What is the weight of the Porsche Boxster in comparison to the 914 and what size engines were available in them? Were there any quirks about the car that a person looking to buy one should be aware of?

Funny you mention this i was running some calculations yesterday...
A stock 2.5 l pumps out 201hp @ 2800lbs = 159.55bhp/ton While my 2.2l motor runs circa 125hp @ 1900lbs = 147bhp/ton So even with the greater weight there's an advantage. Suspension & brake mods can be done for approx the same price as a 14, I think i'll be keeping an eye out for something interesting!! BTW here's a fun bhp/ton calculator http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp |
