Now, if those intercoolers and headers could just be flipped... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

That'd be spiffy but the gearbox to take that power would probably cost as much as the engine itself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Gm has had a v6 for years that's outpowered their v8. Maybe that's a play on it. Dunno. Not too much of an american car guy.

Meanwhile.... Noble reccomends a V6 drivetrain for their M12 chassis. They say Ford, but this would fit nicely, I'm sure. And it's *only* about $30,000 to get bare Noble M12.....

You haven't seen the price tag yet I take it. I think the short block is close to 10K.

Why do people keep putting crazy HP engines in tube frame cars with "914" bodies on them? There are other mid engine cars that are more current and with better potental. What about a NSX with a V8TT? (OK, its a ricer) I just think the short 914 wheel base isn't ideal for 800-1400 hp.

I agree in a way, for example, I've been salivating over building an Ultima GTR, but I've neither the money nor the space to do it in currently. When I do have the money and the space, watch out! I'm thinking twin turbo Northstar. I think the GTR is about as sexy as any exotic sports car out there, but maybe that's just me.

Ultima GTR sexyness:

But I also understand why people would be motivated to stick a big engine in a 914... It would be fun to humiliate the jackass Ferrari and modern Porsche owners poseurs out there, not to mention the ricers, because it seems that many of them have small, fragile egos and think everybody else is below them. Not that I'm saying all Ferrari or Porsche owners are (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) (most certainly not you 914 and vintage 911 owners), but I've noticed a certain tendency, for people who own expensive cars to be jerkoffs. Then there's the "because I can do it" factor, and maybe they just want their car to be insane, and impossible for most other people to drive. I think any reason is a valid one.

You build a 2000hp capable 914 and stick with a 930 gear box? Couldn't you have used a better gear box?

When will people quit complaining about a tube chassis 914 not being a 914. Neither is a V8 powered 914. I think the 914 loooks good it just needs some tweaks to make it reaaalllyyy sweet.

The guy above me answered the question: "cause he can"

I didnt discourage the owner.... because I'll get to drive it..LOL

You have seen pics of the car Aaron. It was the red slant nose 935 style 914 with no windshield. It runs now, just dialing in all the rest of the stuff.

Kenny Duttweiler is an amazing person.

The buick platform doesn't get enough credit. I've got a 275hp naturally aspirated engine sitting on the stand waiting to go into my red car. Very light, plenty of power, and they do not have vibration issues, contrary to what you hear occasionally. It was the 70's odd fire cars that had a rough idle.

I'm thinking of dying in the car for fun. It will make for good reading on the club site.

I only know this one group of guys with really expensive cars. They are very young and all have multiple ferraris and lambos. And yes they are jerkoffs. We do some work for them and every time they are in the office not once have they been there and not mentioned they are "Ivy League".

They also don't do any real racing but still think they are the hottest shit on 4 wheels. I guess driving 200mph on public roads in traffic makes you a badass.
