Have you made changes to your 914 body or are you thinking of it?
Here are a number of computer models comparing different body modifications to the 914 and the effects that they have on the cars aerodynamic drag. http://www.cassidy-online.com/porsche914/aerodynamic_aids |

So does anyone have EQUATIONS that one could plug in values to get a rough estimate of x (x=top speed or hp or weight or...whatever is trying to be figured out)? Variables like weight, hp, frontal area, Cd, gearing (this would be real nice!), speed, etc.
I understand aerodynamics isn't simple stuff but aren't there algebraic equations that could give ball-park values? I'm looking for equations, not web pages that output the results. |
