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.

Best bang for the buck would be a big /4 with dry sump & lighten the car. 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. ...All mods would be easily reversible so I might move forward on this soon. I just finished reading this thread because I want to know what Id be getting into with a vintage correct racer, and this by all means tells me to stay with a -4, than a -6 I watch Bring a Trailer fairly closely and when I saw the guy say that he had the reserve set at the price it cost to build the motor. Then at $30k+ and NOT selling, I knew I dont have the stomach (and wallet, more importantly) for -6 racing https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-porsche-914-18/ |
