QUOTE(Andyrew @ Apr 25 2017, 02:07 PM)  All the simulations I have done with my current setup say I should be able to get close to 200mph at my high power setting and current gearing... Will I ever do that? Not likely... Most I've done is 150, and the rear end gets extremely light at that speed. Serious aero would be required (Full undertray front to rear) if someone was serious about going big speeds (180+) in a 914. I have two words for you youngster... Alina, Jerika.

High speed is easy in a 914. You just need the proper run off area.
 My apologies to any "Thelma and Louise" fans, |

I'm not sure Jake Raby still reads this site. If he does he will know the real numbers , but I believe his wife holds a 1 mile standing start record in a 911 at something like 160MPH.

LOL Bob...you always get the 6 and 5 backwards (165). The 991 GT3 Cup goes 156...
Tony QUOTE(naro914 @ Apr 25 2017, 02:12 PM) I know Tony (Cracker) has done about 156 in his....but that's with a wing/splitter/wide body...and LS engine. I've topped at 140 but I know the aero needs a lot of work so I'm hoping to get 150 eventually. |
