well i know that a 914 does pretty well in racing because of it's mid engine layout.....good weight balance. That all makes sense if you autocross or do circuits but what about landspeed? this past summer i was at El Mirage dry lake and happened to see a raced out orange 914. this doesnt seem like one of the best cars to use on a lakebed...now does it...and if i recall correctly, it didnt have a flat four in it. why wouldn't he/she (the driver) choose something more aerodynamic?
just curious (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |

I think if one were to cut off the windsield and cover the cockpit leaving just enough room for the driver's head to stick out and slam the thing to the ground with full skirts and smoooooth front end, it would be pretty aerodynamically clean. Put in a 9000 rpm 2L flat six and you might have a 2 litre contender.
