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 |

Frontal profile X Cd = Drag Efficiency
Wind speed X wind density (should be a constant for your area)= resistance Resistance X drag efficiency = total resistance on the car EDIT: Gearing starts to get a little harder. Most of figuring race car aero IS reducing that frontal profile and reducing that Cd. But you're going to need to calculate acceleration rate in X gear in a vacuum, and then apply total resistance that you calculated earlier. |
