know the surface VERY well and yes I'm betting I can get my hands on the course design WELL before others.
I could move the suspension points up easily while the car is apart. I have done enough of them in the past.. this would be a no brainer for me. I have enough ratio's sitting around that I could build a torquish engine and gear accordingly. Wings.. damn.. I dont have access to anything bigger than GT3RSR. I'm not a newbie when it comes to splittlers and wings.. but low speed downforce IS something new to me. I'll call me friend Dave Ferguson and see what he did to win Parade in his 9146. I know he used an underbody tray that SUCKED the car to the pavement. I *think* Tom is actaully running a 3.8, but I wont swear to it. B |
