QUOTE(nine14cats @ Nov 15 2006, 07:40 AM)  QUOTE(grantsfo @ Nov 15 2006, 06:43 AM) I'm curious where does this car end up on GGR point scale for AX and TT? I dont think two cars could be closer in terms of capability than this Boxster and my 2.4 914-6. Power to weight is about the same, displacement is close, wheels are similar proportion, modifications are about the same. Sounds like lap times at Infineon are similar. Bet the Boxster isnt as heavily penalized as the 914 however. As it sits it is TT8 and AX5. Could be AX6 next year if the Boxster amendments of Bill Dally's goes through. Power to weight suggests TT9 but the mods point it out into TT8. If I add even 1 more point it goes to TT7, so the next mods need to be HP. Grant, where do you land in the points scale? Bill P. With DOT R tires I'm in TT5 and AX3. Heavy penalities for being a 914 and for engine conversion/displacement increase. I kind of like the current points system as it has driven me to build a car that will be more of an AX TTOD contender. I havent calculated points for my planned engine rebuild. |

Yep. The factory manuel shows the same graph.
The 2.7 box isnt much better. B |

I talked with Paul Guard and Vision Motorsports (Kokeln) this morning. Gear sets are in the works but no timing. "Maybe" next year.

Yep. I knew that too..LOL Paul is getting tired of me calling. I could have had Jap gears by now.
The people to contact are the Audi people.. Audi box.. maybe locate another Audi box that has better gearing. Stay away from the six speed.. it is HEAVY/TANK. B |
