Do you think a brand new 197 HP Civic Si can beat a 914 with 3.0 6 conversion? My buddy who doesn't have a preference either way says that the civic will win hands down (he has a VW symbol tattooed on his calf too). Even if the 914-6 has 260 - 280 HP. What do you guys think?

Yous guys are a little funny in the head.
The 911 carrera 3.0 motor made 255 from factory at 4200 rpms. And those 935 3.0s made 900 on the low side at full boost. *just to give a fair range for Porsche 3.0l power output. |

And those 935 3.0s made 900 on the low side at full boost. *just to give a fair range for Porsche 3.0l power output. I don't know where you get your numbers, but the normally aspirated R.O.W. 911 SC 3.0 only produced 204 or so horsepower from the factory. During the same time period (1982-1983) the R.O.W. 3.3 liter Turbo produced 300 horsepower. The USA 1983 3.0 SC produced 180 horsepower from the factory. The 1982-1983 3.3 Turbo was never officially imported into the USA. My information is from page 9 of the Technical Specifications Booklet (82, 83 models). You may have seen the torque spec for USA cars but have your numbers and units wrong, 257Nm @ 4200 RPM = 189 lb*ft @4200 RPM, but USA HP was given as 180 HP @ 5500 RPM. |
