Realistic Top speed of a 914 Options

[Jason 914-6]

Hi might be a dumb question but how fast do you think a 914 with a six or four in could go I'm talking like land speed fast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Not a race car with spoilers/wings etc. but a narrow body low slung with tall gearing.
Any thoughts other than I'm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
But the Gt class here in Australia is a soft record ( 2lt class and 3lt) and well !!!!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Thanks for the input, If I run as a G/GT its an open record, so if I just run in that class it's a record (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Also none of blown records have ever been run so gives some scope to play some more, with a turbo combo. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
