Racecar! This is what I say to my wife every night when I walk in from the drive home. Mine is by no means as racecar as yours but I get the same feeling every day. Enjoy and have a great season. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Fun!
I ran a 2.2S-spec (carbed) engine for over 5 years and have often thought the ideal powerplant might be a balls-out twin-plugged high-compression 2.5 short-stroke + MFI. The high-revving mag case engines are such a joy in the 914 platform, especially one with more torque than a base 2.0, and optimized gearing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Especially when you consider what that money would buy you in a Boxster . Plenty of guys are opting for 2.5 Boxsters over here. |
