Hey race fans,
Sometime in the future I plan on running a 2.7 six over my four banger. Anyone have any idea about where my weight will be after the -6? I'm I looking at 50lbs? 100lbs? More?? I could drop some weight from the car still. Want to get that HP to weight just right!! Theres a large group in NASA (ST4) I think I could fit into perfectly If I get the math correct.

Recently, while waiting through an 8 hour layover at the airport, I decided to (on paper) see how much weight I could remove from my early 914-4. I came up with 305 lbs. That's removing everything that doesn't make the car go or stop. Fiberglass hoods, lids, and bumpers, no side windows, targa top, trim, wiper, hood locks, ect. and making up some light weight brackets for the seats. If the car weighs 2000, that is a 15% weight reduction and should make the original 1.7 feel peppy, braking should shorten and handling should improve as well. A stronger 4 would really get it moving without having to resort to a high dollar build.
All mods would be easily reversible so I might move forward on this soon. |
